Peppermint is a ticket management system that helps helpdesks and service desks manage internal staff and customer requests. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Peppermint on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.
This guide works perfectly with the latest Peppermint 0.2.3 release.
