Put your files in the browser! Point Pupcloud to a local folder and instantly get its contents exposed as a web application. Browse, manage, share files and more in a truly portable way! Pupcloud doesn’t need a database, nor it leaves .dotfiles in the filesystem; it is packaged as a single executable file (written in Go+Svelte+Typescript). Pupcloud is an exercise in minimalism: it aims to be as simple as possible while retaining all the features you would like it to have. Just run it! It has everything and it fits in a pup-sized cloud. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install PupCloud on your Synology NAS using Docker.

STEP 2
Install Container Manager via Synology “Package Center”. If you run an older DSM version (under 7.2), search for Docker instead of Container Manager.
STEP 3
Go to File Station and open the docker folder. Inside the docker folder, create one new folder and name it pupcloud. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.
STEP 4
Go to Control Panel / Task Scheduler / Create / Scheduled Task / User-defined script. Follow the instructions in the image below.

- Schedule: Select Run on the following date then select “Do not repeat“.
- Task Settings: Check “Send run details by email“, add your email then copy paste the code below in the Run command area. After that, click OK.
docker run -d --name=pupcloud \ -p 9138:17178 \ -e PUP_ALLOW_EDITS=1 \ -v /volume1/docker/pupcloud:/data \ --restart always \ germanorizzo/pupcloud chown -R 1000:1000 /volume1/docker/pupcloud
STEP 6
After you click OK on STEP 5 a new warning pop up window will open. Click OK.
After you click OK, type in your DSM Password then click Submit. Follow the instructions in the image below.
