How to Install Qui on Your Synology NAS

Qui is a modern, high-performance web UI for qBittorrent, serving as a lightweight and feature-rich alternative to the default interface. Built with Go backend and React frontend, it ships as a single binary with no dependencies, making deployment effortless. Qui excels at managing multiple qBittorrent instances from one dashboard, with advanced rule-based automations, cross-seeding support for private trackers, fast performance on large libraries, scheduled configuration backups, reverse proxy mode, and easy Docker deployment. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install QuiĀ on yourĀ Synology NASĀ using Docker & Portainer.

Iā€™ve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I donā€™t run any ADS, I donā€™t require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I donā€™t collect IPs, emails, and I donā€™t have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also donā€™t have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. Itā€™s something I love doing and have been honest about my passion since the beginning. But I also Need The Community to Support me Back to be able to continue doing this work.
