How to Install Reactive Resume V5 on Your Synology NAS

Reactive Resume version 5 is a free, open-source resume builder that prioritizes privacy and simplicity. It allows you to create, customize, and share professional resumes with real-time previews, modern templates, drag-and-drop sections, rich text editing, custom CSS support, and export options in a PDF or JSON format. The app ensures no tracking or data selling, gives you full ownership of your data, and offers self-hosting via Docker. No account is required for basic use, it supports multiple languages, and newer versions include AI-assisted features. It’s built with React, TypeScript, Tailwind, and other modern technologies.
