How to Install RethinkDB on Your Synology NAS

RethinkDB is a free and open-source, distributed document-oriented database. The database stores JSON documents with dynamic schemas, and is designed to facilitate pushing real-time updates for query results to applications. RethinkDB pushes JSON to your apps in real-time. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install RethinkDB on your Synology NAS using Docker.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest version of RethinkDB v.2.4.4
