Spotube is an open source, cross-platform Spotify client compatible across multiple platforms utilizing Spotify’s data API and YouTube, Piped or JioSaavn as an audio source, eliminating the need for Spotify Premium. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Spotube on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Spotube v3.9.0 release.

• STEP 1

• STEP 2

Install Portainer using my step by step guide. If you already have Portainer installed on your Synology NAS, skip this STEP. Attention: Make sure you have installed the latest Portainer version.

• STEP 3

Go to File Station and open the docker folder. Inside the docker folder, create one new folder and name it spotube. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.

• STEP 4

Log into Portainer using your username and password. On the left sidebar in Portainer, click on Stacks then + Add stack. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 5

In the Name field type in spotube. Follow the instructions in the image below.

Note: Copy Paste the code below in the Portainer Stacks Web editor.

🟢Please Support My work by Making a Donation. Almost 99,9% of the people that install something using my guides forget to support my work, or just ignore STEP 1. I’ve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I don’t run any ADS, I don’t require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I don’t collect IPs, emails, and I don’t have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also don’t have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. It’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.
