How to Install Taisun on Your Synology NAS

Taisun is an application for a Docker enabled device with an emphasis on providing a web based interface for managing a single server. Taisun allows you to: Deploy and manage web based virtual desktops. Deploy Taisun specific stacks of applications. Browse available images on popular Docker repositories. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Taisun on your Synology NASĀ using Docker.

šŸ’”Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Taisun 0.6.0 release.

Taisun Deprecation Notice: Due to the upstream project no longer being in development, the Taisun container is now deprecated. This means you can continue to install it and use it, but there will be no more updates of any kind to the software. In any case, if a developer may decide to pick up and continue the project, I will update the article accordingly.

šŸŸ¢Please Support My work by Making a Donation. Almost 99,9% of the people that install something using my guidesĀ forget to support my work, or justĀ ignoreĀ STEP 1. 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.
