TeamMapper is a mind mapping made simple. You can host and create your own mindmaps. Share your mindmap sessions with your team and collaborate on mindmaps. TeamMapper features shared mindmapping sessions for your team based on websockets. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install TeamMapper on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest TeamMapper v0.1.9-2 release.

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.

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.

🟢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.

• STEP 9

The installation process can take up to a few seconds/minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection. Now open your browser and type in http://Synology-ip-address:3080 Click Create mind map. Follow the instructions in the image below.
