TextPod is a single-page, local, web-based, note-taking app inspired by the “One Big Text File” idea. It allows you to have all your notes on one page and comes with a simple entry form (Markdown). It has search/filtering when you start typing with / Start a link with + and Textpod will save a local, single-page copy. You can also add files and image attachments to your notes. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install TextPod on your Synology NAS using Docker and Portainer.
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 textpod. 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 textpod. Follow the instructions in the image below.
services:
textpod:
image: freetonik/textpod:latest
container_name: TextPod
healthcheck:
test: timeout 10s bash -c ':> /dev/tcp/127.0.0.1/3000' || exit 1
interval: 10s
timeout: 5s
retries: 3
start_period: 90s
hostname: texpod-db
security_opt:
- no-new-privileges:true
ports:
- 8099:3000
volumes:
- /volume1/docker/textpod:/app:rw
restart: on-failure:5
STEP 6
Scroll down on the page until you see a button named Deploy the stack. Click on it. Follow the instructions in the image below. The installation process can take up to a few minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection.
STEP 7
If everything goes right, you will see the following message at the top right of your screen: “Success Stack successfully deployed“.
STEP 8
Go back to STEP 1 or you will deal with karma 🙂
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:8099
Enjoy TextPod!
