How to Install Traggo on Your Synology NAS

Traggo is a tag-based time tracking tool. In Traggo there are no tasks, only tagged time spans. With tags, Traggo tries to be as customizable as possible, for example, if you work on different projects you could add a project-tag. If you like to see statistics from the different things you do, you could add a type-tag with values like email, programming, meeting. You can do it just as you like. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Traggo on your Synology NAS using Docker.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Traggo 0.5.1 release.

Install Container Manager via Synology “Package Center”. If you run an older DSM version (under 7.2), search for Docker instead of Container Manager.

  • STEP 3

Go to File Station and open the docker folder. Inside the docker folder, create one new folder and name it traggo. Follow the instructions in the image below.
