How to Install UpSnap on Your Synology NAS

UpSnap is a simple Wake on LAN app written with SvelteKit, Go, PocketBase and nmap. Discover all devices on your Network by scanning it with just one click. You can easily set timed wake and shutdown events via cron. You also have the option to add custom ports to devices which will be pinged. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install UpSnap on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest UpSnap 3.2.4 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.

STEP 3

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

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