How to Install Vert on Your Synology NAS

VERT is an open-source file conversion utility designed for local processing using WebAssembly, ensuring files are converted directly on your device for enhanced privacy. Built with Svelte and TypeScript, it offers a user-friendly interface and supports multiple file formats with no size limits. While non-local video conversion is available via the official instance at vert.sh, users can self-host the daemon for full local functionality. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Vert on your Synology NAS using Docker and Portainer.

šŸ’”Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Vert Main TagĀ release.

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.
