How to Install Web-Check on Your Synology NAS

Web-Check will help you get an insight into the inner-workings of a given website: uncover potential attack vectors, analyze server architecture, view security configurations, and learn what technologies a site is using. Currently the Web-Check dashboard will show: IP info, SSL chain, DNS records, cookies, headers, domain info, search crawl rules, page map, server location, redirect ledger, open ports, traceroute, DNS security extensions, site performance, trackers, associated hostnames, carbon footprint. The aim of Web-Check is to help you easily understand, optimize and secure your website. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Web-Check on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.
