Web-Portal is a web app written in Python using Quart, that aims to provide an easy and fast way to manage the links to all of your web services. I will show you how to install Web Portal on your Synology NAS using Docker.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Web Portal v2.4.0 release.

• STEP 1

Please Support My work by Making a Donation.

• STEP 2

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 webportal. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.

• STEP 4

Go to Control Panel / Task Scheduler / Create / Scheduled Task / User-defined script. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 5

Once you click on User-defined script, a new window will open. Follow the instructions below:

1. General: In the Task field type in Install Web Portal. Uncheck the “Enabled” option. Select root User.
2. Schedule: Select Run on the following date then select “Do not repeat“.
3. Task Settings: Check “Send run details by email“, add your email then copy paste the code below in the Run command area. After that, click OK.

docker run -d --name=web-portal \
-p 4855:8000 \
-e DB_URI=sqlite:///data/db.sqlite \
-e SECRET_KEY=mariushosting \
-v /volume1/docker/webportal:/data \
--restart always \
ghcr.io/enchant97/web-portal:2

Note: Before you paste the code above in the Run command area, change the value for SECRET_KEY and add your own secret key. mariushosting is an example for a key. You have to insert your own key.

• STEP 6

After you click OK on STEP 5 a new warning pop up window will open. Click OK.

After you click OK, type in your DSM Password then click Submit. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 7

After you click Submit on STEP 6, select your “Install Web Portal” Task then click the “Run” tab. You will be asked to run Install Web Portal – click OK. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 8

🟢Please Support My work by Making a Donation. Almost 99,9% of the people that install something using my guides forget to support my work, or just ignore STEP 1. I’ve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I don’t run any ADS, I don’t require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I don’t collect IPs, emails, and I don’t have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also don’t have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. It’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.

• 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:4855 Click Next to create your own administrator username and password. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 10

Add your own Username and Password then click Next. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 11

Check Public Portal and Show Widget Headers then click Next. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 12

Click Take Me To The Portal. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 13

At the top of the page click Log In then add your own Username and Password you have previously chosen at STEP 10. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 14

Click the gear icon at the top of the page then click Users. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 15

Create a new user with your own username and password then delete the current default admin. Follow the instructions in the image below.
