Wedding Share is a very basic app with only one goal in mind. It provides you and your guests a way to share memories of and leading up to the big day. Simply provide your guests with a link to a gallery either via an URL or, even better, by printing out the provided QR code and dropping it on your guests dinner tables. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Wedding Share on your Synology NAS using Docker and Portainer.
This guide works perfectly with the latest Wedding Share v1.0.10 release.
