Yamtrack is a self hosted media tracker for movies, tv shows, anime, game and manga. Track your favorite movies, tv shows, anime and manga comics. Track each season of a tv show individually and episodes watched. Save, score, status, progress, start and end dates, or write a note. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Yamtrack on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Yamtrack v0.18.0 release.

• STEP 1

Please Support My work by Making a Donation.

• STEP 2

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

• STEP 4

Now create two new folders inside the yamtrack folder that you created at STEP 3 and name them db and redis. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.

• STEP 5

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 6

In the Name field type in yamtrack. Follow the instructions in the image below.

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

      test: timeout 10s bash -c ':> /dev/tcp/127.0.0.1/8000' || exit 1
      interval: 10s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 3
      start_period: 90s
    restart: on-failure:5
    mem_limit: 8g
    security_opt:
      - no-new-privileges:true
    depends_on:
      - redis
    environment:
        SECRET: dOxZYTTZgXKMHkqLBIQVImayQXAVWdzGBPuFJKggzcgvgPJPXpWzqzKaUOIOGGIr
        REDIS_URL: redis://redis:6379
        TMDB_NSFW: true #or false
        MAL_NSFW: true #or false
        TZ: Europe/Bucharest
        #TMDB_API: YOUR_TMDB_API_KEY

  redis:
    container_name: Yamtrack-REDIS
    healthcheck:
     test: ["CMD-SHELL", "redis-cli ping || exit 1"]
    image: redis:7-alpine
    restart: on-failure:5
    volumes:
      - /volume1/docker/yamtrack/redis:/data:rw

Note: Before you paste the code above in the Web editor area below, change the value for SECRET and add your own SECRET. (Generate your own Random 64 length SECRET.)

🟢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 10

Please wait approximately 10 minutes or you will get a blank Internal error page if you try to connect too soon. 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:8337 Click Register Now. Follow the instructions in the image below.
