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 v0.17.2 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.

version: "3.9"
services:
  yamtrack:
    container_name: Yamtrack
    image: ghcr.io/fuzzygrim/yamtrack
    healthcheck:
      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: MariushostingMariushostingMari13
        REDIS_URL: redis://redis:6379
        TMDB_NSFW: true #or false
        MAL_NSFW: true #or false
        PUID: 1026
        PGID: 100
        TZ: Europe/Bucharest
        #TMDB_API: YOUR_TMDB_API_KEY
        #MAL_API: YOUR_MAL_API_KEY
    volumes:
      - /volume1/docker/yamtrack/db:/yamtrack/db:rw
    ports:
      - 8337:8000
      
  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 KEY. MariushostingMariushostingMari13 is an example for a SECRET KEY. You should invent your own Value. Add 32 random characters, both letters and numbers.
Note: Before you paste the code above in the Web editor area below, change the value numbers for PUID and PGID with your own values. (Follow my step by step guide on how to do this.)
Note: Before you paste the code above in the Web editor area below, change the value for TZ. (Select your current Time Zone from this list.)

• STEP 7

Scroll down on the page until you see a button called Deploy the stack. Click on it. Follow the instructions in the image below. The installation process can take up to a few minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection.

• STEP 8

If everything goes right, you will see this message at the top right of your screen: “Success Stack successfully deployed“.

• STEP 9

Go back to STEP 1 or you will deal with karma 🙂

• STEP 10

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.
