Zublo is an open-source, self-hostable personal subscription tracker designed for self-hosters and privacy-conscious users. It provides a clean web interface to manage recurring payments with features like calendar views, spending statistics, multi-currency support, reminders, API access, and built-in AI for spending analysis, recommendations, and chat-based workflows (supporting multiple LLM providers including local ones). Built with React and PocketBase, it deploys easily via Docker in a single container, giving users full data ownership with SQLite persistence. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Zublo on your Asustor NAS using Docker & Dockhand.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Zublo v0.1.0 release.

Go to File Explorer and open the Docker folder. Inside the Docker folder, create one new folder and name it zublo. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.

Open your browser and type in http://asustor-ip-address:3866 to connect to your Dockhand container. On the left sidebar, click Stacks then + Create. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 5

In the Stack name field, type in zublo. ⚠️Warning: Type in the name in lowercase letters. The installation process can take up to a few seconds/minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection. Follow the instructions in the image below.

🟢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.
