Synology: 30 Second Dozzle Install Using Task Scheduler & Docker

Dozzle is a simple and responsive application that provides you with a web based interface to monitor your Docker container logs live. It doesn’t store log information, it is for live monitoring of your container logs only. Well today I will teach you how to install Dozzle on your Synology NAS in less than 30 seconds directly through the Task Scheduler option. It’ll be over in a couple of seconds and it’s essentially child’s play.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Dozzle 4.10.12 release.

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

STEP 4

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

General: In the Task field type in “Install Dozzle“. Uncheck the “Enabled” option. Select root User.
Schedule: Select Run on the following date then select “Do not repeat“.
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=dozzle \

-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-e DOZZLE_USERNAME=marius \
-e DOZZLE_PASSWORD=mariushosting \
--detach \
--restart always \
amir20/dozzle:latest

Note: Before you paste the code above in the Run command area below, change the value for DOZZLE_USERNAME. Type in your own username. marius is an example for a username.

STEP 7

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

STEP 8
