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 8.13.1 release.

💡Note: Check out my new guide on how to Install Dozzle Using Portainer.

• 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

Install Text Editor via Synology “Package Center”. (Mandatory STEP.) If you already have Text Editor installed on your Synology NAS, skip this STEP.

• STEP 4

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

• STEP 5

Download (click on the blue link below) and upload the users.yml file below in the dozzle folder that you have previously created at STEP 4.
