My previous guide for Cloud Commander involved the use of Task Scheduler. Today I’m offering a recommended and excellent alternative for installing the latest Cloud Commander version via Portainer. Cloud Commander, like Double Commander, is a file manager with a console and editor. It includes a command-line console and a text editor. Cloud Commander helps you manage your Synology NAS server and work with files, directories and programs in a web browser from any computer, mobile device or tablet. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Cloud Commander on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Cloud Commander v18.4.0 release.

• 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

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 4

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

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

      - seccomp:unconfined
    healthcheck:
      test: timeout 10s bash -c ':> /dev/tcp/127.0.0.1/8000' || exit 1
      interval: 10s

• STEP 5

Scroll down on the page until you see a button named 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.

⌛Now just wait because the Cloud Commander image is about 1.5GB.

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

• STEP 7

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