Synology Install Conreq with Portainer

My previous guide for Conreq involved the use of Task Scheduler. Today I’m offering a recommended and excellent alternative for installing the latest Conreq version via Portainer. Conreq is an application for managing requests for your media library. It integrates with your existing services such as Sonarr and Radarr. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Conreq on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Conreq v0.21.1 release.
