My previous guide for Dashdot involved the use of Task Scheduler. Today I’m offering a recommended and excellent alternative for installing the latest Dashdot version via Portainer. Dashdot (or dash.) is a modern server dashboard, developed with a simple, but performant stack and designed with glassmorphism in mind. It is intended to be used for smaller VPS and private servers like a Synology NAS device. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Dashdot on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer. 💡Note: You can also check the Dashdot alternative Ward.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Dash. v5.9.0 release.

STEP 1

Please Support My work by Making a Donation.

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 dashdot. Follow the instructions in the image below.

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

version: "3.9"
services:
  dashdot:
    container_name: Dashdot
    image: mauricenino/dashdot
    mem_limit: 4g
    cpu_shares: 768
    security_opt:
      - no-new-privileges:true
    restart: on-failure:5
    volumes:
      - /:/mnt/host:ro
    ports:
      - 7512:3001
    privileged: true
    environment:
      DASHDOT_ENABLE_CPU_TEMPS: true
      DASHDOT_OVERRIDE_OS: Synology DSM

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.

STEP 6

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

STEP 7

🟢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.

STEP 8

The installation process can take up to a few seconds/minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection. Now open your browser and type in http://Synology-ip-address:7512

Enjoy Dashdot!
