Synology Install Dashdot With Portainer

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. v5.8.3 release.
