Synology Install Doku With Portainer

MyĀ previous guide for DokuĀ involved the use of Task Scheduler. Today Iā€™m offering a recommended and excellent alternative for installing the latest DokuĀ version via Portainer. Doku is a simple, lightweight web-based application that allows you to monitor Docker disk usage in a user-friendly manner. The Doku displays the amount of disk space used by the Docker daemon, splits by images, containers, volumes, and builder cache. Doku is a great alternative to Glances. In this step by step guide I will show you how to installĀ DokuĀ on yourĀ Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer. šŸš€Note: If you need a more powerful and professional tool to monitor your Docker containers, check out my outstanding article: Monitor Your Synology With Grafana and Prometheus Dashboard.

šŸ’”Note:Ā This guide works perfectly with the latest Doku v0.0.16 release.

šŸŸ¢Please Support My work by Making a Donation. Almost 99,9% of the people that install something using my guidesĀ forget to support my work, or justĀ ignoreĀ STEP 1. Iā€™ve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I donā€™t run any ADS, I donā€™t require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I donā€™t collect IPs, emails, and I donā€™t have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also donā€™t have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. Itā€™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 andĀ type in http://Synology-ip-address:9090Ā Follow the instructions in the image below.
