Synology: Install DokuWiki With Portainer

Synology Install DokuWiki With Portainer

My previous guide for DokuWiki involved the use of Task Scheduler. Today I’m offering a recommended and excellent alternative for installing the latest DokuWiki version via Portainer. Dokuwiki is a simple to use and highly versatile Open Source wiki software that doesn’t require a database. It is loved by users for its clean and readable syntax. The ease of maintenance, backup and integration makes it an administrator’s favorite. Built in access controls and authentication connectors make DokuWiki especially useful in the enterprise context, and the large number of plugins contributed by its vibrant community allow for a broad range of use cases beyond a traditional wiki. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install DokuWiki on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest DokuWiki 2024.02.06 release.

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

Go to File Station and open the docker folder. Inside the docker folder, create one new folder and name it dokuwiki. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.

Note: Before you paste the code above in the Web editor area below, change the value numbers for PUID and PGID with your own PUID and PGID values. (Follow my step by step guide on how to do this.) 1026 is my personal UID value and 100 is my personal GID value. You have to type in your own values.
