My previous guide for Jellyseerr involved the use of Task Scheduler. Today Iâm offering a recommended and excellent alternative for installing the latest Jellyseerr version via Portainer. Jellyseerr is a free and open source software application for managing requests for your media library. It is a a fork of Overseerr built to bring support for Jellyfin, Plex and Emby media servers! It’s mandatory to have Plex installed on your Synology NAS in order to use Jellyseerr. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Jellyseerr on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.
This guide works perfectly with the latest Jellyseerr v2.0.1 release.

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
Go to File Station and open the docker folder. Inside the docker folder, create one new folder and name it jellyseerr. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.
STEP 4
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.

Note: Before you paste the code above in the Web editor area below, change the value numbers for PUID and PGID with your own values. (Follow my step by step guide on how to do this.) 1026 is my personal PUID value and 100 is my personal PGID value. You have to type in your own values.
STEP 6
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.
