Synology Install Jellyseerr with Portainer

MyĀ previous guide for JellyseerrĀ involved the use of Task Scheduler. Today Iā€™m offering a recommended and excellent alternative for installing the latest JellyseerrĀ version via Portainer. Jellyseerr is a free and open source software application for managing requests for your media library. It is a a fork ofĀ OverseerrĀ built to bring support forĀ Jellyfin, Plex and EmbyĀ 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 JellyseerrĀ on yourĀ Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

šŸ’”Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Jellyseerr v2.3.0Ā 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.
