Synology Install LibreOffice With Portainer

Synology Install LibreOffice With Portainer

MyĀ previous guide for LibreOfficeĀ involved the use of Task Scheduler. Today Iā€™m offering a recommended and excellent alternative for installing the latest LibreOfficeĀ version via Portainer. LibreOffice is a free and powerful office suite, and a successor to OpenOffice. Its clean interface and feature-rich tools help you unleash your creativity and enhance your productivity. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install LibreOffice on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

šŸ’”Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest LibreOffice v24.8.3 release.
