Synology Install openHAB With Portainer

My previous guide for openHAB involved the use of Task Scheduler. The open Home Automation Bus is an open source, technology-agnostic home automation platform which runs as the center of your smart home. It has the ability to integrate a multitude of other devices and systems. openHAB includes other home automation systems, (smart) devices and other technologies into a single solution to provide a uniform user interface and a common approach to automation rules across your entire system, regardless of the number of manufacturers and sub-systems involved, giving you the most flexible tool available to make almost any home automation wish come true. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install openHAB on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest openHAB 4.3.0 release.
