My previous guide for OpenProject involved the use of Task Scheduler. Today I’m offering a great alternative for installing the latest OpenProject version via Portainer. OpenProject is a web-based project management system for location-independent team collaboration. This free open-source application is released under the GNU General Public License Version 3 and is available as a Community Edition and a chargeable Enterprise Edition. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install OpenProject Community Edition on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.
STEP 1

Note: Before you paste the code above in the Web editor area below, change the value numbers for user with your own 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.
Note: Before you paste the code above in the Web editor area below, change the value for OPENPROJECT_HOST__NAME and type in your own synology.me DDNS without https:// at the beginning that you have previously created at STEP 6.
STEP 14
Scroll down on the page until you see a button called 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.
STEP 15
If everything goes right, you will see this message at the top right of your screen: “Success Stack successfully deployed“.
STEP 16
Go back to STEP 1 or you will deal with karma 🙂.
STEP 17
Please wait approximately 10 minutes for the installation to be completed or you will get a blank 503 error page if you try to connect too soon. Now open your browser and type in your HTTPS/SSL certificate like this https://openproject.yourname.synology.me In my case it’s https://openproject.mariushosting.synology.me Add admin as Username and admin as Password then click Sign in. Follow the instructions in the image below.
STEP 18
After you click Sign in at STEP 17, you will be prompted to change the password. Add the current admin password then your new password. Click Save. Follow the instructions in the image below.
