Synology: Install Shaarli With Portainer

by

Synology Install Shaarli With Portainer

My previous guide for Shaarli involved the use of Task Scheduler. Today I’m offering a recommended and excellent alternative for installing the latest Shaarli version via Portainer. Shaarli is a minimalist link sharing service that you can install on your own server. It is designed to be personal (single-user), fast and handy. Shaarli allows you to bookmark your favorite pages, and share them with others or store them privately. You can add a description to your bookmarks, tag them etc. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Shaarli on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest version of Shaarli v0.13.0
