Synology Install Shiori with Portainer

Synology Install Shiori with Portainer

My previous guide for Shiori involved the use of Task Scheduler. Today I’m offering a recommended and excellent alternative for installing the latest Shiori version via Portainer. Shiori is a simple bookmarks manager written in the Go language. You can use it as a command line application or as a web application. This application is distributed as a single binary, which means it can be installed and used easily. The alternative to Shiori is Wallabag In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Shiori on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Shiori v.1.7.0 release.

      - /volume1/docker/shiori:/shiori-data:rw
    ports:
      - 18080:8080

Note: Before you paste the code above in the Web editor area below, change the value numbers for user with your own UID and GID 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 SHIORI_HTTP_SECRET_KEY and add your own Shiori secret key. MariushostingMariushostingMari13 is an example for a SECRET KEY. You should invent your own Value. Add 32 random characters, both letters and numbers.
