Synology Install Yaade with Portainer

My previous guide for Yaade involved the use of Task Scheduler. Today I’m offering a recommended and excellent alternative for installing the latest Yaade version via Portainer. Yaade is an open-source, self-hosted, collaborative API development environment. Even though popular solutions like Hoppscotch exist, their self-hosted app does not come with authentication and relies on Firebase for persistency. Yaade is developed from the ground up with self-hosting and security in mind. That means sensitive information in API requests can safely be stored on your own Synology NAS server. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Yaade on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.
