Synology DSM 6

An alternative up-to-date tutorial from third-party is here.

This tutorial is based on latest DSM v6 and v7.

After DSM 7.2 update, the Docker is upgraded to new “Container Manager”, please check this article instead.

  • Enable Enable auto-restart.

  • Enable Use the same network as Docker Host. For more about host net, please check.

  • Mount a host directory (e.g. /home/rustdesk/) to /root, hbbs will generate some files (database and key files) in this directory which need to be persistent over reboots.

MountFiles generated in the host directory
  • Set command

    Synology’s OS is Debian based, so host net (–net=host) works fine, we do not need to map ports with -p option.

    192.168.16.98 is an internal IP used here for demonstration only, please set it to a public IP when you deploy (or you can use your DDNS address if you have configured one in “Control Panel → Connectivity → DDNS”) and don’t forget to open ports on your router and your Synology firewall if this is enabled (“Control Panel → Connectivity → Firewall”)!

  • Done

Create hbbr container

Please repeat above hbbs steps, but name the container hbbr and command (for Set Command Step) should be hbbr -k _.

hbbr/hbbs containers

Double click on container and check logDouble confirm hbbs/hbbr using host network
