Synology DSM 6

Use this guide to install RustDesk Server OSS on Synology DSM 6 with Docker on older NAS systems.

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

This tutorial is based on latest DSM v6 and v7.

When should you use the DSM 6 guide?

Use this guide only if your Synology NAS is still on DSM 6 and you are deploying RustDesk Server OSS through the older Docker package. If your NAS is already on DSM 7.2, use the Container Manager guide instead.

DSM 6 deployment checklist

• Confirm your NAS is still running DSM 6.
• Install the Synology Docker package from Package Center.
• Create a persistent host folder for RustDesk data and keys.
• Run both hbbs and hbbr with host networking and auto-restart enabled.
• Retrieve id_ed25519.pub after the containers start.
