Synology NAS

NOTE: Your Synology NAS will need to be running Kernel 4.x or higher; the app will not start on kernel version 3. See the “Outdated Synology NAS Kernel under Version 4” section of Mariushosting’s troubleshooting guide for more info.

You can run Manyfold on your Synology NAS by using the docker-compose template below with Container Manager on DSM 7.2+. Alternatively you can use the same template with Portainer if you’re running that, or on the command line if you prefer.

You will need your user and group IDs for the PUID and PGID variables; read this guide from Mariushosting for information on how to get them.

docker-compose.yaml

The following configuration is tested and working on a DiskStation 923+ with lots of memory and space; you may want to adjust the memory limits to suit your own device.

Third-party guides

Many people have successfully used Manyfold on their Synology NAS servers, and some have written articles on how to do it. Note that these might be a little out of date with more recent versions:

Once you've completed this step, your Manyfold instance should be up and running at http://{yourserver}:3214. Open it up in your browser, and then proceed to the next step to set up your administrator account.
