I have created a separate user account to run all my dockerized applications. # Make a non-root user member of docker group $ sudo chown root:docker /var/run/docker.sock # Change group ownership of docker.sock to newly created group Changing docker.sock group ownership still needs SSH. You can achieve group creation either in DSM or SSH. Restart the Docker service and make non-root user members of the newly created group. Create a new group and make docker.sock be part of the new group. To make Docker accessible for non-root users through a CLI, you would have to move the docker.sock to a group that’s a bit more permissible. Srw-rw- 1 root root 0 Jan 5 22:15 /var/run/docker.sock If you look at the permissions on the docker.sock you will see it has both user and group of the root. If you want to access Docker from the command line, you need a little more configuration, assuming non-root log-in.ĭocker is installed and run as a root user.

If you manage Docker from DSM, then you are all set.Docker service runs under root user irrespective of the user who installed it from Package Center.Even if you edit the storage location in the Docker config file /var/packages/Docker/etc/dockerd.json, you can’t delete the shared folder. You can’t delete the shared folder as DSM complains about being used by the Docker application.If you want to move the shared folder, stop the Docker service, edit the Shared Folder from Control Panel and change the Location to match the new volume. It is possible to move the shared folder to another volume. Docker installation creates a shared folder docker in the default volume.Wait for few mins and once Docker is installed you will see Docker in Main Menu Login to DSM go to Package Center and search for Docker and click install.If the Dockerised application you want to run isn’t conventional, knowing a little deeper might go a long way. Installing Docker on DSM (DiskStation Manager, Synology NAS GUI) is as easy as clicking a button and gets you going quickly. Here is a quick intro to Docker on Synology NAS.

It frees time from administrative tasks and is repeatable, i.e. Upgrading DS218+ with loads of RAM allows me to run a host of Docker-based applications. I took the plunge, and in hindsight, it was one of the best decisions on hardware upgrades I have done, over the years. I came across a blog that suggested unofficial upgrades to bump it up to 16GB but, it required opening up the Synology NAS to bare bones to access the first DIMM slot. DS218+ comes with 2GB of built-in memory and is user-upgradable to a max of 10GB by adding a second 8GB DIMM. I was looking to utilise it more, rather than a glorified cache but memory limitation was a bummer. Since been using it as a transient store for all media files before it uploads to the cloud for permanent storage. I bought Synology NAS DS218+ about a couple of years ago.
