How to install ODK Central on Synology NAS with Docker

Hi @yanokwa,
Hi @mathieubossaert,
Hi @shadoworker5

Many thanks for your guidance.
After several attempts, failures and reading posts, I was able to install ODK Central on my Synology NAS with Docker.

The key steps to follow:

Creation of directories in the central folder
root@xxx: / central # mkdir -p ~/central/files/dkim/config
root @xxx: / central # mkdir -p ~/central/files/dkim/rsa.private

Creation of directory in at the root
root@xxx: / central # mkdir -p ~/data/transfer

Changing ports in the docker-compose.yml file

I followed the @jary's guidelines below:

Without first modifying the .env file (nano .env)

Then follow the other steps (by positioning yourself in the central directory:

  1. docker-compose build
  2. docker-compose up --no - start
  3. docker-compose up -d
  4. docker-compose ps # To make sure everything is working fine like below

  1. Create email and password

Thanks everyone.
I will do a tutorial in French with @shadoworker5 for French speakers.
We think it will be a good opportunity for them
