This folder contains the Plex Library which can grow quite large, Logs, Settings and the Plug-Ins folder. For Plex, I’ve chosen to export the entire Library structure out of the container. The docker folder is a shared folder on my NAS. This approach makes container upgrades, backups and configuration easier. I’ve chosen to keep many settings and other data outside of my containers. Docker is available from the Main menu Sharing persistent data with Docker containers The package is provided and maintained by Synology. Go into the Package Center and install Docker. Docker support is a separate install on Synology DSM For some containers, I want them to auto update when restarted and linuxserver makes it easy for an end user like myself. They are popular amongst the Docker community and they provide the base images for most of my utility installs such as SABNZBd, PLEX and Unifi Controller. The good news is that once setup, you can use the Synology UI to control the start/stop events and also view the logs. A recent docker bug on Synology wiped all my container configuration which is the reason for switching to docker-compose, which I anyhow find more user friendly and easy to use. A new updated version using docker-compose is available here.
