Step 5

Select project from the menu down the side and then select Create button

Step 6

before we go any thurther we need to ensure we have our folders setup ready for the project.

I have a main folder on the Synology system just for docker projects. create the following using filestation

• viewtube folder and Config folder within the viewtube folder like below

Step 7

now we have created the folders needed for the project we can go ahead and create the project in Container manager

Give the project a name, change source to Create docker-compose.yml and add the path.

See below for before and after the code you will need is below also.

the volume path needs tobe exact or the project will return a fail.

press next when you are happy with the code

Step 8

setup a web portal if you like . I would not advise it. and press next

Step 9

Step 10

If you have a Exit Code of 0 like i have below then you are done. project created. if you have a Exit code 1 you have a error and need to visit the code again and trouble shoot.

Thats it you are done and updating your IP number to DuckDNS. See below on how to check if its working

One last thing you can check to see if the docker is Green and showing no Errors, todo that just goto Container manager and on the left select Projects and duckdns will be there Status Colum should be green if not you will need to trouble shoot.
