Provide a Synology NAS AddOn to allow the server to run from these devices
There are many SMB's running their office tools on their Synology NAS. It would be pretty nice to have the Manic Time Server running on this platform too. MT is just the kind of tool/facility to run from a NAS, providing secure access from everywhere.

 manictimeserver:
 image: manictime/manictimeserver
 container_name: manictime
 restart: unless-stopped
 volumes:
 - /volume1/docker/manictime/Data:/app/Data

 commentedEntering ADM email and PASSWORD is not working for me; Is there another solution or is there a default user and password?

 commentedCan you provide a complete and detailed tutorial on how to configure the NAS deployment server application? According to the operation described on the official website, I have successfully installed incense burning, but I will not open the application website on NAS.

      Martin Heger commented Good day, 
 I have a problem with installing manictimeserver on synology in docker. Please don't you have a simple procedure to change port 8080 and enter the administrator's password and e-mail? The current procedure is not working for me. Thank you very much

      Alexander Boelen commented I finally managed to correctly install the ManicTime server on my Synology NAS using Docker. Given the Docker tool provided on the Synology I had to find a workaround to get the admin username and password entered during the initial setup. 
 In addition to the instruction on the ManicTime Docker page (https://registry.hub.docker.com/r/manictime/manictimeserver), on the Synology you need to perform the following steps:
 Start the ManicTime image in Docker. When needed, change the container name.
 Then go to the advanced settings and open the Volume tab. Here you must bind a directory on your NAS (I used a folder named ‘Data’ nested in a dedicated Docker folder) to the \app\Data map from ManicTime.
 Then open the Network tab. Here I ticked the box to allow this container to use the same network as the host. I.e. the 8080 port must be available / not in use by any other app!
 Next open the Environment tab. First add to variables: ADMIN with the e-mail account for the administrator as value and PASSWORD with the password to be used as its value.
 Next I clicked Apply and started the server.
 Check the log and terminal whether the username and password are accepted. Then you can find ManicTime using the Network address of the host with port 8080 (http://<your server name or IP address>:8080).

 commentedI will like to test it on ARM raspberry Pi. I have RP2, RP3 and I could buy RP4

      Ward, Daniel commented +1 for QNAP support. I find QNAP more dependable than Synology between version changes.

 commentedHi, I use a Synology D216se NAS as my office's server. 
 It would be great to use ManicTime Server with it. Is there any solution for that?

 commentedI have a Synology DS214+ with CPU MARVELL Armada XP MV78230. Does it work there too? 
- 
      I think the current Linux version should work. 
 So either try Linux version or Docker.

 commentedhere I am - I can test it on a DS218+ which has an INTEL Celeron J3355

      ManicTime Server now runs on Linux and Mac, there is also Docker support. 
 Currently we only tested it on Intel 64 bit, but we can also make builds for ARM, if we can get some testers.

 commentedNAS yes! For a small office, running the server off a QNAP, MyCloud, Synology, or similar NAS drive would be ideal.

 commentedI would also prefer to use the server side on our Synology NAS! Hope this will be heard and soon you will release such a plugin.
