How to solve the problem that Synology cannot install Docker

Docker has become a very popular containerization solution in work scenarios that deal with data and applications. Docker makes it easy to build, publish, and manage runtime environments, improving application reliability, portability, and security. However, some Synology users will encounter a problem that they cannot install Docker on Synology. This article will share with you some methods to solve this problem.

1. Check the hardware and system requirements

First, we need to check whether the Synology model and operating system version we are using meet the system requirements of Docker. Docker’s officially recommended hardware configuration and system requirements are as follows:

• 64-bit operating system
• CPU that supports hardware virtualization technology
• At least 4GB of memory
• At least 5GB of available disk space

If the Synology model and system version we use meet the above requirements, we will be able to continue with subsequent operations.

2. Prerequisites for installing Docker

Before installing Docker, we need to install the prerequisite software packages for Docker, including SSH, Python and Git. These software packages can be installed through Synology's official software center. We only need to search for the corresponding software package name and select the appropriate version to install.

3. Download the Docker installation package

Downloading the Docker installation package is the next step in installing Docker. We can download the installer for Synology from Docker’s official website https://www.docker.com/get-started. The name of the installation program is usually "docker-ce-xxx.spk", where "xxx" is the corresponding version number. After downloading, we can upload this file to the shared folder in Synology.

4. Install Docker

Next, we need to enter Synology’s “Control Panel”, select the “Applications” tab, and select “Docker” in the left menu. In the Docker application page we can see the “Docker” tab, click on it. In the "Docker" page, click the "Manual Install" button, then click the "Browse" button, select the Docker installation file we uploaded earlier, and click the "Next" button to start the installation.

5. Start Docker

After the installation is completed, we can see on the "Docker" page that Docker has been successfully installed. Next, we can select the Launch tab and click the Launch button to launch Docker.

Summary

The above are the detailed steps for installing Docker on Synology. Although Docker may have some problems in installation and use, it is still a very popular containerization solution that can help us process data and application work more efficiently. Hope this article can provide some help to those in need.
