Installing Gladys on a QNAP NAS can be quite a challenge.  
Here is a possible approach that worked for me.

Starting situation: QNAP, two SSDs in RAID, with a fixed IP address on the local network.

Step 1:

Dockerstation - Create an application - yaml:

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

```auto
services:
  gladys:
    image: gladysassistant/gladys:v4
    #image: ghcr.io/gladysassistant/gladys-preview:cursor-matter-ac-mode-management-fb55
    container_name: gladys
    restart: always
    privileged: true
    network_mode: host
    cgroup: host
    logging:
      driver: "json-file"
      options:
        max-size: 10m
    environment:
      NODE_ENV: production
      # The database is now stored in the secure host volume
      SQLITE_FILE_PATH: /var/lib/gladysassistant/gladys-production.db
      SERVER_PORT: 8060
      TZ: Europe/Berlin
       # CHANGED: Set to 0.0.0.0 to use all interfaces (including vSwitch)
      MATTER_BIND_INTERFACE: 0.0.0.0
      MDNS_INTERFACE: 0.0.0.0
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      # Your absolutely secure QNAP path:
      - /share/CACHEDEV2_DATA/dockerdaten/gladysassistant:/var/lib/gladysassistant
      - /dev:/dev
      - /run/udev:/run/udev:ro

```

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

Step 2:

The Matter Hub (in my case, an IKEA Dirigera) must be accessible on the classic network (i.e.: IKEA app - User - Hub settings - Thread network - Network management); NAT64 must be enabled there.

Step 3:

QNAP does not use IPv6 at the moment. It must be activated manually. But then there is a crucial step to perform. You must configure a static IPv6 route to the Matter Hub on the virtual switch that manages the Gladys containers:

… and that’s it
