Installation on Synology NAS

Hello everyone

I’m new to home automation and I would like to install Gladys on my NAS.
I saw that there is a procedure but I don’t quite understand the Docker folder and where the terminal is in the NAS.
Would it be possible to describe step by step with photos so that we can install Gladys on the Synology NAS?

Thanks to you

Hello and welcome

I found this tutorial in English (:warning: it uses Portainer and I don’t think it’s the easiest method).

Other Synology users will probably answer you here :slight_smile:

If anyone has the courage, there’s a possibility to add Gladys to SynoCommunity.
Home Assistant already exists → spksrc/spk/homeassistant at master · SynoCommunity/spksrc · GitHub.

Thank you for the feedback and the help provided

I tried the tutorial that cicoub13 kindly found for me, I followed it but at the end I get an error when I try to launch it with Portainer.

Here is the message

Failure
Failure to deploy a stack: failure to create the composition project: failure to load the composition file: validation of /data/compose/2/docker-compose.yml: services. Additional properties ‹ Gladys › cgroup ', ‹ container name ›, ‹ network mode ›, ‹ registration ›, ‹ environment ›, ‹ privileged ›, ‹ healthcheck ›, ‹ restart › not allowed

And I don’t know what this means.

With Portainer, it will be complicated because Portainer does not manage directories like Container Manager: Portainer creates « /data/compose/2/ » which do not exist on the Synology, but CM is based on local directories (much better).
So in this case, Portainer is not the choice to make.

I am currently writing a tutorial to install Gladys on a Syno, it should be released this evening.

hello

Thank you so much for the help you will provide.

I am eagerly awaiting the tutorial

and here it is: Installation de Gladys sur un NAS Synology

Thank you for your help.

I followed the procedure to the letter and everything went as described in the procedure. But when I log in with my IP address plus 8420, this is what appears:

I’ve tried with several browsers, same problem

Do you have a solution?

Show us the exact address you entered. There might be an error.

I took the liberty of moving these 2 messages to the original topic.

As @Will_71 says, we should check what you entered in the address bar, and I’ll add the detail (bottom right of your screenshot).
On first launch, it can take up to 5 minutes for Gladys to initialize, after which it’s accessible.
Were you able to try again later?

Thank you for your feedback

In my address bar 192.168.1.17:8420

And when I click it, I get this:

Thank you.

Thanks, are you on http or https?
I can’t see it :confused:

I tried the two

Maybe a silly question but are you sure the Gladys container is operational (green dot in the list of containers)?

I’m following up on @GBoulvin’s comment to see if there are any files that have been created in the /docker/gladysassistant directory (or whatever you’ve set) in File Station?

Yes, the green dot is indeed the green dot

I’m sending you screenshots

I connected via http:// and https://

my NAS IP address

Thank you

Thanks for the screenshots!
From what I see in the gladysassistant directory, not all files are created, so it’s normal that you get this message in the web browser.
However, I’m having trouble figuring out why Gladys initialization isn’t completing. I’m stuck on this part.

Could you take a screenshot of your Container page? In the project, I see 1 container, but there should be 2 (gladys and watchtower).

@pierre-gilles Do you have any ideas or leads to explore?

Here are screenshots of my container

There is indeed an issue with the Gladys container as there are no volumes, environment variables, or even the execution command or Entrypoint: it’s all empty :roll_eyes:


On my end, I have:

@jehanne_michael Could you share the content of the docker-compose.yml you created?
