How to install Docker on DS216j

Docker is a very popular application container engine that can help developers deploy and run applications quickly, easily, and reliably in different running environments. DS216j is a home network storage device launched by Synology. It has the characteristics of low power consumption, compactness, and high scalability. It can also be used as a Docker operating platform. This article explains how to install and configure Docker on DS216j.

1. Check the hardware requirements

Before installing Docker, you need to check whether the hardware of DS216j meets the requirements. Installing Docker on DS216j needs to meet the following requirements:

1. The CPU architecture of DS216j is Armv7, and you need to confirm that Docker supports this architecture.
2. DS216j has a RAM capacity of at least 512MB.
3. The DSM (DiskStation Manager) system version of DS216j is preferably 6.0 or higher.

2. Download and install Docker

After confirming that DS216j meets the hardware requirements, you can start downloading and installing Docker. Here are the steps:

1. Open the control panel of Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM).
2. Find “Software Center” and click on it.
3. Find "Docker" under the "General" tab and click "Install".
4. Wait until the installation is completed and enter the "Docker" application.

3. Configure Docker

After completing the download and installation of Docker, some basic configuration is required. The following are the steps to configure Docker:

1. Click the "Register" button to register a Docker account.
2. Create a Docker namespace and record the namespace name.
3. Click the "Mirror" tab and select the required Docker image.
4. Download the selected Docker image and wait for the installation to complete.

4. Create a Docker container

After downloading and installing the Docker image, we need to create a Docker container to run the image. Here are the steps to create a Docker container:

1. Click the "Containers" tab and then click the "Create" button.
2. Fill in the container name and select the desired image.
3. Configure the container network and container data volume.
4. Click the "Create" button and the container will start running.

5. Run the Docker container

After creating the Docker container, we need to run the container and test whether it works properly. The following are the steps to run a Docker container:

1. Find the container you want to run in the container list, and then click the "Run" button.
2. Wait for the container to start and run.
3. Enter the IP address and corresponding port number of the container in the browser to test whether the container can work normally.

Conclusion

Through the above steps, we can quickly, easily and reliably install and configure Docker on DS216j and run the container. Using Docker can greatly improve the efficiency and reliability of application deployment, while also improving the quality and speed of development work.
