1. Download Docker Desktop for Windows
2. Run the installer and follow the prompts
3. When asked, enable WSL 2 (recommended) or Hyper-V
4. Restart your computer when prompted
5. Open Docker Desktop — wait until the status indicator turns green ("Engine running")

Requirements: Windows 10 (64-bit, version 2004+) or Windows 11. Docker Desktop is free for personal use.

To verify: Open PowerShell or Command Prompt and type:

docker --version

You should see something like Docker version 27.x.x.

1. Download Docker Desktop for Mac
   • Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4): Download the "Apple Silicon" version
   • Intel Mac: Download the "Intel chip" version
2. Open the .dmg file and drag Docker to your Applications folder
3. Open Docker from Applications — allow it when macOS asks for permissions
4. Wait until the whale icon in the menu bar stops animating ("Engine running")

To verify: Open Terminal and type:

docker --version

Most Linux distributions have Docker in their package manager.

Ubuntu / Debian:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose-plugin
sudo systemctl enable --now docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Log out and back in for the group change to take effect.

Arch / CachyOS / Manjaro:

sudo pacman -S docker docker-compose
sudo systemctl enable --now docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Log out and back in.

Fedora:

sudo dnf install docker docker-compose-plugin
sudo systemctl enable --now docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Log out and back in.

To verify:

docker --version

1. Open Package Center on your Synology NAS
2. Search for Container Manager and click Install
3. Once installed, open Container Manager from the main menu

That's it! You'll use Container Manager in Step 2.

Older DSM (< 7.2)? Look for "Docker" instead of "Container Manager" in Package Center.

Docker is built into Unraid. To enable it:

1. Go to Settings → Docker in the Unraid WebGUI
2. Set Enable Docker to Yes
3. Click Apply

You'll use the Unraid Docker UI in Step 2.

Open a terminal:

• Windows: PowerShell or Command Prompt
• Mac: Terminal (Applications → Utilities)
• Linux: Your terminal emulator

Run this command:

docker run -d \
  --name docsight \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 8765:8765 \
  -v docsight_data:/data \
  ghcr.io/itsdnns/docsight:latest

Windows PowerShell? Replace the backslashes \ with backticks ` or put everything on one line:

docker run -d --name docsight --restart unless-stopped -p 8765:8765 -v docsight_data:/data ghcr.io/itsdnns/docsight:latest

What these flags mean:

Open DOCSight: Go to http://localhost:8765 in your browser.

Create a docker-compose.yml file:

services:
  docsight:
    image: ghcr.io/itsdnns/docsight:latest
    container_name: docsight
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "8765:8765"
    volumes:
      - docsight_data:/data
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin  # optional: set your timezone

volumes:
  docsight_data:

Start it:

docker compose up -d

Open DOCSight: Go to http://localhost:8765 in your browser.

1. Open Container Manager on your Synology NAS
2. Go to Project in the left sidebar
3. Click Create
4. Set Project name to docsight
5. Set Source to "Create compose.yml"
6. Paste this into the editor:

services:
  docsight:
    image: ghcr.io/itsdnns/docsight:latest
    container_name: docsight
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "8765:8765"
    volumes:
      - docsight_data:/data
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin  # optional: set your timezone

volumes:
  docsight_data:

7. Click Next, then Done

The container will download and start automatically.

Open DOCSight: Go to http://YOUR-NAS-IP:8765 in your browser (e.g. http://192.168.178.15:8765).

Tip: You can find your NAS IP address in Control Panel → Network → Network Interface.

Older DSM versions don't have the Project feature. Use the Container UI instead:

1. Open Docker (or Container Manager) on your NAS
2. Go to Registry → Search for ghcr.io/itsdnns/docsight → Download the latest tag
3. Go to Image → Select ghcr.io/itsdnns/docsight:latest → Click Launch
4. Set Container Name to docsight
5. Check Enable auto-restart
6. Click Advanced Settings:
   • Port Settings: Add Local Port 8765 → Container Port 8765 (TCP)
   • Volume: Add folder or volume mapped to /data
7. Click Apply, then Next, then Done

Open DOCSight: Go to http://YOUR-NAS-IP:8765 in your browser.

1. Go to the Docker tab in the Unraid WebGUI
2. At the bottom, click Add Container
3. Fill in:

4. Click Add another Path, Port, Variable, Label or Device and add:

Port mapping:

Volume mapping:

5. Click Apply

Open DOCSight: Go to http://YOUR-UNRAID-IP:8765 in your browser.

1. Open your Portainer web UI
2. Go to Stacks → Add stack
3. Name it docsight
4. In the Web editor, paste:

services:
  docsight:
    image: ghcr.io/itsdnns/docsight:latest
    container_name: docsight
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "8765:8765"
    volumes:
      - docsight_data:/data

volumes:
  docsight_data:

5. Click Deploy the stack

Open DOCSight: Go to http://YOUR-HOST-IP:8765 in your browser.

Your configuration and history are stored in a Docker volume and always survive updates.

docker pull ghcr.io/itsdnns/docsight:latest
docker stop docsight
docker rm docsight
docker run -d --name docsight --restart unless-stopped -p 8765:8765 -v docsight_data:/data ghcr.io/itsdnns/docsight:latest

docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

1. Go to Project → select docsight
2. Click Action → Build
3. The container restarts with the new image

1. Go to the Docker tab
2. Click the docsight icon → Check for Updates
3. If an update is available, click Update

1. Open the docsight stack
2. Click Editor → Update the stack
3. Enable Re-pull image and redeploy
4. Click Update

docker stop docsight
docker rm docsight

docker volume rm docsight_data

Click the docsight icon → Remove. Check Also remove image if you want to free disk space.

Go to Container Manager → Project → select docsight → Action → Delete.

Open the docsight stack → Delete this stack.
