Synology Docker Compose Example
This folder is an example docker-compose.yml file and a .env file for using docker through a Synology Server.
The .env file is a special environment/variable file that docker-compose automatically uses to make configuration of your containers easier.
Directions
First, create the directories where you want the containers to save everything. I use the same base directory for them, like: /volume1/Docker/unifi-poller, then inside the ./unifi-poller directory: ./grafana and ./influxdb.
NOTE: Its best to use the command line over SSH to create these directories, AFTER you have the root shared directory created. (Control Panel -> Shared Folder -> Create)
sudo mkdir -p /volume[#]/[Shared Directory]/unifi-poller/grafana
sudo mkdir -p /volume[#]/[Shared Directory/unifi-poller/influxdbx
Where /volume[#] is the volume number corresponding to your volumes in Synology;
[Shared Directory] is the shared directory from above, and then
create the grafana and influxdb directories.
You still have to do this prep work creating the unifi-poller user, which I'll re-iterate here:
#. Create a new user account on the Synology from the Control Panel:
- Name the user unifi-poller
- Set the password (you don't need to logon as unifipoller and change it)
- Disallow Password Change
- Assign them to the user group users
- Give them r/w permission to the folder you created e.g. /docker/unifi-poller
- Don't assign them anything else - the point of this user is for security's sake.
#. SSH into your Synology
#. Run the following command to find the PID of the user you created and set the variable GRAFANA_LOCAL_USERID in your .env file:
- sudo id unifi-poller
- GRAFANA_LOCAL_USERID=1026
##Variables
For all of the variables used in the docker-compose file, make sure to not only read over but make important edits to the docker-compose.example.env file. As well as making a copy and naming it .env`
For the /local/storage/location/ lines, change those to match your directories.
#influxdb
INFLUXDB_ADMIN_PASSWORD=changeme
INFLUXDB_LOCAL_VOLUME=/local/storage/location/influxdb
#grafana
GRAFANA_USERNAME=unifi-poller_username
GRAFANA_PASSWORD=changeme
GRAFANA_LOCAL_USERID=1026
UNIFI_PASS=set_this_on_your_controller
