I am a Linux-phobe (sorry if that offends ) and I am trying to get the Bitnami docker installed and running on Synology DSM 6.2. I get that I have to pass variables and configure ports and so on, but I am struggling to fathom out even the basics of this.
Can anyone help me with how to configure the docker and DSM to get it working?
I would be happy to assist you, however, due to the nature of your question I feel you may get a more constructive answer by posting on the Bitnami Community Forums
Thanks. Unfortunately, the Bitnami forums are not so easy to use. I wondered if anyone had a step-by-step guide to installing SuiteCRM on Docker (ideally on a Synology NAS, but I guess the issues are similar?) so I could get going quickly?
Thanks. As a newbie to docker it would be really helpful if there was a brief intro to the end to end process. Can you help me with that? I’m starting from a very low Linux knowledge base
This seemed to be one way people could get lightweight installs of Suite on a device like a NAS. The idea seems to be that it makes management easier…
How would you recommend running Suite on a NAS like a Synology? It’s an x64 box and could run a VM. SugarCRM has an already-packaged app for Synology, which would be the best way of running it, but there isn’t one for Suite.

I never had problems to use Suite without virtual machine if you use Suite in one company.
If you want to use Suite for accounts of different companies may be to use virtual machine it’s a good decision.
Have you given this docker image a try? - https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/suitecrm/
Instructions provided look correct however I personally would prefer using mount instead of a volume.
Hi. I have tried the Bitnami image. I guess the problem is that I don’t understand the way Docker works that would allow me to join up the dots. If there was a step-by-step guide that would get me (and others) going more quickly. And learn a little Docker in the process. Otherwise I have to learn Docker - perhaps my Christmas project!
I’ll see if i can find some time before the new year (Preferably much sooner) and write up to the best of my knowledge a simple docker setup for SuiteCRM and we can go from there.
Definitely suggest going through a bit of hands on learning with docker if thats the software you’ll be using, its a really interesting software and you unlock a lot you can do with it when you understand the basics.
Thanks Mac-Rae. I have spent some time looking at this and I’m struggling. Basically, the way docker setup is discussed in, e.g., the Bitnami setup description and the way it is presented in the Synology instance are sufficiently different that I can’t figure out what’s needed to get it working. For example, I’m failrly sure that mariadb can be used but how you link them, what volumes mean, etc., is beyond me.
