Installation t's just little bit complicated for intermediate user than just installation of standard Synology package. Just install Docker package, then in docker download soerentsch/serviio image and install it. Then you must set mount path to volume and it's done. Last step - go to
http://<ip addres of NAS>:23423 in web browser and go change settings of Serviio itself.
You should put together a YouTube video to show the process from start to finish....I think it comes down to.....once you upgrade Synology, you better have a way forward or else Serviio just won't work....and for people to actually see it running and the method it took to get it there would put people's mind at ease.
It is a high risk for those that need Serviio and are unclear on exactly how to implement it in Docker.
I agree that a video or detailed step-by-step guide would be great. I would be happy to get away from the Synology DSM version of Serviio and be able to run the more current Linux versions. I may test it out, although I have very minimal experience with Docker.
In response to the last post, I think the risk of updating can be mitigated by not upgrading to Synology DSM 7 until you verify that the Docker instance is working. Once you have Serviio confirmed working in the Docker container, THEN you should be able to upgrade to DSM 7. Please correct me if I am wrong with that assumption. Is there anything else that would need to be done with the container after upgrading from DSM 6 to DSM 7, or would it just work (isn't that the purpose of containers to begin with)?
Well that is the problem, usually upgrades don't affect installed apps....in this case...it breaks serviio directly. I don't know how the ROOT user is dealt with in the Docker environment from DSM6 to DSM7......and mind you, it's a one way trip.....there are hacks to get 7 back to 6.....but what a mess that makes.....and then the risk to any data on the drives that goes with it.
So in my humble opinion, for me personally, this is a non starter and I'll just live with DSM6 until some miracle comes along to resolve the mess Synology has created.
