2025-04-15This folder, as we will still need to create one more directory for the UniFi network controller to work on our Synology NAS.5. Open the create folder dialog again by clicking the “Create” button (1.) and then clicking the “Create folder” option (2.).6. This final folder must be named “data” (1.). Once you have typed out this name, click the “OK” button (2.).Opening the Container Manager7. Now that you have created the required folders, you will want to open the container manager. We will use this tool to download and run the UniFi network controller on our Synology.You can access this tool by first opening the applications menu in the top-left corner.8. With the application menu open, scroll and open the “Container Manager” application.Installing the UniFi Network Controller to your Synology NAS9. With the container manager now open on your Synology, change to the “Project” tab (1.).On this tab, find and click the “Create” button (2.) to begin creating the Docker project for the network controller.10. You will now get to fill out some information about this new project. Start by filling out a name for your project, we recommend calling this project “unifi” (1.).After filling out the project name, click the “Set Path” button (2.).11. This screen allows us to select where the UniFi Network Controller will be set up on our Synology NAS. Using this dialog, select the folder we created earlier in this guide (1.).Once you have selected the right folder, click the “Select” button (2.).12. Now, we want to change the mode from “upload” to “create“. To do this, click the select box on this screen (1.).Out of the two options, you will want to select the “Create docker-compose.yml” option (2.).13. We can now fill out the Docker Compose file (1.) that will install the UniFi network controller on the Synology NAS.While typing out these lines, you replace “" with a TZ identifier for where you live. For example, we live in Hobart, Australia, so we used “Australia/Hobart“.Once you have filled out this information, click the “Next” button (2.).14. We don’t intend on using the web portal, so click the “Next” button to proceed.15. To finish setting up the UniFi network controller and start it on your Synology, click the “Done” button.16. If everything has worked correctly, you should see the “unifi” project with a little green orb next to it.Accessing the UniFi Network Controller Web
2025-03-31In this tutorial, we will show you how to run the UniFi Network Controller on a Synology NAS.The UniFi Network Controller is a key component to any house or office that uses the widely popular UniFi range of networking gear.This controller is in charge of adopting new devices to your UniFi network and managing them. While you can buy one of the devices Ubiquiti sells with the Network controller running on it, it is also possible to self-host this controller yourself.A Synology NAS is a great place to host your UniFi network controller as it isn’t demanding enough that it will gobble up all your performance. Additionally, since you probably keep your NAS powered on anyway it saves you from having to plug in and manage yet another device.We will use a Docker container to make running this controller as straightforward as possible. This has the benefit of not having to install additional software that isn’t natively supported on the Synology operating system.Installing and running the UniFi Network Controller on a Synology NASIn the following sections, we will walk you through installing and using the UniFi network controller on your Synology NAS and show you how to override the IP address your controller broadcasts.Please note that before proceeding with this tutorial, you will need to have the container manager installed on your Synology NAS.Additionally, your NAS must have a static IP address. If your router assigns it a random IP, there is a big chance the controller will break down the track.Creating a Directory to Store the UniFi Network Controller1. Before we install and get the UniFi Network Controller up and running on a Synology NAS, we need to do some preparatory work. The first step requires us to create a couple of folders. These folders will be where we store the controller’s Docker Compose file.To begin this process, open the “File Station” application.2. With File Station open, change to a directory where you want to store the network controller. In our case, we are storing ours within a shared folder called “docker” (1.).Once you are in the correct location, click the “Create” button (2.). A drop-down menu will appear. You will want to click the “Create folder” option (3.) within this menu.3. Using the following dialog, type in the name “unifi” (1.), and then click the “OK” button to proceed.4. You should now have a directory called “unifi“. Enter
