I'm running CDVR on a Synology NAS and want to migrate CDVR to docker on the Synology. Is there a guide to help me with this migration?
I had to give myself a crash course in Docker about a year ago so I could move my Channels DVR server off of a Raspberry Pi, which at the time was about to be unsupported server hardware. That said, here is my take on what you need to do to get yourself a Docker version of Channels DVR server.
First off, there is no step by step guide to install Channels DVR using Docker. There is a Docker compose file on the Channels website which you can use as a guide to do the Docker install. It is assumed that you already know how to use Docker on your Synology.
In order to gain an understanding of how to use Docker, I would suggest that you watch this video. There are some things in the video that are way more than you need to understand for the purpose at hand. However, there are three things in particular that you need to pay special attention to. The first is the folder structure that you need to put in place on your Synology. The second is the explanation for each of the elements in the docker compose file so you'll know what specifically you need to change in the sample docker compose file. Lastly is how to do the actual install on your Synology.
I know this probably sounds really complicated, but it's not that bad. You just need to understand how it all fits together.
I hope this helps.
