Docker on NAS — Practical Tips and Gotchas

July 7, 2021Updated Feb 17, 2026
  1. Environment specifications from Docker Hub docs should be entered as variables in the NAS environment tab.

  2. To create a PostgreSQL container and link it to a Redmine container, add the existing PostgreSQL container in the links tab, create an alias, then put that alias in the Redmine environment variables.

  3. To find the mount path for a Docker image in volumes, search "mount" on Docker Hub — the address that appears is the mount path.

  4. When using Docker on NAS, initially think of it as working with almost no Linux bash capabilities. You don't need to go through the hassle of working via bash.

  5. If you want to install multiple packages in a single container, there's no choice — you'll have to work through the terminal.

  6. Use Korean resources floating around on Google for reference only. If you blindly trust them, you won't be able to identify what's wrong when problems arise.
