Deployment on Synology NAS

We recommend using Docker Compose for simple and robust deployment.

1. Prerequisites

Docker and Container Manager installed on your Synology NAS.
Make sure ports 5011 are free, or adjust docker-compose.yml to fit your needs.

2. Setup

Create a docker-compose.yml file matching the one provided in the repository:

version: '3.8'

services:
  kv-tube-app:
    image: git.khoavo.myds.me/vndangkhoa/kv-tube-app:v4.0.4
    container_name: kv-tube-app
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "5011:3000"
    volumes:
      - ./data:/app/data
    environment:
      - KVTUBE_DATA_DIR=/app/data
      - GIN_MODE=release
      - NODE_ENV=production

3. Run

In the directory containing your docker-compose.yml, run:

docker-compose up -d

The application will be accessible at http://<your-nas-ip>:5011.

Development

Frontend builds can be started in frontend/ via npm run dev.
Backend server starts in backend/ via go run main.go.
