# Service Setup Guide: [Service Name] This document outlines the end-to-end flow for deploying [Service Name] on Synology NAS using Portainer. ## 1. Pre-Setup (Manual) These steps must be performed in the Synology DSM web interface before running any scripts. ### Create Service User - [ ] Go to **Control Panel > User & Group**. - [ ] Click **Create**. - [ ] Name: `svc-[service-name]` (e.g., `svc-paperless`). - [ ] Group: `users`. - [ ] **Important**: Record the Username and Password. ### Get User IDs (PUID/PGID) - [ ] Open a terminal (SSH) to your Synology NAS. - [ ] Run: `sudo synouser --get svc-[service-name]`. - [ ] Record the `User ID` (PUID) and `Group ID` (PGID). - *Note: Typically UID is >1024 and GID is 100 or 65536.* ## 2. Infrastructure Setup (Automated/Scripted) These steps prepare the folder structure and permissions. ### Run Setup Script - [ ] Navigate to the service folder: `/volume1/docker/portainer-stacks/[service-folder]`. - [ ] Run the creation script: ```bash sudo bash create_[service]_folders.sh ``` - This script creates all necessary folders in `/volume1/docker/` and `/volume1/media/` and assigns ownership to the service user. ## 3. Portainer Deployment Final steps to launch the service. ### Configure Environment - [ ] Copy `stack.env.example` to `stack.env` (if applicable) or prepare variables. - [ ] Update `PUID` and `PGID` with the values obtained in Step 1. ### Deploy Stack - [ ] Go to **Portainer > Stacks > Add stack**. - [ ] Name the stack (e.g., `[service-name]`). - [ ] Paste the content of `docker-compose.portainer.yml`. - [ ] Load environment variables from `stack.env`. - [ ] Click **Deploy the stack**.
