Install on Synology

Written for highsea 0.1.0 on DSM 7.2 or later with Container Manager, and checked on DSM 7.4.1.

Container Manager runs highsea from a compose file, which it calls a project. Its containers use published ports rather than the NAS's own network, which highsea supports.

Before you startCopy Anchor Link

• Install Container Manager from Package Center.
• In Control Panel › Shared Folder, make a shared folder called data on the volume with the most room. Inside it, in File Station, make downloads and media/movies. Keeping both in one shared folder is what lets highsea hardlink finished downloads into the library instead of copying them.
• In File Station, make a folder for highsea's own files, such as docker/highsea, and a config folder inside it. Container Manager may have made the docker shared folder already. Container Manager doesn't make a missing folder for a container: without config, the project stops with "Bind mount failed" and the folder's name.

Find your user and groupCopy Anchor Link

highsea runs as the user and group that own your files. Turn on SSH in Control Panel › Terminal & SNMP, sign in as your DSM user, and run:

id
# uid=1026(alex) gid=100(users) …

The first user made on DSM is usually 1026, and users is 100. Make sure this user can read and write the data and docker shared folders, in Control Panel › Shared Folder › Edit › Permissions.

Create the projectCopy Anchor Link

1. Open Container Manager, go to Project, and choose Create.
2. Fill in the first page:
   • Project name: highsea.
   • Path: the docker/highsea folder you made.
   • Source: Create docker-compose.yml, and paste the file below.
3. Leave the web portal through Web Station off; highsea serves its own.
4. Check the summary, choose Done, and let it start the project.

services:
  highsea:
    image: ghcr.io/highsea-tv/highsea:latest
    container_name: highsea
    environment:
      PUID: "1026"
      PGID: "100"
      TZ: Etc/UTC
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - /volume1/data:/data
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
      - "6881:6881/tcp"
      - "6881:6881/udp"
      - "7368:7368/udp"
    restart: unless-stopped

Before you paste it, change:

• PUID and PGID to the numbers id showed.
• /volume1/data if your data shared folder is on another volume.
• TZ to your time zone, such as Europe/Berlin.

./config is a folder inside the project's path, so highsea's database and backups sit next to its compose file.

Run setupCopy Anchor Link

Open http://<your NAS's address>:3000. highsea opens its setup; Install with Docker › Run setup walks through each step.

When setup asks for your folders, use the paths inside the container: /data/media/movies and /data/downloads.

Apps on your network find highsea by its broadcast on port 7368. If one doesn't, give it the NAS's address.

FirewallCopy Anchor Link

If DSM's firewall is on, allow TCP 3000, TCP and UDP 6881, and UDP 7368 from your network, in Control Panel › Security › Firewall.
