Resource Links Used in the Video > 20250621 - Due to Baidu Netdisk continuously deleting links, and constantly replenishing links being too time-consuming, it will no longer be used. Thank you for understanding. > Quark Netdisk will delete docker image files. If deleted, please use other netdisks. > Download addresses for various materials used: Quark Netdisk: https://pan.quark.cn/s/1b34caa2eba9 Xunlei Cloud Drive: https://pan.xunlei.com/s/VOTG_NmssPh-npbgrzfszsvBA1?pwd=xiby UC Netdisk: https://drive.uc.cn/s/233621db0c1b4 Google drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BbH8O3Qb2PPyLM7MXtu5Q9zVwCexDaXp?usp=sharing ## 3. Commands Used in the Video ### 3.1 Docker network creation command > docker network create --subnet=172.18.0.0/16 eeLan ### 3.2 Docker container creation command > docker run -d --restart=always -p 55201:80 -p 55202:443 --network eeLan --ip 172.18.0.3 --name ee-nginx-1.27.3 \ -v /volume1/eeWork/web_root:/web_root \ -v /volume1/docker/nginx_1.27.3/conf/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf \ -v /volume1/docker/nginx_1.27.3/conf/project_config:/etc/nginx/project_config \ -v /volume1/docker/nginx_1.27.3/ssl:/etc/nginx/ssl \ -v /volume1/docker/nginx_1.27.3/logs:/var/log/nginx \ -e TZ=Asia/Shanghai \ nginx:1.27.3 ### 3.3 Docker command line restart > //Verify configuration file is correct docker exec ee-nginx-1.27.3 nginx -t > //Restart docker container docker exec ee-nginx-1.27.3 service nginx restart ## 4. Netdisk Blocking Situation Explanation > 20241216 - Following audience recommendations, 123 Netdisk has been added. I've tried my best everyone, it's really exhausting. Contacting netdisk customer service has almost no effect. > 20241216 - Quark Netdisk attempt to rename to .exe ultimately failed. .tar.exe has been hidden, .tar.gz.exe has not been hidden yet but the outlook is not optimistic. Welcome recommendations for good new netdisks. Affected files are limited to .tar and .tar.gz only. > 20241215 - Quark Netdisk newly created links for tar and tar.gz will still be deleted. Contacting customer service doesn't resolve it. Currently I'm trying to rename by adding .exe at the end to see if this can circumvent it. After downloading .tar.exe, please rename and remove the .exe suffix (.tar.gz.exe likewise). Only the filename is renamed, the file content is unchanged. > 20241213 - Quark Netdisk encountered problems. Shared tar and tar.gz images were hidden. Other netdisks are normal.

# Your Free Web Server: Docker Nginx on Synology 7.2.2 ## 📌 Video Overview This video is a comprehensive technical tutorial that provides step-by-step instructions on installing Docker-based Nginx web server on Synology NAS 7.2.2. Content creator DP covers the complete workflow from resource downloading, file configuration to SSL certificate deployment, making it ideal for users wanting to leverage their NAS for personal web hosting. --- ## 🎯 Core Content **Why Deploy Nginx on NAS?** - NAS devices typically run 24/7, naturally suitable as web servers - Nginx is an industry-standard high-performance web server - Docker deployment offers greater flexibility and security **Main Operational Steps:** 1. **Resource Preparation** - Download required files from author's resource site (dpit.live00.com) - Two image formats available: uncompressed (186MB) and compressed (67MB) - Download configuration files and sample HTML files 2. **Directory Structure Setup** - Create image upload directory (e.g., docker/image) - Establish web root directory (e.g., work/webroot) - Create Nginx configuration structure: - nginx_1.27.3/conf (configuration files) - nginx_1.27.3/logs (log files) - nginx_1.27.3/ssl (SSL certificates) 3. **Docker Image Import** - Upload image files via File Station - Import image into Docker environment using Container Manager 4. **Network Configuration (Virtual Network Isolation)** - Create dedicated Docker virtual network (172.18.0.0 subnet) - Avoid conflicts with default bridge network (172.17.0.0) - Assign fixed IP address to Nginx container for inter-service communication 5. **Container Deployment & Configuration** - Configure port mapping (HTTP: 55201, HTTPS: 55202) - Mount 5 critical directories to container - Set timezone to Asia/Shanghai - Configure auto-restart policy 6. **HTTPS Security Setup** - Deploy SSL certificates for encrypted access - Modify Nginx configuration to add SSL support - Separate HTTP and HTTPS logs for better management - Test local HTTPS access configuration 7. **External Access Configuration** - Router port forwarding setup - DDNS domain binding (IPv4) - Enable domain-based access to personal web server --- ## 💡 Technical Highlights - **AI-Assisted Development**: Utilize AI to generate sample HTML and Nginx configuration files - **Dual Teaching Approach**: Explains both Docker command-line operations and GUI configuration - **Security Considerations**: Virtual network isolation, SSL certificate deployment, high-port usage - **Practical Demonstration**: Shows how to edit files online and view real-time effects - **Configuration Deep-Dive**: Line-by-line comparison of HTTP vs HTTPS configuration differences --- ## 🔧 Key Configuration Details **Port Strategy**: - Recommend using 5-digit high ports (like 55201/55202) to avoid home network restrictions - Standard ports 80/443 typically blocked by ISPs **Directory Mapping Logic**: - NAS physical path → Docker container internal path - Separate mapping for configuration files, logs, and web content - Enables direct editing and management on NAS **Project-Based Management**: - Each web project corresponds to independent configuration file - Supports multi-domain, multi-site deployment - Easy management of multiple projects through Nginx config files --- ## 📚 Use Cases - Personal blog/website hosting - Internal web application deployment - Development and testing environment setup - Home media server - Private cloud service frontend --- ## ⚠️ Important Notes - SSL certificate domain must match access domain - Nginx container restart required after configuration changes - IPv4 public IP or IPv6 environment needed for external access - Basic command-line knowledge recommended for efficiency --- ## 🔜 Coming Next The author plans to release an advanced Nginx reverse proxy tutorial, including password-protected high-security configurations to further enhance server security. --- ## SEO Keywords Synology NAS, Docker Nginx, Web Server Setup, Nginx Configuration Tutorial, SSL Certificate Deployment, Reverse Proxy, Home Server, Container Manager, Port Forwarding, DDNS Configuration, Private Cloud Setup
