Install TOR Browser in DSM of Synology DiskStation NAS via Docker (tutorial, guide, instructions)

This guide allows the default DSM 'admin' user to install the TOR browser container in Docker.

The Docker package being obviously required, make sure you installed it:

 
Create a new folder for the new container to be installed:

 Go to the DSM control panel's Task Scheduler:

 Create > Scheduled Task > User-defined script

 The task's name is not important but it must be marked 'inactive':

 

 Just one clic in the second tab (don't change the current date):

 

In the third tab, type your e-mail address and copy-paste the following script in the bottom field before validating with the 'OK' button (feel free to change or omit the optional timezone parameter):

docker run -d --name=torbrowser \
-p 5800:5800 \
-e PUID=0 \
-e PGID=0 \
-e TZ=Europe/Paris \
--restart=always \
domistyle/tor-browser

 
It's now time to execute the installation script and wait for the e-mail to arrive:

 Access to the now active container, like other packages, is done through the port we typed earlier in the script (http://yourDiskstationIP:5800)

 

 To conclude, here is an example of an 'onion' site open in our new Docker container:

 

Remember to adjust the security level according to your preference and activities 😉
