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

⚐ Article aussi disponible en français ⚐

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 😉
