Deployment: Synology DSM 7.2+

Prerequisites

• DSM 7.2 or newer with Container Manager (DSM 7.0/7.1 see "Legacy" below)
• NAS on the same LAN as the target devices
• Administrator rights

Steps

1. Import the image

   Container Manager can't build images itself. Download:

   docker pull ghcr.io/callmetechie/gatecontrol-gateway:latest
   docker save -o gatecontrol-gateway.tar ghcr.io/callmetechie/gatecontrol-gateway:latest
   

   Then upload via File Station to /volume1/docker/ and select it in Container Manager → "Import".

2. Directory structure

   Via File Station:

   /volume1/docker/gatecontrol-gateway/
     └── config/
         └── gateway.env    ← downloaded from the GateControl UI
   

3. Create the project

   Container Manager → Project → Create:

   • Path: /volume1/docker/gatecontrol-gateway
   • docker-compose.yml: copy-paste from docker-compose.example.yml (see the main repo)

4. Start

   Project → Start. Logs via Container Manager → Project → Logs.

DSM 7.0/7.1 (Legacy)

Container Manager on older DSM versions has limited docker-compose support. Recommended: standalone Docker via SSH:

ssh admin@synology
cd /volume1/docker/gatecontrol-gateway
sudo docker compose up -d

For users who prefer to stay on the old setup: docker-wireguard-go is still available as a simple WG client without Gateway features.
