Installation Device zigbee2mqtt on Synology NAS-Docker Container without auto-Detection

Configuration Zigbee
41

No, I have not stored it.

But I can copy the configuration.yaml

42

Alright. You should absolutely do that. If you donā€™t, the configuration is stored where the container runs and when you want to upgrade it will be gone.
I would start by creating a folder on your NAS where you store your container configuration. Then when you set up containers you point the container to that folder, for example

    volumes:
      - /share/container/zigbee2mqtt:/config

This means that all files that you store in your nas-folder /share/container/zigbee2mqtt (this is just an example) will be mapped to the containers config-folder.

After you get this working, you can recreate containers without losing the config.

But still no success.
I changed it to host. The container is running. I changed the port to 8099 in both (config und container).

What a messā€¦

To confuse you even a bit more :slight_smile: You could try setting it up with docker-compose. Iā€™m not sure how to do it in Synology, in QNAP I use the ā€œapplicationā€ folder, then click create, Iā€™m sure Synology has something similar.

Then you just paste this code and click create (after you have modified it to suit you):

version: '3.8'
services:
  zigbee2mqtt:
    container_name: zigbee2mqtt
    image: koenkk/zigbee2mqtt
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./data:/app/data #MAKE THIS MATCH THE FOLDER WE TALKED ABOUT LAST POST
      - /run/udev:/run/udev:ro
    ports:
      # Frontend port
      - 8080:8080
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin #SET YOUR TIMEZONE HERE
    devices:
      # Make sure this matched your adapter location
      - /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Texas_Instruments_TI_CC2531_USB_CDC___0X00124B0018ED3DDF-if00:/dev/ttyACM0

Yes, on Synology there is something simular called ā€œProjectā€.
I installed everything using ssh, so i know the settings. But I will try tomorrow.

Thanks a lot for the help.

I tried it again with that kind of installation, but no success at all.
the container runs, but i can not reach the webinterface.

Itā€™s really annoying:
The solution is so simple.
This entry in configuration.yaml does not work (source: Frontend | Zigbee2MQTT)


frontend: true
  port: 8090

This entry works (source: [Experimental feature] Webbased frontend Ā· Issue #4266 Ā· Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt Ā· GitHub):


frontend:
  port: 8090

Home Assistant is no fun like this. 3 hours wasted until I found this mistake.

Itā€™s not HomeAssistant that is at fault. Thatā€™s basic YAML syntax. It can be confusing, but once you learn YAML, things get easier.

Yes, you are right. At that time I hadnā€™t yet understood that I also had to set the port in the system.
