I’m receiving an error message though and my searches are not returning anyone else experiencing this issue. Just wanted to post here to see if anyone know what was causing this error (screenshot attached)?

Background task error for create home-assistant-1: unauthorized: authentication required
The CPU in my QNAP is an AMD RX-421ND, unless I’m mistaken that’s a x86 processor not an ARM processor. Not 100% confident on that. I’ll give and ARM version a shot if it works though, either way
Yeah, I followed the guide here verbatim. Also tried the ARM version referenced in my last reply. The ARM version installed successfully but the container will not start. The x86 version is still giving the same error: “Background task error for create home-assistant-1: unauthorized: authentication required”
As far as commands go, there isn’t any I’m running. It’s all GUI based on the QNAP Container Station app. Just find the docker version, configure parameters and click create. Per the instructions referenced above and copied below:
Install “Container Station” package on your Qnap NAS
Launch Container Station and move to “Create Container”-section
Search image “homeassistant/home-assistant” with Docker hub and click on “Install”
Choose “latest” version and click next
Choose a container-name you want (e.g., “homeassistant”)
Click on “Advanced Settings”
Within “Shared Folders” click on “Volume from host” > “Add” and choose either an existing folder or add a new folder. The “mount point has to be /config , so that Home Assistant will use it for the configuration and logs.
Within “Network” and select Network Mode to “Host”
To ensure that Home Assistant displays the correct timezone go to the “Environment” tab and click the plus sign then add variable = TZ & value = Europe/London choosing your correct timezone
Click on “Create”
Wait for some time until your NAS has created the container
Your Home Assistant within Docker should now run and will serve the web interface from port 8123 on your Docker host (this will be your Qnap NAS IP address - for example http://192.xxx.xxx.xxx:8123 )
So I was able to sort this issue out, turns out the time on the QNAP NAS was off by 10 minutes. Updated the time server and synced and we are running! Thanks for the ideas.
I did a little googling on similar docker errors and found that others have had the same problem. Checked the time and it was off so… gave it a shot! The link that got me pointed in the right direction was on GitHub https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks/issues/484
