Matter Server Docker Container on Synology NAS / Home Assistant Core

[Nevs88 (Sven Jachalke)]

Hey guys,

I have not found any good tutorial to install the home assistant matter-server (GitHub - home-assistant-libs/python-matter-server: Python server to interact with Matter) docker container on a Synology NAS (in my case a DS416play). So I wanted to share my approach:

In my docker folder a created the new folder (matter-server + data) like:
/volume1/docker/matter-server/data

Within DSM I activated IPv6 support in the network options:
System Settings/Network/Network Interface → Edit you used network connection → IPv6 Tab → IPv6 Setup: Automatic

With portainer I deployed then the following stack:

version: '3'
services:
  matter-server:
    container_name: matter-server
    image: ghcr.io/home-assistant-libs/python-matter-server:stable
    restart: unless-stopped
    security_opt:
      - apparmor=unconfined
    volumes:
      - /volume1/docker/matter-server/data:/data:rw
      - /run/dbus:/run/dbus:ro
    network_mode: host

With this and my SynologyIP address I would add the matter integration with:
ws://:5580/ws

Adding the Devices was possible with the iOS companion app as described here:

Matter (BETA)

Maybe it will help someone

Does it still say IPv6 disabled on the docker network host for you? I feel this is the reason even though Matter server is running for me, I can’t add devices successfully via Thread even with a valid Thread boarder router (Apple TV 4K) running

Sorry I have not seen your replay … according to the Container Manager of Synology there is nothing set for IP6 for me
So I guess ist also disabled?
