I think the Matter installation should be OK:

Any hints that can help me?

Matterbridge is not the matter addon for HA, it's something else.

Here is my docker compose to use the actual HA matter addon as a standalone container.
How to do it on synology I leave to your sagacity.

services:
  matterjs-server:
    container_name: matterjs-server
    user: "0:0"
    image: ghcr.io/matter-js/matterjs-server:latest
    network_mode: host
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - "./matter-data:/data"
      # Required for Bluetooth via D-Bus
      - /run/dbus:/run/dbus:ro
    command: --log-level info --storage-path /data --paa-root-cert-dir /data/credentials --bluetooth-adapter 0 --primary-interface eth0 --port 5580

According to this video it should be possible.
It has succeeded me to add devices from my HA to Matterbridge but that not what I want, I want to add matter device to HA.
As far as I can see now, I need Add-on but do not have that on my synology so I have so I have to install the necessary add-on otherwise.

"this video" is provided where?

Did found this:
mkdir data
docker run -d
--name matter-server
--restart=unless-stopped
--security-opt apparmor=unconfined
-v $(pwd)/data:/data
-v /run/dbus:/run/dbus:ro
--network=host

Made a "Task Scheduler"

Ran it and now I came further, now I can scan the QR-code from the device.
BUT
got a new error message:
Tread‑limit router needed.

Whats now?

It's thread border router, I guess.
Matter is just a software protocol. It runs over a lowel-level network transport protocol called Thread, or it can use plain Wifi.
Having a thread border router (abbreviated to TBR, or OTBR for the implementation used by HA) is mandatory for Thread devices, like the Ikea ones, but not for other devices that use Matter-over-wifi.

Now:

  1. Your docker run command does not show the actual container you try to run. I assume it is ghcr.io/home-assistant-libs/python-matter-server:stable
  2. As explained above, not having a TBR shouldn't prevent the matter server to start. If it is just a warning, and the matter server is actually running, and you don't actually want to use thread, you can ignore it.
