virtual-dsm

A docker container for running Synology's Virtual DSM.

Docker Hub: kroese/virtual-dsm

Prerequisites

In order to use the container, you need two images called boot.img and sys.img from Synology containing the Virtual DSM 7 OS.

Place them in the /home/user/images folder. A third empty image, called data.img will be automaticly generated with a size of 16GB. If you need more space for your DSM instance, you can manually generate a larger file by running truncate -s 100G data.img from your host OS.

Using the container

$ docker run --rm -it \
    --device=/dev/kvm:/dev/kvm \
    --device=/dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun \
    --cap-add NET_ADMIN \
    -p 5000:5000 -p 5001:5001 \
