Synology - Manually Update Docker Containers

Last updated on November 11, 2021

Below is how I manually update my Synology Docker containers.

I have described here how to update a container using Portainer. It is also possible to perform the update via the CLI.

First make a backup of the data of a container (optional)

Go to Register and download the new image
Stop the old container and rename via Edit for example by adding .save after the name
Select the old container and go to Settings > Duplicate Settings
Give the name of the old container as the name (i.e. without .save) and click Apply
Start the new container

An old .save container can keep port numbers in use. This can be solved by removing the port mappings from the old container and then set the port mappings from the new container appropriately

The containers with .save in the name can be deleted at a later time if the new container works fine
