Today ecoDMS GmbH has published an optimised ecoDMS container image for the installation of the ecoDMS server on QNAP and Synology NAS. The image has user-friendly functions for backing up and restoring data.

The updated documentation describes the installation including update, setup, backup and restoration of the ecoDMS containers. They are available in the download area for manuals on the ecoDMS website. In case an ecoDMS container is already installed, we recommend an "update" to the latest version.

The ecoDMS server can be installed on NAS from QNAP and Synology since version 14.08 (krusty) update 12-1. ecoDMS supports those device types which allow container virtualization via "Docker". Not all models of the Synology and QNAP ranges support Docker. If the latest version of the Synology or QNAP software is installed on an NAS, and Docker is not available, the model is not compatible with ecoDMS.

When using Synology, Docker can be installed via the "Synology package centre". The "QNAP ContainerStation" integrates the virtualization technologies LXC (Linux Container) and Docker. ecoDMS provides dedicated images for "QNAP and Synology" to install the ecoDMS server on the "NAS system".

For the installation it is important to consider the official system requirements. Also users are advised to read the steps and notes on the ecoDMS server installation on an NAS device in the respective manual.
