This screen allows us to select where the UniFi Network Controller will be set up on our Synology NAS. Using this dialog, select the folder we created earlier in this guide (1.).Once you have selected the right folder, click the “Select” button (2.).12. Now, we want to change the mode from “upload” to “create“. To do this, click the select box on this screen (1.).Out of the two options, you will want to select the “Create docker-compose.yml” option (2.).13. We can now fill out the Docker Compose file (1.) that will install the UniFi network controller on the Synology NAS.While typing out these lines, you replace “" with a TZ identifier for where you live. For example, we live in Hobart, Australia, so we used “Australia/Hobart“.Once you have filled out this information, click the “Next” button (2.).14. We don’t intend on using the web portal, so click the “Next” button to proceed.15. To finish setting up the UniFi network controller and start it on your Synology, click the “Done” button.16.
