Synology's "Package Center" can be used to install Docker.
Installing Uptime Kuma is a simple process, as it only requires a few steps to be completed:

1. Task Scheduler
2. SSH
3. Docker compose
4. Portainer

Task Scheduler

Open the Docker folder from File Station. Make a new folder called Uptime-kuma within the docker folder. Follow the steps outlined in the diagrams below.

Go to Task Scheduler / Create / Scheduled Task / User-defined script in the Control Panel. Follow the steps outlined in the diagrams below.

A new window will popup once you click on User-defined script. Follow the steps below to get started:

Trought SSH

Please see the post on how to access ssh if you want to use it instead of the graphical way.

• How to connect to your Synology via ssh
• After you've successfully gained access using ssh,
• Create the Uptime-kuma folder in the location where you organize your containers, in my case:

mkdir -p /volume1/docker/uptime-kuma/

After you've created your folder and subfolders, execute the docker command:

sudo docker run -d --restart=always -p 3001:3001 -v /volume1/docker/uptime-kuma:/app/data --name uptime-kuma louislam/uptime-kuma:1

Go to http://YOURSERVERIP:3001 to view the web interface.

Trought Docker compose

• Prerequisites?

Check to see if Docker Engine and Docker Compose have already been installed. 

After that, create a new file named docker-compose.yml in the same directory as /volume1/docker/uptime-kuma and paste the code below into it.

version: '3.3'
services:
    uptime-kuma:
        restart: always
        ports:
            - '3001:3001'
        volumes:
            - '/volume1/docker/uptime-kuma:/app/data'
        container_name: uptime-kuma
        image: 'louislam/uptime-kuma:1'
        hostname: uptime-kuma # Instead of numbers, the hostname will be Uptime-kuma. (optional)
        network_mode: bridge # If you wish to use bridge mode, follow these simple step. (optional)

• run the following command using the docker compose command:

test@NAS:/volume1/docker/uptime-kuma$ sudo docker-compose up -d
Creating uptime-kuma... done

This command will download and install all of the necessary dependencies for Uptime Kuma.

After the installation has finished, you can verify that it was successful by running: 

sudo docker ps -a

Trought Portainer

I prefer to use the Stack option to organize my Docker composes. This allows me to store, edit, and manage all of my Docker composes with Portainer.

• Note: If you've never heard of Portainer or are unfamiliar with it, this post how to install Portainer, will walk you through installing it and managing all of your Docker containers. with the use of a graphical dashboard

1. After you installed Portainer, Go to your Portainer interface http://YOURSERVERIP:9000
2. Enter the username and password for your credential.
3. Click the Stacks option on the left side of your screen.
4. Click the +Add stack button, then paste the docker compose we used for docker-compose.yml then clic hit Deploy the stack button, follow the steps outlined in the diagrams below.

Note: The name of the stack must consist of lower case alphanumeric characters, '_' or '-' (e.g. 'my-name', or 'abc-123').
