+# Synology 
+
+These instructions only serve as a start and based on DSM 7.2. The following pages serve as a basis and should be observed:
+- https://docs.umap-project.org/en/master/deploy/docker/
+- https://docs.umap-project.org/en/master/config/settings
+
+## Preparation:
+- create a key that will later be used as SECRET_KEY (= "a long and random secret key that must not be shared"
+  You can easily generate one with openssl at command line with: `openssl rand -base64 32`)
+- Under which web address should uMap be called? It must be assigned to the environment variable SITE_URL and specified in the reverse proxy. In this description https://map.example.com is used
+
+<hr>   
+
+### 1. Paths:   
+Create the following folders in the FileStation (there may also be different paths, but these must also be adjusted in the configuration below):
+`/volume1/docker/umap/POSTGRESQL_DATA`
+`/volume1/docker/umap/STATIC_ROOT`
+`/volume1/docker/umap/MEDIA_ROOT`
+`/volume1/docker/umap/conf`
+
+
+<hr>   
+
+### 2. Config:
+Create the configuration file and save it here (I recommend the DSM text editor from the package centre):
+- /volume1/docker/umap/conf/umap.conf
+<details>
+  <summary>example config (click) - you still need to customise them:</summary>
+  
+```  
+# ➜ https://docs.umap-project.org/en/master/config/settings
+#[general]
+# Site name
+title = "My uMap"
+# Site URL
+site_url = "https://map.example.com/"
+# Site description
+description = "My uMap description"
+# Site logo (optional)
+logo = "/static/umap.png"
+# Site favicon (optional)
+# favicon = "/static/favicon.ico"
+
+# Default language
+language = "de"
+# Default map center

+# Map background

+# Do you want users to be able to create an account directly on your uMap instance (instead of only using OAuth).
+# You need to create first a superuser, on the command line (open Terminal in Container Manager):
+# > umap createsuperuser
+#   umapadmin
+#   umap@map.example.com
+#   YOURPASSWORD
+#
+ENABLE_ACCOUNT_LOGIN=1
+#
+# To log in as the first user, you must set the UMAP_REGISTRATION_OPEN option to True. 
+# This allows you to create a new account that is automatically considered a superuser. 
+# After you have registered, you can set the option to False again to prevent further registrations. 
+# Alternatively, you can also create a superuser account via the Django admin interface.
+UMAP_REGISTRATION_OPEN = True

+### 3. Reverse Proxy = (Direct your uMap domain to your uMap Docker container):
+- '_Control Panel_' ➜ '_Login Portal_' ➜ Tab '_Advanced_' ➜ '_Reverse Proxy_' and adjust like this:
+![reverse_proxy](https://github.com/umap-project/umap/assets/29315520/b48eefb3-2b95-495f-8140-209bf66b1b76)
+
+
+- Open the Firewall for Port 443
+- forward Port 443 in your Router to your DiskStation
+
+
+<hr>   
+
+### 4. Container Manager (formerly package 'Docker'):
+open '_Container Manager_' ➜ go to '_Project_' ➜ '_create_'
+- define a project name
+- select yout project path (/volume1/docker/umap/)
+- select 'Create docker-compose.yaml' and paste this code into (adjust environment variables `SITE_URL`, `SECRET_KEY` and volume mounts [for db & app]):
+
+```   
+version: '3'
+services:
+  db:
+    image: postgis/postgis:14-3.4-alpine
+    environment:
+      - POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust
+    volumes:

+- now 'create' your project

+
+### 5. create superuser:
+Do you want users to be able to create an account directly on your uMap instance (instead of only using OAuth).
+You need to [create first a superuser](https://docs.umap-project.org/en/master/config/settings/#enable_account_login), on the command line (open Terminal in Container Manager):
+```  
+umap createsuperuser
+#   umapadmin
+#   umap@map.example.com
+#   YOURPASSWORD
+```
