Deploying sftpGO on Synology NAS
Hi! Thank you for your project and what you are doing for us!!
I have a problem setting up sftpgo in a Docker container on Synology. When installing the container, the Poker application asks for a path, I specify a local folder on the server, but I don't see the path on WebAdmin. by default, it is different. How do I specify the path to the local folder on the server?
Thanks!

Hi,

I don't have access to a synology NAS to test myself so my answers could be inaccurate.

Some notes:

1. SFTPGo will create the folder once you login and not when you create the user, so try to login and see if the folder is created
2. I suggest to map the container folder /srv/sftpgo to a local folder. SFTPGo will run by default using 1000 as UID/GID, please make sure that this UID can write to the mapped folder otherwise you will get a permission denied error in your logs. You can also try to run as a different user but I don't know how to configure this using the NAS UI

Maybe this could help

Let me know if you can find a solution, alternatively I can try it myself if I have a remote connection to a synology NAS

This was just a permission issue. SFTPGo runs as UID 1000 and you must allow to this UID to write to the mounted volumes by setting the appropriate permissions using the Synology UI
