How to Install Friendica on Your Synology NAS

Trustworthy expert guide to your Synology NAS.

Hi y’all.

I’ve been trying to install #Friendica using the info provided by Marius on his website. At the moment I’m running my Friendica instance on Yunohost, but I’d like to move it to a different machine.

So far, I have tried the script on a DS920+, a Pi 4 and a Dell running Docker in a Proxmox Debian VM. On all three machines, the installation finishes just fine, but I get the very same error messages from the database container:

`2025-02-26 20:58:38 3 [Warning] Aborted connection 3 to db: ‘unconnected’ user: ‘unauthenticated’ host: ‘172.19.0.4’ (This connection closed normally without authentication)

2025-02-26 20:59:07 7 [Warning] Aborted connection 7 to db: ‘unconnected’ user: ‘unauthenticated’ host: ‘172.19.0.5’ (This connection closed normally without authentication)`

This keeps the Cron container from starting and Friendica itself from writing anything to the database.

What am I missing? I already contacted Marius about this, but he replied stating that my NAS was missing AVX support. Well, this may be true for the DS920+, but shouldn’t the script work on a standard Intel machine?

I’m not sure whether this is a #Portainer or a #MariaDB issue.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

    The credentials are already being set in the stack:

    MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: rootpass MYSQL_DATABASE: friendica MYSQL_USER: friendicauser MYSQL_PASSWORD: friendicapass

    At first, I changed them to make the setup more secure, but got the same error. Just to make sure that there weren’t any typos or pasted blanks, I went with the original values.
