Servarr stack for a Synology NAS, using VPN

.env.example

# create a file named .env replacing this with your own vars
# NOTE: Install Container Manager from Synology Package Center, otherwise the system won't give user access to docker
# Container Manager App will create the shared folder /volume1/docker/

# --- Synology Host Paths ---
CONFIG_BASE_PATH=/volume1/docker/servarr # Create this folder and upload .env and docker-compose.yaml
DOWNLOADS_PATH=${CONFIG_BASE_PATH}/downloads/qbittorrent

# You MUST create this Shared Folder in Synology DSM Control Panel >> Shared Folder
# Then give read/write access to your user and user group
MOVIES_PATH=/volume1/Movies
TV_PATH=/volume1/TV

# --- Common Container Configuration ---
DEFAULT_PUID=1026
DEFAULT_PGID=100
DEFAULT_TZ=Europe/Amsterdam
DEFAULT_UMASK=002

# --- VPN Credentials ---
OPENVPN_USER=your_vpn_username
