On many occasions I found myself in the situation where I had to deploy quickly a web application and demo it a customer or product owner. Deployment these days with cloud services such as Microsoft Azure is really easy but still requires a little bit of time for initial setup (web app and database).

I figure that deploying it to docker container hosted on my office network is much faster solution.

Here is how it's done:

As a reference I'm using my company's domain isready.io - replace it with your own.

1. Setup docker registry container on your Synology

2. Setup SSL Certificate from Let's Encrypt

3. Setup Reverse Proxy

4. Test docker registry endpoint

5. Build docker image and push to the registry

In this example I'm building Blazor Web Assembly App on Windows 10 It might be obvious but make sure Docker Desktop is installed and running.

Build docker image:

docker build -t gp-web -f Dockerfile .

Tag it

docker tag gp-web:latest dockerhub.isready.io/gp-web

Push to docker registry

docker push dockerhub.isready.io/gp-web:latest

Your image should be visible here

https://dockerhub.isready.io/v2/_catalog

6. Configure your private registry in Synology Docker

You should see your image and be able to install it.
