Just got Verge wallet running on a Synology in a docker instance!
Until the instructions are in the repo, you can use these instructions:
To run on a Synology:
1. Create a folder that will have the verge wallet configuration. Open up 'Filestation', select 'home', then 'create folder'. I'll use 'verge'.
2. This folder should be visible to your computer, because you will need to create a configuration file in this folder. Follow the instructions at:
https://github.com/vergecurrency/VERGE for more info. Be sure to create the VERGE.conf in a folder called ".VERGE". I have "home" mounted to my mac, so I see it as '/Volumes/home/verge/.VERGE/VERGE.conf'. Be sure to *NOT*
set 'daemon=1', if so the container will keep stopping.
3. Start docker. Click 'main menu', then 'Docker'. (If you do not see that option, you will have install the package.)
4. Click on 'Image', then 'Add', 'from URL', and enter
'https://hub.docker.com/r/mkinney/verge/' (edit use the official images '
https://hub.docker.com/r/vergecurrency/verge/' )
5. Wait for it to download.
6. Click on the image in the list, then click 'Launch', feel free to change the 'Container Name' or ports (but the defaults should be fine).
7. Accept (or change if you want) the Step 2 options (resource limitation, shortcut on desktop, enable auto-restart). I
think it makes sense to check "shortcut" and "auto restart".
8. Summary (click the 'Advanced settings' button - this is easy to miss!)
9. Under 'Volume', click 'add folder' and select a folder (I'm using '/homes/mkinney/verge'). For the 'Mount path', enter '/coin/home'
10. Start up the container. You should see files in the .VERGE directory.
Good luck!
