How to Install FilePizza on Your Synology NAS with Docker

Last updated on May 9th, 2023 at 08:25 pm

Using WebRTC, FilePizza eliminates the initial upload step required by other web-based file sharing services. When senders initialize a transfer, they receive a “tempalink” they can distribute to recipients. Upon visiting this link, recipients’ browsers connect directly to the sender’s browser and may begin downloading the selected file. Because data is never stored in an intermediary server, the transfer is fast, private, and secure.

Skip to Docker Run Code / Skip to Compose & Portainer Code

Install Docker

Before we start, please ensure you have Docker installed. This can be installed through the Synology Package Center.

Create the Docker Folder

We now need to create the Docker folder. Head into File Station and open the Docker folder. Select Create, choose Create folder and name it filepizza. (see demonstration)

Create the Scheduled Task

We will now head into Control Panel > Task Scheduler > Create > Scheduled Task and click User-defined script. (see demonstration)

Configure the Scheduled Task

In the window that appears, insert the following:

In the General tab, In the Task field, enter FilePizza. From the User list, select root. Uncheck the Enabled option.

In the Schedule tab, Select Run on the following date (make sure It’s today’s date). Now select Do not repeat.

In the Task Settings tab, under Notification, You can choose to turn this on, otherwise skip this. Now copy-paste the following code into the Run command area. Now click OK.

docker run -d --name filepizza \

When the below warning appears, press OK.

Run the Scheduled Task

You will now see your list of tasks. Select FilePizza, now press Run.

When asked to run, press Yes.

FilePizza is now installed

The installation process has now finished. Give it a few seconds to appear in your Docker list.

Access FilePizza

Open your browser and enter the link to your new container http://synologyip:3333.

Important: FilePizza needs to be run over HTTPS, so you will have to reverse proxy with a certificate for this to fully work.

Docker Compose and Portainer

If you would prefer to install with Docker Compose or Portainer, use the following code. You can also view a demonstration here.

version: '3.3'
services:
    filepizza:
        container_name: filepizza
        ports:
            - '3333:3333'
        environment:
            - PORT=3333
        volumes:
            - '/volume1/docker/filepizza:/config'
