Map the ports

Open the Network tab and map the Container Port 8080 to the Host Port 1280 and the 22 to 1222:

LogicalDOC ports

Map the volumes

We suggest creating a dedicated folder called logicaldoc somewhere in your NAS and then the subfolders logicaldoc/conf and logicaldoc/repository

Then open the Shared Folders tab and map those folders to the LogicalDOC's volumes /LogicalDOC/conf and /LogicalDOC/repository:

LogicalDOC volumes

The volume /LogicalDOC/conf is where LogicalDOC saves the main configuration files, while the /LogicalDOC/repository is where your documents files are stored.

Check the running container

At the end, you should see the logicaldoc container up and running in the Container area:

LogicalDOC container running

At this point you should be able to enter LogicalDOC at http://IP_OF_YOUR_QNAP:1280  with admin as username and password
