+## Installation of home-assistant on Synology
+
+Follow https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/alternative/:
+
+The steps would be:
+
+Install “Docker” package on your Synology NAS
+Launch Docker-app and move to “Registry”-section
+Find “homeassistant/home-assistant” within registry and click on “Download”. Choose the “stable” tag.
+Wait for some time until your NAS has pulled the image
+Move to the “Image”-section of the Docker-app
+Click on “Launch”
+Choose a container-name you want (e.g., “homeassistant”)
+Click on “Advanced Settings”
+Set “Enable auto-restart” if you like
+Within “Volume” click on “Add Folder” and choose either an existing folder or add a new folder. The “mount path” has to be “/config”, so that Home Assistant will use it for the configs and logs. It is therefore recommended that the folder you choose should be named “config” or “homeassistant/config” to avoid confusion when referencing it within service calls.
+Within “Network” select “Use same network as Docker Host”
+To ensure that Home Assistant displays the correct timezone go to the “Environment” tab and click the plus sign then add variable = TZ & value = Europe/London choosing your correct timezone
+Confirm the “Advanced Settings”
+Click on “Next” and then “Apply”
+Your Home Assistant within Docker should now run and will serve the web interface from port 8123 on your Docker host (this will be your Synology NAS IP address - for example http://10.0.0.142:8123)
+
+
+## Install git on Synology via SynoCommunity (https://synocommunity.com/)

+Install the SynoCommunity package source
+Install ‘git’ using the package manager

+Synology.
