- QNAP Container Station exclusively integrates LXD and Docker®, Kata lightweight virtualization technologies, allowing you to operate multiple isolated Linux® systems on a QNAP NAS as well as download apps from the built-in Docker® Hub/LXD Image Server Registry.
LXD supports OS-level virtualization for Linux®-based operating systems, while Docker® and Kata are ideal for application virtualization purposes. While most NAS on the market only supports Docker® containers, QNAP is the only NAS brand that supports LXD, Docker®, and Kata, offering a clear choice for comprehensive virtualization solutions.
Recreate containers with ease
Before: You need to delete and create a new container to change the configuration.
Container Station 3.0: Change configurations online and update in real-time by recreating running or stopped containers.
Save the frequently used container commands for efficiency
Before: You can only repeatedly enter frequently-used commands when making container changes.
Container Station 3.0: Add frequently-used commands to the list and apply them directly.
Upload Image and YAML files from the cloud or local devices
Before: You can only download Images and YAML files from Docker Hub / LXD Server to QNAP NAS.
Container Station 3.0: You can also upload images from your computer or NAS to Container Station.
Multiple network modes
Before: Either NAT or bridge mode is supported for containers to communicate with each other.
Container Station 3.0: Supports multiple network modes and VLAN for flexible deployment.
Customized container information lists
Before: There are only six information items on the container information lists.
Container Station 3.0: Use up to twenty-three information items on the container information lists for flexible display.
Deploy K3s simulation environment with QNAP NAS
According to Gartner, 85% of organizations worldwide will have containerized applications running in their operational environment by 2025. With the increasing popularity of containers and the growing number of deployed applications, QNAP NAS can help you deploy a single-node Kubernetes (K3s) development for testing before moving to the cloud. This service is not only free but also provides more powerful hardware.
Over 100,000 applications are available from the built-in Docker® Hub/LXD/Kata Image Server Registry. Choose from databases, web servers, programming languages, and entire development suites and install them as quickly as apps on a smartphone. Alternatively, use a Linux® container to run multiple applications. All of these possibilities make Container Station ideal to meet the needs of different sectors, developers, and the Linux® community.
In many use cases, a virtual machine is the ideal deployment solution for systems with fixed resources. In recent times, LXD and Docker® have grown to be the perfect choice for administrators to deploy extremely lightweight operating systems. Meanwhile, Kata is ideal for both businesses and personal users for enhanced security. With an increasing level of sophistication and choice, tailoring your virtualization strategy to fit your needs just got a lot easier.

I was on the fence on moving on from my qnap ts351 but this video kept me onboard. Excellent stuff.
Thanks Craig, a useful addition that highlights the free software upgrades us QNAP users receive.
Glad it was helpful!
Craig with a nice soothing voice is back.
🤣
Any chance we could get a guide for setting up Radarr or Sonarr using the new Container Station?
thanks. Finally right answer that I was looking for
Nice video Craig, could you do a Minecraft server in Container Station next, my kids would love this :-)
Due changed memoryPageSize from 4kb to 32kb standard lastest Alpine images for arm32v7 didn't work... And stopping with code 139
I just tried this PiHole install and it broken container station and it now won't load. It had to restart the NAS too even login to it but it just disappears off the network and I have to restart again. It's completely bricked
Do I understand correctly, that unwind cannot be used with this type of pi-hole installation?
Hey, been using this but not sure how to update my pihole? Any videos for that?
Looks like 3.0 is now mainstream and not beta anymore :)
Unfortunately, it turns out that the Pihole uses a virtual switch, I wanted to connect my Mac mini to the second port of my TS464 with a USB 2.5 GB adapter, but that is not possible now. What is also striking is that you unfortunately cannot switch from DHCP to static on a TV streamer and therefore cannot use your Pi hole as DNS (Formular z10).
How can a custom file mapped into the container or a volume added to a container? The "Volumes" menu item has been skipped totally in this tutorial!
Hi, a week a go my Qnap Tvs-h674 died, It almost fire up, a few parts started smoking, I did file the ticket and now it is at the Qnap service center in California trying to figure it out what happened, unfortunately this nas was almost new, I did bought it on last November 2022, and is being used for only 10 hours at day, hopefully it will be a defective motherboard or capacitors.
Very unusual, been at QNAP in 10 years and never heard of this, even had a customer with a rack unit plugged into an unprotected mains power socket when a lightning strike hit the building... replaced the PSU and it worked great for another 3 years until they upgraded to something faster.
@QNAPUK Now I am just waiting for the diagnostic, we will see soon what it was hopefully!
Thanks for the video, Would you mind release a video tutorial or share a direction where to find about how to get direct access to the volumes attached to the containers (currently permission is not be able to change, not be able to access from windows machine). Trying to run a server, but it's hard to get access to change the server files. Cheers!
I dont see the new Version still only seeing 2.6 do I need to enable beta somewhere? does the new version enable automatic updates to latest version ? great videos thank you.
Which NAS do you have?
Hi Craig, Can you do a video on how to update a container to the latest version? For example when there is a pihole update. thanks
You cannot really do it with this implementation, it's basically install a new container so it has the latest version. Just make sure to kill the first container running Pi-Hole so you can use the same IP for the new one.
This is a severe limitation of the QNAP and needs to be addressed.
u just need to configure a shared Folder, so your settings and logs dont get lost, when recreating the Container in the newer Version
I can't install no apps.
( The current system page size is 32K. )
can i get this work for IPv6 too? This Video only helps for IPv4
I'm a VM and Container newbie. I'm curious about Ubuntu Linux Station. If this installs Linux as a Virtual Machine, why does it require Container Station ?
Ubuntu Linux Station is an Ubuntu Linux operating system installation tool for your QNAP device. Integrated with Linux containers, it helps you to easily download and install lightweight fully-virtualised Linux OS images.
If you look in the log terminal there is a string that says "Assigning random password:" It does give you a password to login.
also you can add WEBPASSWORD under environment before implementation the pihole container
Thanks , i want to know if Tpot can be installed on container station as well
If there is a Docker container for it then you should be able to, I believe TPOT is advised to be used with a GPU if you can... so if you have a PCIe GPU that is compatible with the NAS, you can pass it through to the Container to have it work better.
How do you sign up for beta access? Or, when will this be pushed as a full release?
It's already out - has been for a while (this version must have been created a while ago because even the version has been superceded).
For anyone else who comes across this, my systems were just not on the latest firmware due to my update settings being conservative. Once they updated, this was forced to update to version 3
There seems still no IPv6 support on Docker on QNAP while it's meanwhile a very basic and important task because all smartphones and also Windows and MacOS ( and Linus clearly, too) tries to use IPv6 as default access method .
Especially when providers like Vodafohe are throwing out customers from getting IP4 addresses letting only a CG-NAT as dirty fakkvack option...
How to update containers quickly and easily when new versions are released please
You cannot update them with this implementation, you could try running a Linux VM in Virtualisation Station instead and run Pi-Hole on that if you wanted to update it more often. But it will consume more resources doing that compared to a container.
@QNAPUK How can I add the volumes to store the data between container upgrades
volumes:
- './etc-pihole:/etc/pihole'
- './etc-dnsmasq.d:/etc/dnsmasq.d'
I this in the section storage/storage mapping? Otherwise the docker implementation in container station is useless!
@@QNAPUKor you can setupbsn Ubunto or Debia LXD Vontainercsetting up pihole with similar small overhead/ used ressources...
There are several howtos in the wild for it...
you just need to configure a shared Folder, so your Settings an logs dont get lost, when u recreate the new Image.
Can you do a plex video with container station please
It's a shame that you can't use the pihole -up command 😞
Nature of a container unfortunately. You can always install a copy of Linux in Virtualisation Station instead if you wish and then add Pi-Hole to that. But it will consume more resources from the NAS than a container would.
@@QNAPUK Thank you 🙂
BE AWRE OF RISK OF BRICKING your NAS by this guide! I followed the instructions and almost got my NAS bricked! The moment I created the pi-hole container, I lost connection to my NAS -- web console and file server, basically the IP of my NAS is unreachable. I spent hours to figure out why: when you create the container using bridge network, QNAP will automatically create a Virtual Switch attached to you ethernet interface/adapter. And if your firewall has strict policy to only allow connection from the ethernet adapter, that rule will ridiculously become nonfunctional, making your NAS inaccessible from your LAN. I had to to connect a monitor to the NAS to be able to rescue it. All I can say is QNAP makes really sh*tty software!
Tried to install Pihole as per this video guide and my NAS too, I am having problems.
The container where Pihole is installed froze, I am unable to delete it so I tried to stop container station and now is in a permanent state of stopping.
The NAS is stuck with the rebooting, please wait window as I am hoping a reboot will help so I can remove container station.
Had to force shut down the NAS, pulled out all drives, rebooted just fine, shut down properly this time, installed drives again and now it is stuck on the loading screen. If I try and refresh the page, it shows the timed out page.
I wish I hadn’t tried to install PiHole now.
Is there an issue with one of the drives now or just the drive that the container/ PiHole is on?
Any help/advice to get it back up and running would be greatly appreciated.
