Nice one! Can I update, too, by adding a planned task and throw in a docker update command?

Yes, you can update Portainer docker container on a Synology DS918+ by adding a planned task and throwing in a docker update command. Here are the steps:

1. Open the Task Scheduler app on your Synology NAS.

2. Click on the "Create" button to create a new task.

3. Give the task a name, such as "Update Portainer".

4. Under the "General" tab, select the user that will run the task.

5. Under the "Schedule" tab, set the desired schedule for the task.

6. Under the "Task Settings" tab, select "User-defined script" from the "Run Command" dropdown menu.

7. In the script editor, enter the following command (replace "portainer" with the name of your Portainer container):

    docker stop portainer
    docker rm portainer
    docker pull portainer/portainer-ce
    docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --restart always --name portainer portainer/portainer-ce

8. Click "OK" to save the task.

This task will stop the existing Portainer container, remove it, pull the latest version of Portainer, and then start a new container with the latest version. Please note that by removing the old container, any configurations that you made to it will be lost. So, it is always a good idea to take a backup of your Portainer configuration files before running this task.
