Web Browser

[Roberto277z]

Hello,

I'm searching a web browser for synology but this don't exist.
Do you know if i can install a web browser on Docker ?

Thank you

Why? Browsers are huge malware magnets. I do not recommend.

 

[Roberto277z]

I need to access other software (e.g. my management switch) on different private IPs.
They are only accessible in web browser

Suit yourself
Firefox docker container

I agree with Telos on this. It can be done, but it is nor recommended:

Docker

Or try:

Docker

If its a browser in container accessed by a browser... what's wrong with running it like that, especialy if it's only to configure appliances in a private network?

The container does not require the the --privleged flag, as such it should be safe to use. Worst case it fills the host side of the /config volume-mapping full with junk.

I have Firefox inside a docker that I disable when I don't need it.

I understand your request, my use case is to browse local network and Internet from my local IP while I am away from home. I can't forward ports because of ISP NAT and the only option to reach my NAS is Synology Quickconnect, but it allows to use only Synology packages.

In this situation I used docker image based on Ubuntu with XFCE Desktop Environment with Chrome Remote Desktop (it uses outbound connections and doesn't requere port forwarding) to connect to it and use Firefox browser inside the container.
