Install Ruin Media on Synology NAS: Creatively 'Destroy' Image and Audio Files with Docker 🤪
Learn how to install Ruin Media, a web app for creatively degrading image and audio file quality, on your Synology NAS via Docker and Portainer, which processes client-side and stores no data on the server.
📌 Key Highlights:
- Ruin Media is a web application designed to intentionally degrade the quality of image and audio files.
- All processing occurs Client-Side (on the user's browser), meaning no files are stored on your NAS server.
- It can be easily installed on a Synology NAS via Docker, managed with Portainer.
Let's try something fun! Today, we introduce Ruin Media, a humorous web app running on Docker, whose sole purpose is to intentionally 'destroy' the quality of your image and audio files to create unique effects or for amusement.
A key feature of Ruin Media is that it's a PHP web app designed for all processing to occur on the user's side (Client-Side). This means when you upload a file, it is handled directly by your web browser, and the file is neither sent nor stored on your Synology NAS at all. This ensures privacy and saves storage space.
🔧 Installation Steps via Portainer
For those who already have Docker and Portainer installed on their Synology NAS, simply follow these easy steps:
1. Log in to Portainer and go to the Stacks menu.
2. Click the + Add stack button.
3. Set the Name field to `ruinmedia`.
4. In the Web editor section, copy and paste the Docker Compose code below:
services:
ruinmedia:
image: korosys/ruin.media:latest
container_name: Ruin-Media
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD-SHELL", "nc -z 127.0.0.1 80 || exit 1"]
interval: 10s
timeout: 5s
retries: 3
start_period: 90s
ports:
- 6082:80
restart: on-failure:5
5. Scroll to the bottom and click the Deploy the stack button.
🚀 How to Use
After installation is complete, wait for the container to start. You can immediately access Ruin Media via your web browser by typing: http://IP-Synology-NAS:6082
Once accessed, you will find a simple program interface. Simply click Choose file to select the desired image or audio file, then choose the level of 'ruination' between STANDARD or RUINATION, and finally click the RUIN ME! button to start the process. Afterward, wait to receive your creatively altered file.
