Matter Server

Theoretically this guide should work, but as for now Matter Server is not supported on Docker container! See paragraph below for more details.

• Create folder /volume1/docker/matter

• Execute on shell: ln /var/run/docker.sock /volume1/docker/docker.sock -s

• Container Manager

• Execute on shell: docker pull ghcr.io/home-assistant-libs/python-matter-server:stable

• Create new container matter-server

  • Enable auto-restart

  • Network: host

  • Ports Settings:

    • Set local port for 5580 on container, e.g. 5580

  • Volume Settings:

    • /docker/matter -> /data

    • /docker/docker.sock -> /var/run/docker.

Issues

Host network

Matter Server requires to be run on the host network, otherwise you get the Error 0x02000063 when starting Matter.

IPv6

Matter Server requires IPv6 to work properly, but Synology DSM does not support it on Docker containers! I only managed to get it working for bridge network, using Synology_ContainerManager_IPv6 script.

You will get so the Error 0x02000065 when starting Matter.

Assumptions

• You have installed Container Manager

• The folder /volume1/docker has been created

• You know how to access to the DSM shell
