![node-red](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/b/a/ba80a43ef9981b96dbd76ac518e8e688ac0e7fff.jpeg) Hello,

I use a Docker Container on a Synology NAS DS 218+

I want to secure Node-Red like following [https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/runtime/securing-node-red#editor--admin-api-security](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/runtime/securing-node-red#editor--admin-api-security)

But how can i do it on the Synology-NAS-Docker-APP?

Kind regards

E\_T

If you've mounted the container's /data path to a folder on your NAS (use the Volume tab), you can just access the settings.js file for the container and modify it accordingly. Restart the container after editing settings.js to apply the changes.

The Volume-Tab shows only the status of mounted volumes, for me there is no way to mount a volume! 🙁

The second problem is, i must install node-red-admin in the container like  
npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red-admin

But the terminal-window in docker do not accept the command.

Ok, I have bypassed the problem!

I take this command:  
node -e "console.log(require('bcryptjs').hashSync(process.argv[1], 8));" your-password-here

So now i must mount the volume!

</div>

i made a new user "node-red" and a Group "node-red"

with sudo vi /etc/passwd i changed the user Id from "node-red" to 1000

with sudo vi /etc/group i changed the group Id from "node-red" to 1000

after restart the NAS no user node-red were listet.

Login with user node-red was possible, but no Docker was available.
