# first, install docker if it's not already w/ Synology Package Center, ensure SSH is enabled.
# it probably installed to /volume1/ but make sure.  if it didn't, note the path.


# ssh in as user you want to run docker as and get the id/gid.  should be a user that has R/W
# to the download location.  don't run this as root (duh)
