Purpose: Use Synology Container Manager with Docker Compose projects, persistent volumes, ports, permissions, updates, backups and safe application deployment.
Direct answer: Container Manager can build, start, stop, restart, clean and redeploy projects from Compose definitions. That makes the project file a useful source of truth for repeatable self-hosting on DSM.

Synology NAS product groups are NAS-only. Accessories are excluded. Use the canonical page for the latest or last-verified retained marketplace price and image evidence. Do not infer a live price from this file.
