This is why my script is called: "Install docker on arm64 synology" :D

Yeah, I know, I was referring to:

I'm not sure if this will work, but you should try armel or armhf

Just as your information it seems that it is not working just downloading the armhf version, it seems that an extra patch it is needed.

@killkrt Did this resolve? I have an DS214+ and thus an armv7l processor. How did you get it to work with armv7l or where did you find help. Thanks in advance!

@thunermay sorry I cannot recall it, actually I was supporting a friend, so it was not for my NAS. BTW it was quite tricky and it was not fully working, some features were missing (if I am not wrong macvlan and others).

My DS418's umask seems to default to 0077, so I needed to make the following change to use docker compose:
