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

I have a DS418 and this script worked, in that the components were installed as expected and docker could be started and stopped.

However, these lines:

mean that containers are isolated from the outside world.

If you remove "bridge" and "iptables" from docker.json, then you get error message about "can't initialize iptables table 'nat'" at docker startup. I resolved these by running "modprobe nf_nat_ipv4 iptable_nat" before starting docker. After that, containers are able to make external connections via the bridge network.

Perhaps you could add that to your startup script.
