+The docker version installed on Synology DSM 6/6.1 is older than the one supported by Watchtower. Until Synology updates docker or Watchtower lowers the compatibility requirements, here are the steps to get it to work with an older version of Watchtower.
+
+Steps:
+1. Symlink /var/run/docker.sock to /volume1/docker/docker.sock: `sudo ln -s /var/run/docker.sock /volume1/docker/docker.sock`
+
+2. docker run command: `sudo docker run -d --name watchtower -v /volume1/docker/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock centurylink/watchtower --interval 82800 --cleanup`
+
+Note: The symlink to docker.sock is important (vs pointing to /var/run/docker.sock directly) to make it to able restart from the Synology GUI.
