Synology doesn't always pick up the `$USER` correctly, you can test it if the right user is been used with the following command
```bash
ls -al /volume1/docker
```
and user should be the same user you used for your PUID !
If it isn't the same then you need to replace `$USER` with the user what you used for your PUID, in the following example I used admin like we did in the start of the guide.
