Three large-scale campaigns have targeted Docker Hub users, planting millions of repositories designed to push malware and phishing sites since early 2021.
I haven’t used Synology, so I’m not sure. So I’ll just explain a bit how Docker works, which will hopefully give some context.
Terminology:
image - the stuff hosted on https://hub.docker.com - basically the application and any dependencies it has
container - a disposable runtime for an image; stores new files separately from the image
By default, the container doesn’t have access to anything that’s not explicitly passed to it, kind of like a VM, but without the expensive overhead a VM has.
So the issues could be:
the image is incompatible with the host - pretty rare, but it happens
the container isn’t started
the container doesn’t have what it needs - maybe you need to expose a network port, or pass it a file
the Synology application isn’t configured to use the container
Synology has two types of Docker, “Docker” and “Container Manager”. If you’re using DSM 7.2 and later, please follow the guide for DSM 7.2, or follow the DSM 6 guide if you’re on older system.
Synology DSM 7.2
Synology DSM 6
If you are using Synology with Portainer, please check this tutorial.
If I had a Synology system to test with, I’d look into it for you, but that’s the best I’ve got. I run my own DIY NAS (old PC running openSUSE Leap w/ BTRFS, Samba, and minidlna configured).
The other user on this thread pointed out, as you have, that they’ve updated the guide to include DSM 7s Container Manager, which is what I was originally trying it on to begin with. So, thanks to both of you, I now have a project to do this weekend to test out the updated guides! :)

For Synology and RustDesk specifically, I found this in the instructions:
