I got a Synology NAS recently and it’s super nice…has a photo app, can be used as a VPN, you can even run docker images on it and run things like Pi Hole, etc. Really nice to have.
I also run all of those things, plus the Plex server.
It’s like a magic little box you keep finding new tricks for.
I also upgraded its ram, use port trunking (both network connections) and put some cache SSD sticks in it. Not because I needed to, but because you can!
Neat! Do all of their devices work that way or just the more expensive ones?
I have a relatively “old” model, DS418. Docker is prolly the only thing it is marginal on, depending on what you’re running there exactly.
And you can set up a folder where you just paste torrents and it takes care of downloading your favourite OS or other interesting file.
you can even run docker images on it
Depending on the model ;)
You can still install “unsupported” on the ones that don’t support it officially: https://archive.synology.com/download/Package/Docker/20.10.3-1233
That being said it is indeed marginal on mine…CPU usage is often quite high.
So you say this will run on my good old DS216j?
