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.
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?
Too dumb to set up nextcloud, first I bought a WD NAS which I kinda stopped using because of slow transfer speeds and a hacking attack that put the service down for days. Currently using three physical HD (two at home and one in my locker at work) all with the same copy of a Veracrypt container. Never been happier tbh.
got me a 14 TB WD Easystore off eBay for $250 a few months ago.
