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.
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?
