DiskStation DS218+

I still have My DS218+. I'm using it for PC backups, Plex and Channels DVR also. I'm probably going to retire it at the end of this year. I was just thinking about going with a Mini-PC and a few external drives as I don't really use any of the Synology apps.

What I hated about Synology is for me to leverage anything outside of computer. Let's say file management from my iphone to the NAS, it was a huge pain the but. All the applications just straight up suck, but UGOS is a one app solution which many many people love. It doesn't have the security/backup

My case scenario was different tho. I am CGNATED yes, but I do have an IPv6 ready connection, aside from that, my tailnet was never flagged as DERP, I think the main culprit was the encryption protocol that TS enforces, and that it does run in userspace in my two TS exit nodes (a Synology NAS DS218+

So, the DS218+ is maxed out on RAM, I can't get any more, and I actually bought a ThinkCentre PC with an i5 and 64GB of RAM to have more Docker storage. But the problem is the same: sharing volumes between the PCs and the Synology server. Especially if it's not running 24/7.

Well, I can find Container Manager (Synology's new name for Docker) for the DS218+ but not for the DS418play. I do not understand why since they both use the same processor (Intel Celeron J335522). Saw somewhere Docker needs a 64bit processor and thats why its not offered on some Synology models but

Interesting, I was thinking about setting up the server on Synology DS218+, but last time when I've tried with minecraft (in docker) - it was horribly slow. So I'm a bit hesistant. What NAS do you have?

From what I can find, the Terramaster D4-320 is NOT a NAS but an extension, rather something you add to your existing NAS or computer to increase its storage capacity. So you might want to check that again. As for the DS218+, take a look at the NAS Compatibility Sheet, it says that it can do up to b
