DS220+ for Immich: Is It Enough?

I have a DS720+ which also ships with 2 GB of RAM. I added a 16 GB module, so now it has 18 GB total, which is more than enough for everything I run. According to monitoring, Immich uses around 2 GB at idle and up to 8 GB while indexing a new library. I run all ML tasks on my MacBook because process

First NAS / Home Network

Recommend you buy a premade NAS on your first one for a couple reasons. First less effort on your part software wise. Second they aren’t much more than DIY. So generally speaking Synology has a great reputation and is popular. I have the DS720+ with two 1 TB SSDs as cache, maxxed out RAM, and two 4

Looking for NAS recommendation – Jellyfin, fast UI, and future projects

QNAP makes pretty solid tech. As does UGREEN. Synology not as much these days but still I have a DS720+ and it’s pretty good with all the dockers I’ve got running on it. Basically what I’m saying is that instead of what brand you should be looking at specs and where your latency might be: is it beca

Buying my first Home NAS

This is before Beestation. I bought a DS180j for JUST photo storage. It worked but I quickly outgrew the “food server only” use and wanted the “+” features so went to a DS720+. At that time ARM based Docker containers weren’t common. If I did it all over again I’d look really hard at a PI and an ext

Hardware Advice Needed

IMHO, upgrade the DS720+ to 6T or 8T drives (if you are SH1 now, just pop a drive for a bigger one and rebuild, wait for that to complete, then pop the other and rinse and repeat, then expand storage). I would leave Plex on the DS720+ as its closer to the media and runs native on the DS720 and not i

Those of you that bought a mini PC to "upgrade" the horsepower of an aging NAS: are you happy with your mini PC? Now that the dust has settled, what, if anything, would you do differently?

I ran into the same issue, twice. First bought an ARM Synology strictly as a file server. Well even using their photo software I outgrew it in about a year. Went to a DS720+. It did most stuff if I didn’t abuse it. Kept the old one strictly for backups. But wanted better routing AND more Docker appl

Ayuda urgente con un NAS

Puedes usar Quickconnect, tailscale o contratar una IP pública (De preferencia fija)... Hasta donde sé, el único ISP que te da IP pública (dinámica), de forma gratuita a partir de ciertos paquetes, es Telmex. Tengo varios años con NAS synology y es lo que me ha funcionado (Tengo dos DS720+, uno loca

From “using a friend’s server” to my own: need guidance with first Plex setup (Synology DS225+)

As u/dclive1 mentioned, I would highly highly highly recommend Trash Guides for Synology:https://trash-guides.info/File-and-Folder-Structure/How-to-set-up/Synology/ You will be introduced to the world of *arr stacks. Takes a bit to understand and configure it initially, but in the long term, makes y

Windows vs Linux for Server?

I got into plex because it came with my synology server. I have the synology to keep all my personal media and the apps it comes with are very well polished, it all ‘just works’. The DS720+ also is very low power consumption.. If I want to tinker and dabble with linux, I always use Debian , I’ll pla
