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?

There is no cloud, only someone elses computer.

Wdym you don't want to pay billion dollar companies to keep your data hostage

I built my own cloud with blackjack and hookers

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.

Local storage is great for you.

It's absolutely fucking terrible for end users that you have to support.

[-] damnthefilibuster@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

got me a 14 TB WD Easystore off eBay for $250 a few months ago.

UnRaid is a great choice for this and will run on virtually any x86 hardware.
