There are expansions for Synology: https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/accessories?tab=nas&category=expansion_units

Probably most important is the 5-drive DX517 that will definitely work with your 1821+ https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/DX517#specs

So does my iPhone for that matter.

How does New Lunix fit into the picture?

Is there kissing?

Me last week when my pi-hole was down

Unraid as I understand it will do that

As someone who is not a former sysadmin and only vaguely familiar with *nix, I’ve been able to turn my home NAS (bought strictly to hold photos and videos backed up from our phones) into a home media sever by installing Docker, learning how the yml files work, how containers network, etc, and it’s been awesome.

I think I made it right with an edit.

Happy Birthday!!

ETA: …you know, whenever it may be

Thanks to everyone who replied, but I gave up on this. Turns out that Synology’s DSM has nginx as part of it, without exposing it as configurable, that commandeers ports 443 and 5000, and any other port seems to direct to 5001(?) which is the desktop manager login. I’ll just remember all the ports or maybe get Heimdall spun up!

I have no idea, but I know it’s awful

I looked at Heimdall and came to the same conclusion, I could just whip up a static html page of links, or make bookmarks, easier than maintaining another docker.

Thanks for the tip, i didn’t actually 100% understand what proxmox was until you said that it is a hypervisor.

I have a NUC that I accidentally stole from my last job that may become my hobby PC. I will probably try a distro on bare metal to get my feet wet but then take it to there. Or maybe a USB distro to start? I haven’t put much thought into it yet.

I went from 212j to 920+ and it’s night and day in terms of what it can do. It was also $400 more so there is that.

It has been a fun hobby to nerd out learning Docker, networking magic, VPNs, and such. It may tun into full-blown Linux on a PC at some point.

If you got one with a decent CPU it’s also quite the little workhorse of a home server via its apps and Docker.
