Not sure why you'd do that instead of running a docker of something not proprietary like NextCloud, especially since you can run dockers through DSM directly.
Note that there is also other alternatives like QNAP.
And if you want open-source alternatives you can always use a VPN to connect to your home network with a NAS self-hosted deploy like OpenMediaVault or True-NAS.
I would not trust QNAP they had a lot very serious security issues in the past and have read only bad reviews about them.
I bought a QNAP NAS and installed a nvme drive with openmediavault and upgraded the RAM, to my knowledge, Synology hardware doesn't offer an easy way to do these changes.
In the end all I needed was a NAS box with a CPU capable of transcoding and this was the cheapest/easiest option.
I'm using 0 software from QNAP.
How long is it being running? Some people recommended me not do it.
24/7 and I did the change 3 months ago, the power consumption is low because I only have running a Jellyfin with 2HDDs and the processor is a celeron with low power consumption. No reason not to do it.
Oh interesting may ask which QNAP?
TS-464, the 4GB version is the one with open RAM slots.
As open source replacement of google drive I would prefer to use Nextcloud
Nextcloud is just a tool, it needs to be selfhosted or deployed in a VPS, in the end you need some hardware to deploy it.
There are also Nextcloud providers that will manage and host your NC instance.
Would you happen to know of any good reading material to get a VPN set up to my home? I have OMV set up on a Pi, and Pi-Hole set up on another Pi. It’d be great to be able to access that stuff while I’m away.
That looks mad simple, thank you so much! I tried setting up docker and had zero success. It’d be nice to run OMV and PiHole and everything off’a one Pi, but I’ve just been getting more Pis.
I’ll give this a shot!
I think now you need to use the Wireguard plugin instead of the OpenVPN one.
Google sometimes deplatforms people as well. Regardless of one's politics, one can't be positive it won't happen to them should the winds change.
It doesn't even have to be about politics. You can accidentally trigger one of Google's many tripwires and suddenly lose all access.
Like the Terraria's dev account got banned off YouTube and cut off everything else
No way, Terraria mentioned in the wild
Why are there so many comments engaging with this as though it’s a post by a human instead of an ad
Because the script remembered to swap accounts.
Synology software is proprietary, I wouldn't trust them that much. Better to buy a Raspeberry PI to selfhost a NextCloud server
I trust them more than Google
Indeed. Before I migrated all my files to M-Disc I used to encrypt them using PGP before uploading to the cloud. A good approach too
If I need something when I'm roaming about, my ssh bastion has the nas mounted.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
