    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!

        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.
