I am constantly hearing disc activity on my ds218+. In the Activity manager I can see constant read/write on the performance overview. In the task list I can’t see anything showing read/write, other than Swap, but that shows up less frequently than i hear the clicking. The RAM usage on the system is also under 50%....

I have a RAID 6 volume with data protection on my DS1621+. A video file seems to have become corrupt - it worked in Plex a few months ago but now it won’t play at all. I’ve tried in VLC, the built-in DSM video player - nothing seems to work. No other files appear to be corrupt, all drives show as Healthy....

I‘m planning to migrate from a DS224+ with 2x14TB in Raid 1 and with volume encryption to a DS423+ with 2x18TB in SHR and no encryption....

I have set up the reverse proxy at the login portal. I love it, but if I use a url to a non existant service, the proxy sends my to the dsm login page. I dont want this. Is there a way of configuring so that any address not in the list of valid adresses is sent to a 404 page?

Based on the analysis of the community submissions to the Synology RAM Compatibility List, here are some key insights from the previous year:...

I ended up getting the Timetec 16GB module from Amazon (clean link: www.amazon.ca/dp/B07H4XNNXK)....

Recently learned about the SynoCommunity packages, but I saw this comment for a package that HyperBackup might not recognize a package and thus not back it up. However, it was unclear if it was for the particular package, or if this is a shortcoming of the SynoCommunity packages—since it’s a third-party thing, maybe it...

I’m writing this post because I’ve gone through all the usual troubleshooting tips and I’m at an dead end....

I have a DS220+ with 2x 6TB drives in RAID. I used some bad RAM, and now the volume is read-only and won’t restore. I was resigned to backup the data, create a new volume, and restore the data, but I had an idea – will this work?: Basically, I use one of the two drives as its own backup. I pull out one drive and save it, I...

Photos added a new directory “PhotoLibrary” and moved my “Moments” folder into the “Photos” directory in my Home folder....

Hi all,...

So I was happily using an SSD nvme as volume storage for all of my docker containers and almost forgot that it was officially unsupported after so long with that setup....

I think it’s getting time to start research to replace my aging Synology, what’s good in the marketplace right now?...

I waited years for this feature to be included in Photos. While the DSM 7.x update and migration to Photos went very smoothly, when I look at the subject album in Photos, it’s showing a very small list vs what I know it’s detected....

Hi everyone! I have a unique issue and wondering if the community can give me some input....

When setting up a DS923+, I added a reservation for IP address to my router. So I was wondering if there is a way to get DSM to pick up the new (and henceforth static) IP address quicker than waiting for the current one to expire (which would take about 22 more hours). On Windows/Mac there’s an option to renew/refresh DHCP in...

With Surveillance Station, you can set up push notifications to send an email, text, or notification on mobile via DS Cam app....

Just got delivery of the DS923+ so now figuring out the drives and other add-ons to order. I was curious if I could first put in an SSD like a Crucial MX500 and start up the NAS, and finish installation of DSM. And once that’s done, add the rest of the drives (had 3x Seagate Ironwolf Pro 18TB in mind) as a separate volume....

Anybody picking up a NAS for Prime Day? Noticed a good deal? Or are there other ideas/recommendations?

I’ve got 6 1TB crucial BX500 SSDs. When installing it says they are unsupported but I just continued on anyway. I’m assuming everything should run fine anyway, and just want to make sure. Will there be any unforeseen consequences?

When Synology migrated from Moments to Photos, they dropped the image recognition. I’m specifically calling out the feature that detected cats, dogs, food, beach, whatever....

I have a DS920+ full of 16TB HHDs. I am considering adding a DX517. Is it possible to move my HDDs into the expansion unit and maintain the existing raid while installing SSDs into the original four bays? Does it make sense to put the HDDs in the expansion because they connect over a single eSATA cable? Does it make any sense to...

I would like to deploy my own Omnivore instance on my NAS via Docker. In the repo, there actually is a Docker compose file, but unfortunately it's too complex for my current docker skills and I can't get it to run. :-( Does anybody happen to have achieved this and is willing to share their docker-compose.yml? I'd be super...

This morning I updated my DS1621+ from DSM 7.1.1-42962 U6 to DSM 7.2-64570 U1. After the update I am no longer able to access shared folders from my Ubuntu machine. All errors in terminal and Portainer indicate “access denied”, though no passwords have changed, and I am still able to access the shared folders from Windows. I...

Hello, I currently use Active Backup for Business on my NAS to backup my Linux servers. However I saw that you can also backup MacOS computers. I own a MacBook and an iMac. However the iMac is mostly locked but turned on....
