I recently asked about an alternative to Google Drive, and someone mentioned Synology. After some digging, I came across xpenology.

Since I already have an Intel NUC (proxmox), I decided to give it a go and got it successfully setup in a dedicated VM.

Now that Synology looks very powerful, I decided to go with it while also planing to upgrade my current NUC setup from 250GB ssd/750GB HD to 2tb nvme/2tb SSD.

While doing that, I was wondering whether I should keep my current VM (fedora) that runs some docker services like proxmox portainer, reverse-proxy, blocky, etc or whether I should move these to the xpenology VM.

Edit: I just realized, my comment was confusing due to a typo… To clarify: I run proxmox on bare-metal and have two VMs in there, Fedora and xpenology. So in short, is the Fedora VM redundant while having a powerfull synology OS already running?

    I tried that… although I had some issues setting it up.

    What’s funny, I thought this would be the hacky solution, while xpenology being the real deal.

      They are both hacky, but the Docker image is only handling the tasks you want it too, not the whole system, so if it goes haywire it’s not as bad.
