Greetings! I’ve been daily driving a Raspberry Pi 4B as a home server for quite a while now and thought it was a great time to make the switch to a proper NAS.
My current Home Server setup uses 2 Raspberry Pi’s. One is where i selfhost all of the stuff i need, and one hosts my website.
The Pi only has 4gb of RAM, which is ok for me. But i can’t really say much about it’s performance. In Jellyfin, it’s struggling with streaming music. Not even a movie, a single MP3 file, it struggles with it.
I tried solutions like Nextcloud for a Selfhosted Cloud Storage Solution, but it would always wipe out it’s config every time the pi reboots.
I am looking forward to buy a Synology NAS. Their Web interface seems intuitive (theres even docker support too) and easy to use. However, i really am concerned on what data can Synology collect off of it.
So, what data can Synology collect off the NAS and is it safe in a Privacy nerd’s view?
Good to know, I hadn’t heard that. I still am leery though - they showed their hand.
For me it was the very clear message that they believe their customers are so stupid that they would believe Synology bullshit about only using Synology-branded storage.
That’s a level of contempt I won’t tolerate
