That's why out-of-the-box support for Docker is a life saver on my Synology. I'm running plenty of unsupported software that are portable to any other linux system of the same architecture. I don't even use any official Synology package when I've got the whole of Dockerhub at my disposal. I'm running Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, qBittorrent, Jackett all containerised, going through a VPN container. So a major selling point for any NAS-buying decision is: does it run Docker?
