Yeah just got a Synology 920+ a few months ago. At first, it was just to consolidate my files. But the thing can also run VMs.
Right now, my BBS runs on a VM on a Proxmox setup that I had for years, for the hardware is getting old. BTW the BBS is running on Ubuntu server 20.04.4 LTS

So I was just wondering, has anybody had experience running VMs on
these, reliability and stuff?
Aren't Synology NASes fun? I picked up a DS1010 a year ago, finding lots of uses for it.
The newer ones have a docker engine, don't they? There are Synchronet
docker containers out there, seems like a great way to consolidate the apps and storage in one unit.

I'll be honest, after running Synology for over 10 years, I have
switched to Unraid and am much happier. Synology was good, and their
user interface was great, but you can build an Unraid server for way
less $$, and it's as just reliable.

It does run containers, and I do have some running. I haven't checked
for Synchronet. That also could be an approach. I know it's just a 4
core Intel Celeron J4125, but my BBS is running on a Core 2 Duo in a
VM, and the machine is basically idling, so I feel it's more than
enough power. The only big door I'm Running is actually a Tradewars
game server also in its own VM, and also, even with a lot of players
logged in, it's not struggling at all.
So I guess when I have a few days off, I might try.
