Also not OP. I've got a Synology 918+ that I've used for years, and as a file store, I'm quite pleased. I've tried running apps on it, and the ones that are available are decent, but I pretty quickly got to where I needed to SSH in to make certain things happen, and that felt weird for an appliance like this. I added Docker and ran a bunch of stuff on that, and that was kind of a pain. They don't make it easy to update the images and the community's solution is to SSH in and install watchtower to do it. I'm now just using it for network file storage and running all those services on a Linux box instead. I thought about just putting the drives in the Linux box, but I did some network testing and the NAS was faster, and it provides a lot of storage-related niceties, so I'm keeping it in the mix. For instance, I recently decided to upgrade the drives to faster, larger ones, and it's been pretty easy.
