There are various automatic softwares that can manage this (like qbitmanage) but they are often a royal pain to setup.

My 212j is still running fine, if you can call its level of performance “fine” in any way

Unraid as I understand it will do that

As someone who is not a former sysadmin and only vaguely familiar with *nix, I’ve been able to turn my home NAS (bought strictly to hold photos and videos backed up from our phones) into a home media sever by installing Docker, learning how the yml files work, how containers network, etc, and it’s been awesome.

Thanks to everyone who replied, but I gave up on this. Turns out that Synology’s DSM has nginx as part of it, without exposing it as configurable, that commandeers ports 443 and 5000, and any other port seems to direct to 5001(?) which is the desktop manager login. I’ll just remember all the ports or maybe get Heimdall spun up!

I looked at Heimdall and came to the same conclusion, I could just whip up a static html page of links, or make bookmarks, easier than maintaining another docker.

If I’m understanding this correctly, this (plus some other stuff I probably don’t have setup, like traefik) would publish to a local-DNS-like entity so that I could go to sonarr.local and jellyfin.local instead of my current way of memorizing/ bookmarking all the various addresses in the form of server_ip:port# ?
