Plex media server download older synology how to#

In this Synology DSM docker guide, I will share how to use Docker Compose to easily setup a media server on Synology DS918+. With hardware transcoding support, Synology DS918+ was one of the best media server for Plex at the time.Īnother enticing factor about Synology was its support for Docker. One of the main reasons for my move was that I wanted a set it and forget it box for Plex, file storage, and database services. In 2019, I moved from an HTPC NAS Combo server to a separate Intel NUC Home Server and Synology NAS. Therefore, I strongly suggest that you use this guide to get started and use by GitHub repo and the detailed commit notes I publish, for changes, improvements, inspiration, and more. It is nearly impossible to keep this guide synced with my latest updates. Note: My setup changes constantly and evolves.

Don't worry I will link to all relevant sections as needed. We will prepare the Synology so you can follow my other guides to get your stack setup. Note that this guide focuses on setting up/preparing your NAS to be able to build a Docker Traefik stack or Docker Nginx Proxy Manager stack on Synology DSM using Docker Compose examples from my GitHub Repo. Or, you can even opt to not have a reverse proxy if you do not plan to expose your services outside your home network. In this post, I will show you how to build a media server using Docker on Synology and with Nginx Proxy Manager for a simple reverse proxy or Traefik for a much more powerful stack. Compose snippets from any of those stacks can be plugged into others.

I have Docker stacks running on 3 different environments: 1) Ubuntu VM on Proxmox cloud dedicated server, 2) Ubuntu Server on Digital Ocean VPS, and 3) Synology DS918+ with DSM 7.1.X.
