Oh no no no. Synology is underpowered trash and should not even be used as a NAS

Also, you will need a Bitcoin Core node so.........

you are better off buying a refurbished x86 machine on ebay/amazon

Docker is overkill, just install everything yourself.. Bitcoin needs almost 1 TB of disk space these days

That comment really made me laugh and cry simultaneously. šŸ˜‚

Will hold off self-hosting until buying a refurbished x86 machine. The more I dive into self-hosting, the more I realize how underpowered Synology and OS really is especially when scaling.

I’d second this, but suggest start9 for an elegant solution to stand up LNBits along with all other moving parts
