Question about Docker for Synology DS416Play? - Enquiries - 02-28-2020
Hello, I recently purchased a used Synology DS416Play (Upgraded with 8GB of RAM) and was interested in installing Docker to do more fun stuff with it (Minecraft server) but I saw that this particular model was not natively supporting Docker. I know you can just install it manually but I was met with individuals that have installed it on this particular model with no problems and also individuals that said issues can arise with using Docker on this model. So if you know why exactly this is the case, why is it problematic, and is it too risky to use Docker on this device. I appreciate the time to read and answer my request and hope you have a swell day.

There nothing wrong with using a Docker if you can manage to install in in a first place. Once it is up and running there is nothing to worry about. Docker is just a stripped version of an app/VM. It takes some resources from a NAS to operate and it does.Docker is not as stable and well optimised as normal apps, but people are ok with it. Just restart it and carry on.I hope this helps.
