Thanks for starting! I’m another refugee from Reddit.
I have two:
- DS220+ – 2x8TB Seagate Ironwolf Pro – primary device, running a bunch of containers including Plex (of course) and some actually useful ones like Paperless-ngx.
- DS214se – 2x4tb Western Digital Red (CMR) – backup target for the other one, i will be sending it to my dad to be my off-site. (I host his off-site at my home; the DS214se was a hand-me-down/gateway drug.)
This week I discovered that Porkbun DNS has a nice little API that makes it easy to update your DNS programmatically. I set up Quentin's DDNS Updater https://github.com/qdm12/ddns-updater
Setup is a little fiddly, as you have to write some JSON by hand, but once you've done that, it's done and done. (Potential upside: You could use another tool to manage or integrate by just emitting a JSON file.) This effectively gets me dynamic DNS updates.
