blackvoid Portainer - login via LDAP hosted on Synology NAS

Portainer offers three (3) authentication methods: Internal LDAP OAuth (since 2.6 it supports custom OAuth) Portainer main Authentication methods In this article, I would like to show how you can set up your Synology NAS to be a valid LDAP server and connect it to your Portainer.

NAS Compares 6 Things You Can Do With Your NAS Other Than Backup Storage

Cool Things You Can Do With Your NAS other Than Backup Storage The main motivation for most users who purchase a new network-attached (NAS) storage device is often a means to create an alternative to Cloud services, backup several devices safely and really just to make sure that there is a mean to keep their data safe and sound, but also within reach when needed. The majority of NAS brands perform this function well and if you are looking for a NAS just to do these functions, then you will always be successful, regardless of the unit you choose.

Top 3 NAS for Plex under £500 in 2021

NAS Compares Top 3 NAS for Plex under £500 in 2021

Recommended 3 NAS Drives for Plex Media Server Under £500 The growth in popularity that Plex media server has enjoyed these last few years is genuinely outstanding. Multimedia has gone through several phases as the common household media technology in our homes has evolved, from local media boxes, to popular subscription-based streaming services and now onto the re-emergence of owning your own media server. Privately owned media servers are not exactly new, but the way that this multimedia that you own on a NAS or spare computer system is presented to the end-user is where the real difference lies. Plex media server allows you to turn your decades of multimedia from a rather unappealing array of files and folders and turning into a...

NGINX proxy manager

blackvoid NGINX proxy manager

Guess this article was one long overdue considering how many Docker containers I run and a decent amount of those are running via reverse proxy.

It was built in, it offered enough options out of the box, and I was lazy to run my separate one. Well as it turns out, there are some solutions out there that require several features inside your reverse proxy to make them run correctly. This was the main reason why I made the switch to NGINX proxy manager. Let's see how to run your version in parallel to your Synology NAS one. Continue reading...

Synology DSM 7.0 – How Well Does It Run?

NAS Compares Synology DSM 7.0 – How Well Does It Run?

How Well Does Synology DSM 7.0 Run on Different NAS Drives It’s been a long road and we’ve waited close to 3 years since its initial reveal, but the release of the DSM 7 RC, the latest generation of Synology software and services, is here and Synology users new and old are getting ready to upgrade to significantly improved software platform. Unlike previous firmware updates that predominantly focused on improvements in stability, tweaks to security and adding features to existing services, this new Synology firmware update is genuinely massive by comparison (a tad like moving from Windows 8 to Windows 10). Of course, even though the software will be near enough the same for all Synology users, the extent to which it will perform, the...
