Docker missing in my DSM 7.1, DS416?

[Quantillion]

I have other apps & facilities I'd like to install (browser, NAS speedtest etc.) but most require Docker. But there is no Docker within my package!
Is this normal?
How do I get it or how else do I install other apps?
(I have DSM 7.1-42661 Update 3 on a DS 416)

The DS416 CPU does not support Docker.

How do I get it

Purchase a plus unit that supports Docker.

You may find some apps available through SynoCommunity.

Docker is only supported on the following models:

Docker - Add-on Packages | Synology Inc.

Docker is a lightweight virtualization application that gives you the ability to run thousands of containers created by developers from all over the world on DSM. The hugely popular built-in image repository, Docker Hub, allows you to find shared applications from other talented developers.

So, my DS416 is running at < 1% the rated data bitrate of my hub, but I can't even do a speedtest because I can't install a speedtest tool and I can't do an online speedtest because I can't even install a browser.
It's essentially just a very slow external hard disk as things stand.

This is a different topic. If you need assistance with that, why not open a new thread?

I think the gist is that using Docker would allow access to install these monitoring tools. But as already said there is the option to use the packages from SynoCommunity, which is back and I see has updates for a lot of packages including SynoCLI Monitor Tools.

Caveat emptor, as the saying loosely goes.
