It is a synology NAS and all forum posts and tutorials say to install container managerand set up docker. Well tough luck because my model doesn’t seem to be compatible with container manager.
Ok, I install the the server in a pc running linux mint, now when I try to create a library I can’t point where the files are.
In the long run you’ll want to specify where it lives. Manually you could use the
mountcommand, but really you want the share to mount every time you reboot the machine so it’s always available. If you’re after a GUI app to do that, check out smb4k. I think that has options to do automatic mounting to a directory of your choosing (the path would typically be something like/media/<your username>/<synology hostname>/<name of share>).If you want to do this from the command line, look into
autofs, which lets you define a configuration and automatically mount an SMB share whenever your system needs it.I agree, I will have to learn to do it. One headache now to avoid all future headaches.
I’ll check them out, thanks.
