I use Beyond Compare to sync files from my laptop to my NAS which is a QNAP (my laptop is Linux Mint). It is incredibly slow, to the point that it is driving me crazy. Admittedly, I have lots of large files on my laptop that I move around frequently, so that may just be how it is. I do have my laptop setup to sync to my phone with Syncthing, and it seems like my phone is always up-to-date and in sync with my laptop. But of course it is syncing in, I guess, “real time” as opposed to a Beyond Compare backup which does everything only when I tell it to when lots of changes have already been made at the end of the day. Is it possible to install Syncthing on QNAP? Perhaps that would make things a bit faster, although I’ve always had a hell of a time trying to install something that isn’t a proprietary app from their store. Anyway, any suggestions are welcome.

EDIT: Plugging into ethernet instead of syncing over wi-fi helps speed things up a bit, but not as much as I would like.

    Installing Docker on a QNAP device is straightforward, thanks to the integrated Container Station application. Here’s how you can do it:

    1. Install Container Station: Log in to your QNAP device’s web interface (QTS), and open the App Center. Search for “Container Station” and install it.

    2. Enable SSH: If you need SSH access, go to the Control Panel > Telnet / SSH, and enable the “Allow SSH connection” option. Click “Apply” to save the changes.

    3. Create a Docker Container: Once Container Station is installed, you can create Docker containers using the Container Station user interface. Go to ‘Containers’, click ‘Create’, and select an image from the available registries.

    4. Configure Network Settings: Container Station supports multiple network modes and VLAN for flexible deployment. You can manage these settings according to your need.

    5. Manage Containers: After creating your Docker containers, you can manage them through the Container Station interface, where you can start, stop, and configure your containers as needed.

    For detailed instructions and the latest updates, refer to the official QNAP Container Station guide. It provides comprehensive information on using Container Station, including creating, managing, and deploying Docker containers.
