Hi to all!
I am new here and to SongKong!
I am using a quite low powered Synology NAS.
There I run minimserver!
I was wondering if I can instgall SongKong on my NAS!
From what I read up to this point I guess not but I am asking in case I miss something!
I am also using a rpi4/4gb where I run Gentooplayer with LMS enabled routed to my music libray on my NAS
May be there is any option to run install SongKong there?
Thank you in advance!
Michael

Unfortunately not, SongKong on Synology utilises Docker and Docker is only available on Synology on models with an Intel chip, this model uses an Arm chip. Using Docker means we only have to create a single Intel Docker version of SongKong, and a single Arm Docker version then SongKong will run on any Intel or Arm device that supports Docker.
In contrast MinimServer runs directly on the Synology, this means it can run on all Synology models, the disadvantage is that a special Synlogy installer has to be written and will only work on Synology and the installation procedure varies depending on exactly what model of Synology you may have.
At some point I may create Synology installer and that would allow install on arm devices but it is not high priority, to be honest arm devices are a bit underpowered for SongKong anyway.
Thank you very much for your reply!
Yes I was almost sure that it won’t be possible! I understand that some NASes are quite underpowered and mine is one of them!
I know about minimserver! I have it running on my NAS for quite some time and now I have upgraded to Minimserver 2!
