I developed an ASP.NET MVC web application using SQL Server and my company owner ask me to publish on Synology disk station ds216+ii.

  1. You must own a Synology NAS to run this app, and be running the latest Synology Drive 1.0.0 to get the complete set of features.
  2. I've been able to access my shared folder in the file manager on Linux Mint 19. After many hours of research, I'm having issues getting that folder and/or my Synology NAS to mount on boot. I can access the drive using afp or smb, and it will auto login using the file manager, but no luck on boot.

I found that I can host .net core app on Synology, but not ASP.NET MVC, and also found that SQL Server is also not possible to install.

My question is that can I upload a simple asp.net mvc web app, install SQL Server on Synology?

On the upside, Synology’s first-party apps are superior to QNAP with some great office applications (Document, Spreadsheet, and Slides), chat app (Synology Chat), email client software (MailPlus), facial recognition application (Synology Moments) as well as a drive application (Synology Drive). I’m writing this article as a follow-up to a previous article I wrote regarding package sources and obtaining more synology apps. It was made clear to me that there are many more package sources, and you can monitor. Customize your Linux or bash shell style with PS1 definitions in.bashrc May 10, 2018; How to downgrade virtual.

I am looking into it right now and you can use docker to get a container from Microsoft.https://hub.docker.com/r/microsoft/mssql-server-linux/If you have an 8GB RAM setup in the NAS it can definitely run on in terms of system resources.

With the way .NET is now these days, yes it should be possible. Though, you will be limited to only .NET Core and SqlServer for Linux, since you will need a cross-platform solution because Synology OS is Linux based.

  • Look into .NET Core for your Web App: https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#macos
  • The new version of SQL Server supports linux: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/sql-server-linux-setup

Edit:

You can also look into Docker, and have a container for both your web app and also SQL Server.

Company history[edit]

Current Synology CTO Derren Lu.

Synology Inc. was founded in January 2000 when Cheen Liao and Philip Wong left Microsoft to pursue an independent project. Liao was a development manager in the Microsoft Exchange Server Group, while Wong was a Sales Director for Microsoft in Taiwan. The two began to write a new operating system called Filer OS based on Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD), which was to be used with Fastora NAS hardware to create a NAS solution. To integrate their NAS software tightly with hardware, Synology released its first complete solution in 2004, the DiskStation DS-101. Since the release of its first DiskStation, Synology Inc. has grown to about 650 employees worldwide.[when?] Liao and Wong are still with the company, with Liao serving as President of Synology America Corp. and Wong serving Chairman of Synology Inc.[when?]

Product overview[edit]

Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM)[edit]

Synology’s primary product is the Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM), a Linux based software package that is the operating system for the DiskStation and RackStation products. The Synology DSM is the foundation of the DiskStation, which integrates the basic functions of file sharing, centralized backup, RAID storage, multimedia streaming, virtual storage, and using the DiskStation as a network video recorder. Synology also provides free mobile applications for its users, including support for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Kindle Fire.

Synology DiskStation[edit]

The Synology DiskStation is the network attached storage (NAS) appliance which is produced to run the Synology DSM OS. The DiskStation is a pedestal/tower embedded NAS appliance, which ranges from one bay to as many as twelve bays within a single enclosure. Some models feature storage scalability, where physical units may be tethered together for additional storage, without the need for volume recreation or loss of availability.[citation needed]

Synology FlashStation[edit]

The Synology FlashStation is an all-flash version of the DiskStation.

Synology RackStation[edit]

The Synology RackStation is a rack-mounted version of the DiskStation. It features all of the same abilities of the DiskStation with the exception that it is meant to be enclosed in a 19-inch rack cage. Some of Synology's rack models feature redundant power supplies. As with its desktop-oriented brethren, select models of the RackStation also feature storage scalability.[citation needed]

Synology Router[edit]

The Synology Router Manager (SRM) was derived from the DiskStation Manager (DSM). The wifi router RT1900ac[34] comes without a modem, but users can connect an ADSL or cable modem on the WAN port, or a variety of 3G/4G modems on the USB port.[35] The RT2600ac supports up to 2.53Gbps while running a 1.7 GHz dual core CPU. It uses MU-MIMO and beamforming with a hardware acceleration engine.[36]

DSM Extensibility[edit]

Synology's software architecture allows for third-party add-on application integration. Hundreds of third-party applications are available in addition to Synology's own catalog. Command line access via SSH or Telnet is available. Access to development tools and APIs are also available on Synology's website. Third-party applications can be written in an interpreted programming language such as PHP or compiled to binary format. Public APIs allow custom applications to integrate into Synology's web-based user interface. Installers using the SPK format can install third-party applications directly on the DSM operating system.[citation needed]

Vulnerabilities[edit]

In 2014, a piece of ransomware emerged, dubbed 'Synolocker', that targeted Synology devices.[37][38][39]
