A Docker container that runs Synology DSM (DiskStation Manager) as a virtual machine using QEMU/KVM. It automates the DSM installation and provides web-based access to the NAS desktop with configurable CPU, memory, storage, and networking.
Use cases
- run synology dsm in a docker container
- self-host a synology nas without hardware
- test synology dsm in a virtual machine
- create a virtual nas with kvm
- run dsm on a linux server
- try synology operating system before buying a nas
When to choose
- you want Synology DSM features without buying Synology hardware
- you have a Linux host with KVM support and want a virtual NAS
- you want to test or demo DSM in an isolated container
When to avoid
- your host cannot provide /dev/kvm (e.g. Docker Desktop on macOS or Windows 10)
- you need a production NAS with guaranteed Synology support and updates
- you have very limited RAM or disk space
