Synology guide suggestion - Viktor Krasynskyy - 2024-09-02
I would suggest updating Synology installation guide using https://www.wundertech.net/how-to-set-up-jellyfin-on-a-synology-nas/ document.
It has 2 very important topics missing in the Jellyfin one:
1) Setting up config/cache as externals folders so the data can survive recreation of container (it can also simplify backing up data if docker folder is shared);
2) Adding devices to docker config to enable hardware acceleration (Like Intel QuickSync for owners of D218+)
Nevertheless, Jellyfin it's a great product. I wish Samsung would publish the client to reduce complexify of setting up client for TV.

There's an active open PR for updating the Synology installation documentation on the website: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin.org/pull/867
There's also the guide I wrote for installing on DSM v7: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-guide-running-jellyfin-in-synology-s-dsm-7-using-docker-compose
