Hi, James.
There are unofficial SynoCommunity builds of jellyfin for Synology devices. It's not a supported or generally recommended practice to run Jellyfin on the NAS itself, though. Some of them have hardware capable of running the server, but many of them do not. The ones with Intel hardware tend to fare a little better than those with other chips.
Best practice, instead, would be to use the NAS as a NAS (storage), and simply run the server software on a more capable machine elsewhere on the network.
We have a fairly new hardware selection guide here: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admini...-selection
See if that helps, and let us know if you have other questions.
There is no difference with respect to remote access.
