The Synology Docker UI does not support routing one container through another containers network connection and causes an error if you try to use standard update methods or Watchtower.

If anything, this year flew by from the perspective of new Synology products and services, as well as for Blackvoid coming up to its 4th year of existence. Let's review some of the key moments, products as well as platforms that were introduced this year, and how they in some way shifted Synology and its users to new directions.

In this article, we’re going to take a look at Unraid vs. Synology. Unraid and Synology NAS devices are two NAS systems that you can use on your local network. There is a huge difference between these systems, however, and the main difference is that Synology NAS devices run the DSM operating system, while Unraid is the operating system.
