    Access over Internet to DS Photos on Xpenology installed on virtualbox...

    Using only DDNS is not enough and won’t work. To use this feature you‘ll have to run the router configuration in DSM. If this succeeds DSM can open ports and register DDNS. If you really want to expose your box to the internet there are some things to be considered:

     

    - hardening your NAS by enabling the firewall in DSM, DoS protection, account blocking and 2FA for admin accounts

    - a certificate from Let‘s Encrypt for SSL secured transfers

    Excessive disk activity at switch on

    in General Post-Installation Questions/Discussions (non-hardware specific)

    Are the disks going wild immediately after power on or when DSM starts? When disks go crazy after power on chances are high that one or more drives are faulty. Maybe you can narrow down which disk is doing excessive operations by pulling the s-ata power cable out of it. 

     

    Did DSM indicate anything in the logs before you powered it down? Raid error or anything like that? 

     

    Here‘s an official how-to about mounting SHR in Ubuntu:

    You‘ll need a real domain which is relatively cheap. Most of the hosting providers let you modify the DNS records so that you can edit values like MX, DKIM, SPF, etc. It’s possible to work with CNAME records that point to your DDNS record but to work „clean“ a static IP with a reverse DNS entry on your ISP side is advisable. 

     

    There are multiple approaches available:

     

    1.) you host everything on your Synology (real MX/SMTP)

     

    2.) you use your Hoster as a „connector“ where each mail account is polled from the Synology. This would include an address for SMTP relaying (for example: mailserver@yourdomain.com)

     

    If your Synology is not reachable for whatever reason most SMTP servers will retry sending mails to it for at least 24 hours. 

     

    As written before some mail providers have portal sites where you can register your IP as a „valid“ SMTP to ensure that mails are send to their network. 
     

    I personally switched from 12 years of G-Suite business heavy use to MailServer Plus along with Synology Contacts, Calendar and Team Folders and never missed anything or encountered any mail problems. Nice side effect: you‘re in total control of your data. But a solid backup strategy is an important key factor. I recommend at least one stable backup destination where your Synology can backup all your important data with HyperBackup.

    Running business stuff on XPEnology is not recommended since you‘ll never know how long this project will be maintained and if your box survives critical updates which are required if you run services exposed to the internet like a mailserver. 

     

    If you intend to run your own mailserver this will require some deeper knowledge. Things to be considered:

     

    - DKIM

    - SPF

    - static IP and reverse DNS entry

    - DNS settings for your domain (MX records)

    - some providers like Microsoft require  that you register your MX before you can send mails to their domains

     

    Our you can run it in combination with your provider so that it polls mails and send them over a relay. Synology’s MailServer Plus is nice, I run it on several original boxes for business users. But as mentioned, it requires work and knowledge.

     

    Alternatives would be an original Synology, Qnap‘s QuTSCloud for Hypervisors or small business linux distros (Zentyal, UCS, etc.).

    This is a question which has been asked a few times before. In short: there‘s no loader available which supports ARM. Somebody has to reverse engineer an appropiate Synology and I don‘t think that this will ever happen. Think of the fact that Jun is the only one who has released a  working loader for DSM 6. If it would be that easy then there would be many other loaders.

    Wenn man plant, eine echte Box von QNAP zu kaufen und will das System mittels Virtualisierung vorher testen, würde ich eher zu einer Lizenz von QuTSCloud raten. Da gibt man einmalig 8€ für eine monatliche Lizenz aus und hat ein vollwertiges System mit QTS, das man auf Herz und Nieren testen kann. Ich habe mittlerweile 3 Lizenzen von QuTSCloud mit unterschiedlichem Performancelevel (Cores) für Hyper-V und ESXi und bin sehr zufrieden.

    Was ist denn der Grund für diesen Willen?
    Ich selbst habe Port 80 (TCP) sowie 5000/5001 (TCP) geforwarded, Zugriff auf die Oberfläche und Nutzung der Synology-Apps (DS-File) ist damit uneingeschränkt möglich (ich: Android; Frau: Apple) und ich würde das nicht missen wollen.
    Die Usability einer VPN-Lösung wäre mir ein Graus.

     

    Oha... sind denn beide User wenigstens non-admins? Für den admin 2fa aktiviert? DoS protection und auto-ban aktiviert? 

     

    Ansonsten wäre mir eher Dein Setup ein Graus und nicht die Aktivierung eines VPN-Schalters im mobilen OS...

    Sorry wenn ich das "Hilfegesuch" hier im Forum falsch einsortiert habe. Das hatte sehr wenig mit Ignoranz oder so zu tun, viel mehr mit keine Ahnung

    von diesem Forum und neu hier.

     

    Den Thread habe ich deswegen verschoben. Nächstes Mal einfach besser mitdenken bzw. überlegen, in welche Sektion das reinpasst.

    Also kein Grund gleich die Leute auf diese Art zurechtzustutzen. EIn netter Hinweis hätte da auch genügt ;-).  

     

    Kann man so oder so sehen. Viele User stellen häufig Fragen in Bereichen, die thematisch damit überhaupt nichts zu tun haben. Uns Moderatoren entsteht dadurch zusätzliche Arbeit, die größtenteils unnötig ist (das ist ja kein kommerzielles Forum, alle opfern hierfür ihre Freizeit, die bekanntlich knapp ist). Und ja, teilweise ist das der Blöd- oder Faulheit der jeweiligen User geschuldet, die mitunter arrogant reagieren. Von daher kann es auch mal vorkommen, dass man so reagiert. Auch wenn es nicht richtig ist 😉

     

    So long...

    So you can access your shares but not the webinterface? Did you try to ping your Nas by entering it‘s name, „walsynology“? What is the result? If - as @flyride said - nothing has changed then your Nas should be accessible. Does it have a static IP? If it’s static and your network config has changed (another subnet) then you should try to gain access by changing your MAC‘s IP to an address in the old subnet.

    Did you set your Xpenology as the only DNS server in Windows‘ TCP/IP settings? Correct DNS settings are crucial in (Active) Directory/LDAP environments. Another thing is DSM‘s firewall. If it’s activated be sure that there is an allow rule for the directory server and dns.
