I managed to install XPenology today. I'm running DSM 7.1.1, but the Package Manager says it's failing to connect. Is this the expected behavior in XPenology or should it be working just as it would on a Synology NAS? I have been able to manually install packages downloading them from the Synology Archive, but this is quite tedious, specially if they have dependencies. Also, I can't seem to find a valid Plex package there.

I don't know about DSM, but can't you enable SSH key for logging in to your systems? Then you would have a private key on your remote devices and only those would be able to log in.

Thanks PerryMason, actually last week I read your post about J5040 and I saved it for future references Also thanks @gadreel. I think I'm going to give the N100 a shot then, since I won't be doing live transcoding with it. If I need to I'll just probably set up some decoding software to convert video files before they are streamed.

OK thanks, I think I read something about Alder Lake not being supported yet by Synology so I was confused about this.

Hi. I'm completely new to XPEnology, though I have been doing some research for a few days. I was thinking of building a small NAS at home, I want it mainly for storage, specially photos, maybe some streaming, but that would not be its main purpose. I was aiming at using an Asrock J5040 with passive cooling with a DC PSU + PicoPSU since I don't want any noise from it. Then I've seen Asrock is about to release some new motherboards using N100 chip, which has a lower TDP and already integrates a DC input for 19V. However, I cannot find any information about whether I can get to install DSM using a N100 chip. Searching for N100 won't throw any meaningful results. Does anybody know if this is possible? Thanks
