jadie Posted April 7, 2016 Share #1 Posted April 7, 2016 For those who need their "fix" of DSM 6.0 you can try the demo site. https://www.synology.com/en-global/dsm/live_demo This demo seems to be different from the previous demo as you can actually install apps from the package center. I am betting those demos are running inside their new Virtual DSM hypervisor. [Edit] Actually, it looks like its running inside the DockerDSM which is more like a sandbox environment; interesting.

abced Posted April 7, 2016 Share #2 Posted April 7, 2016 I like it. Will be nice to run it on our powerful machines with all these new virtualization things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanmmj Posted April 8, 2016 Share #3 Posted April 8, 2016 From Control Panel, File Services, rsync, it looks like it's a DockerDSM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsunakawa Posted April 8, 2016 Share #4 Posted April 8, 2016 This demo site is powered by Docker, which is a package running on Synology NAS. Docker DSM makes it possible to run multiple containerized instances of DiskStation Manager, so different users can log in and experience all the powerful features in a secure and isolated environment.

jadie Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted April 8, 2016 I like it. Will be nice to run it on our powerful machines with all these new virtualization things Something tells me that we might not see the visualization feature working on Xpenology for some time. Just a hunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threska960 Posted April 10, 2016 Share #6 Posted April 10, 2016 Possibly not, which is a good reason to have a machine dedicated to virtualization. The NAS as repository for VM's and ISOs in support of that machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESXI is a better alternative for most people since its free. However, there is a legal way to get a free copy of WindowsServer if you have access to MSDN or DreamSpark.

Octavean Posted April 11, 2016 Share #8 Posted April 11, 2016 Nice,.... There are definitely some missing features but it gives you an idea of DSM 6.0. I'm running DSM 6.0 on some native Synology hardware and like it a lot. It would be nice to see XPEnology move up to 6.0 as well,.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andale Posted April 12, 2016 Share #9 Posted April 12, 2016 I have several clients with "real" Synologys (DS212+. DS214+, DS1512+, etc.) and since they are running DSM 6.0-7321 they have some weird problems (as other users of Synologys report too). - MS Office error reports on Excel & Word files ("File is available as a newer version from another author") - missing warning message if an Office file from a share has already been opened on another workstation - wrong date & time stamps on recently created folders inside shares (up to 400 years in the future) Synology stated that they will release "a fix in the near future"... So it's not allways good to upgrade immediately on the newest version - especially in production environments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
