Possible to mine on Synology Diskstation (DSM) ?
-
@daWallet I'll see what I can come up with for mining directly from the Synology Disk Station via SSH command line....

@Feltersnatch Any luck with testing that solution.It woild be briliant to have nas server working 24/7 on its own without the pc.

Yes it is doable on QNAP and Synology boxes to it mine on its own as they offer Virtualization hyper-visor (make your own VM inside the box) and some models offer Ubuntu desktop where you run Burst operations without virtualization. However CPUs of those boxes are not made for such operations thus will result in a very slow operation in plotting and mining.
I have QNAP 563 box and I made all kinds of testing on it. I decided to use it as External storage and I use external PC to plot and mine the NAS drives.
-
@rnahlawi Ok so it is working but it is not very efficient.Is it possible that new model of Nas would be more reliable?You could plot the hhd on the PC and mine it on the NAS.Cause how I understand it CPU is only essential during ploting not mining?

@Ip85
True, I was plotting using external PC and Mine using VM running on the NAS cause no need for CPU power for mining.

I am asking beacause I am in the doorstep of asembling my first mining rig.So I am waiting for black friday to buy some hardware;).I am not experienced at all so I wouldn't be bold enough to buy motherboard, hdd etc and put it together.So the NAS server as a solution sounds quite good.Did you finding it complicated to set up?Plus I could imagine it is more energy efficient than PC (lack of grahpic card at least).

@Ip85
Not at all, configure your NAS drives as JBOD (recommended for Burst), create volume for virtualization and volume(s) for burst mining.
My box consumes 45W at its peak, while PC consumes ~200W.
Also, Consider QNAP for this operation (Synology and WDs won't serve you good)

What do you think about this baby?
TS-453A-4G or TS-451A-4G.Both of them are very similiar.Obviously the cheaper one is more interesting and apart of thr price and different cpu I do not see the difference between them.

@Ip85
Build your own NAS using ubuntu server.
If you're not comfortable with the command line, just install webmin to do all your drive mounting, etc.
I built my NAS for about $200 (before I got into BURST) and now it runs 24/7 mining my 24TB and drawing 75W
And dcct compiles just fine.

defiantly TS453A (preferably with 8GB RAM)
