Installing Synology DSM on any computer for you to learn how to configure this system

hello everybody my name is Alan I'm from cyberlab and today I will show how you can install Synology Nas OS in your computer or your Nas or your laptop or anything that you have and in this way you can use this system of course with some limitations but you can use this system and try it according your needs and the reason that I'm posting this video is because some time ago I show how I change myself and with the idea to save money I got acknowledging us and at the same time a lot of people start to ask Alan how can I install this in my knowledge or how can I set up it or how can I do this this is this and in this way I can show it and the people that don't buy its knowledge but want to try it and see if it is oos work well you can do it without buy and if you need or if you think that it's better you can buy in the future so if you like this idea and want to learn a little bit more about it we're gonna show you this video but first of all don't forget to leave a like subscribe for the channel if you also subscribers let's understand a little bit more about it [Music] before we start to do any installation or anything let's go to the base first thing you need to have a computer or a laptop or anything that you can install don't need to be really fast or don't need to have lots of run because the US work with low CPU and low run memory but you need to have this computer also you're gonna need to have at least more hard drives connected because the idea is to make a Nas so if you want to make an ad you need to have a one two three hard drives connect if you wanted to make a raid 5 you're gonna need at least three hard drives if you want to do any kind of rate you need to have more than one hard drive if you want only one hard driving Network yes you can do but you're not protect against of any failure also you're gonna need something that you're gonna run the US why I say something that you're going to run the US you can run in your USB you can run in a SSD you can earn hard drive but remember ideal will be SSD or hard drive to avoid failure our flash drive can work yes can work without any problem for a long time but has high risk of failure because have a limited quench of read and write once that arrive in this limit done no more chances to read the right under this one and that's a potentially burn really quick compared for isst also the speed if you consider those it's a USB 3 and because USB 3 can run quite fast but if you go for old computer you will have USB 2 that's a little bit slower compare for directly SATA connection this reason that's a internal hard drive will be faster compared for USB but anyway we're gonna do our installation use a 32 gigabyte USB stick first thing that we're gonna do we go in our computer what we want to show this one it's my real Nas this one it says knowledge that I have in-house and here it's running all applications with different application that I can have if I go for control panel and put updates I'm using the ds920 plus with the current US ds7 one one fortitude 962 you can understand why I told it but in next stage so now here is my system but not gonna show how you can install it or how you can run it what we're gonna show it what you need to do to install the open system in another computer and to do it here is the website so I'll leave the link in description don't worry about it but it's a community front specific for those and if you come here this is the post that this person did and if I click in GitHub here is the image that we're gonna do and if I go a little bit down it's at automate system so basically make really easy for you this reason that I want to explain this way in the past was really difficult because you need to match the MAC address you need to do a lot of others installation and in this way it's simple quick and fast other thing that's interesting this option has an option for proxmox so if you want to install in a proximox server you can follow these steps and they will show how to install but we're gonna install and fixing the computer so if I go all the way up I will first need to download this us to download it I will come here release remember that it's still in better revision I believe that soon will be more stable but this one is still bad and that's potentially have some issues don't worry about it I test for some time and it still works quite well so now if we come here the revision that we need to download is basically this one you're not going to install anything else or download anything else because you don't want to see the source code you don't want to see the updates or anything you want to just see the latest revision so if I click here and now I can download once that I finish the load I can come here my downloads and I need to unzip this file if I come here extract it here before the pin extract is around 132 megabytes and I have to extract it's around one gigabyte what we're gonna do now we need to copy this us or this image specific in my USB stick how I do I connect my USB stick my computer and now I open Berliner Edge to do this installation so I come here put Flash from file and I will select the file that I have select the target so will be the Kingston put select and put Flash because my USB stick is quite fast so we'll take a few seconds to finish to install it and check so once that I finish you install I can remove this USB stick and go in for my computer and connect this USB stick to my computer one thing that you need to remember is that you need to configurate for your computer to boot in this system you can go for F2 depend what kind of computer to have will be different options some of those you need to press have choose some of those initial press F12 and others you need to do different ways delete so you need to know your computer search online and that you need to chook or open bios in the Bios you need to set up the preference of setup or to first start you need to set that the start point or the first boot to start will be this USB or your SSD or that specific hard drive that you install in this way you can do all the installation otherwise you cannot do all these installation so now I will go for my computer and that we can go back in the screen in a second once that you connect your USB and Define that it will boot with that USB you're gonna have this page or something similar what it means that you can access your IP address 2.7681 which will allow you to do the initial configuration otherwise you can go directly for your rotor and that see what is the initial IP address that it's using for that application so I know that my IP address will be 192.168.1.253 and I'm using the port 7681 so here it's my configuration it's a better version remember it and here it's a model that I can choose because I wanted to reflect exactly the same model that I have read I will go for the s920 plus and put enter if you want different tapes or if you want to put more hard drives I suggest you to choose all these options but for me I will want to choose exactly the same because I can compare performance between my acknowledging us and my home lab Mass so now I will choose 290 and put enter in this stage they will preset up my system they will take a little bit to save this configuration what could affect according from the speed of your USB stick if you use SSD will be fast if you're using a normal pen drive or flash drive will be a little bit slow so let's wait it finish once that you choose the model then now you need to build the number so I'll put here and I will select what revision remember that we talk that the my current Synology nurse it's update with revision 42962 so exactly the same revision that appear here if you want a little bit older revision you can choose but I suggest you should go for the latest one that will be the more updated one so I'll put enter and they will start to reconfigure all my information and modes for work with this specific revision so let's wait once that's finished to build the number now we can choose a serial number this one can be entry manual or random so we're going to select random and that they will generate a serial number now what we can do we can put build the loader so we'll put Builder loader and that today we start to process and build a load against of that specific revision of us that configurate this one will take few minutes until they download everything and pre-configure it for you so let's wait okay once that has been finished you build a loader now we can go here and boot the loader what means your system will restart and that will take some minutes once that is read you want to be able to restart your Synology Nas in this way will look like that you just got as knowledge in us like for the first time and that will appear exactly the same page so we're gonna put mood loader and we're gonna wait this one they will boot the system will take some time to process everything and restart your system so what I saw it's around 5 to 10 minutes so let's wait this one to finish once that finish I start the system everything to work if you come here in the same IP address but Port 5000 you're gonna be able to see your Synology First Step application so let's wait once that your system has start you're gonna have this page what they will classify in first time or welcome choose knowledge so we put things down we can go next no problem because we'll be exactly the same revision that disappear here we say yes I do understand everything will be raised all the drives all the configuration will be raised I don't care about it and put continue and now they will start the installation what it means they will start installation start to install the packs download all the firmware and leave everything update for you so this one could take a little bit longer because it's a long process and because I'm using a normal USB stick or fire stick this one take a little bit longer if I was with SSD will be much faster so let's wait this one finish before we go to the next stage once that they finish you install this versus stage they will get this page where it will take 10 minutes approximately to a start what means they will take around 10 minutes potentially a little bit less but some normally take more or less this time so let's wait again a little bit more now we can start to set up our knowledge we'll put start we're gonna Define the name of the server so we'll be better my admin I will be a software lab I suggest you never use admin because if someone tries to Brute Force first thing they do try admin admin so don't use it and try to put a strong password I don't believe that still allowed you to use a small password or a weak password so I don't believe that you're going to be able to put anime editing now you put allowed and put next we're going to install all the important DMS Apple packaging for start next and now we're going to skip you're not going to be able to choose create your knowledge account because you're not using realisticness you're using a a computer run with this us so you're gonna need to put escape and put skipping away and put submit and now they will start your application so first thing that you need to do is create your poll let's put create pool and here we're gonna put start and the different types of four different types of raid so if I come here SSH it will be rate 5. if I go for basic our job will be strip or mirror so if I leave the SSH normally they need to have at least three drives but we're not gonna worry about it because only have one and they will work anyway but I don't have redundancy so if one of my hard drives fail I have only one solid it is lost so I come here and put a description so it will be uh we can jump it not necessary we can put the drive and put next continue I can skip the performance and I put Max and I put the volume so we'll be home and put next ptfs or x24 what I suggest to use this one because it's more advancable you can make snapshot you can check Integrity compare for this one that is a simple system also if you have a lot of hard drive this X4 will not work the way they'd expect so leave as a ptfs and put next and now they will give overview for all your applications you put apply and okay and they will create your rate or create all these hard drive in one hard drive will create your pool base what's the problem if you have lots of hard drive they will process everything and it will take a little bit longer but don't worry after a few hours you're gonna be able to use it I do believe that technology right allowed you to use it but with performance issues and you don't have a full capacity once that they finish you should produce a rate then you're gonna have the full capacity for your system so in this way let's wait and see what's the next page that will show for us so now just finish configurate my pool and here's the amount of the space that I have I use 78.7 megabytes of data and I have a totally also 436 gigabytes here I can run my scrambling here is my overview how many hard drives connect because I choose the nine Chooser that have a four base they only appear as a one of the base if you choose another option you're gonna have more bass or not also if you have any kind of SSD you can make look like a cache with those SSD so now we finish this video for this stage we can go more in the next video explain how you can create different users permissions poo SMP install different applications and continue on so if you like this video and think that was interesting please don't forget to leave a like once you subscribe for the channel if
