Getting started is really easy, after connecting your NAS to your local network, navigate to finds.synology.com<\/a> which figures out the local IP address so you can start the DSM wizard at port 5000.<\/p>\n The DSM (DiskStation Manager) is their handy web UI you can use to configure pretty much everything!<\/p>\n The wizard is pretty self-explanatory from there on out, the only thing you may really want to think about is which RAID you want to be using, for which Synology conveniently offers you their RAID Calculator<\/a>.<\/p>\n Who can remember some random default IP? You will want to access your Synology even when not on your local network. Signing into a Synology Account is a necessary step here: After that:<\/p>\n Some other options you may want to tweak right away:<\/p>\n Configure passwordless sign-in from the <\/i> icon at the top right of the DSM and pick \u201cAccount\u201d and then either \u201c2-Factor Authentication\u201d or \u201cPasswordless Sign-In\u201d.<\/p>\n Download the Synology Secure SignIn<\/a> app or use one you already have like Google Authenticator.<\/p>\n Some other interesting options there:<\/p>\n First, activate your Then, enable SSH: If you keep the default port 22 and make it externally available, expect a LOT of login attempt notifications from script kiddies. You may also want to look at Auto Block settings at You can now login with your password:<\/p>\n If this fails with error: \u201cunable to start ssh-agent service, error :1058\u201d:<\/p>\n Or start in Who wants to type that password all the time\u2026<\/p>\n On your Windows (!?) machine:<\/p>\n On your NAS:<\/p>\n Check out this blog post<\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n The out of the box ssh experience of Synology is ok. But we can do better\u2026<\/p>\n This basically involves configuring a I opted for Oh My Bash<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you have forked the Oh My Bash repository:<\/p>\n This created said Use <\/p>\n You probably want to install these packages.
