I’m just trying to identify, weather it’s possible to install a Nextcloud client on a Synology or not. Anyone here having experiences in this or any useful suggestion?īackground: Due to poor internet connectivity I try to mirror my Nextcloud instance, which is hosted at an internet provider, on my local Synology. I’m having about 100.000 files in my Nextcloud (50GB) and I already tried Synology’s CloudSync to keep the local mirror always updated. The point is, that CloudSync takes about 1…2 hours to get aware about any new file, as the connection is done via WebDAV. I personally have expansion modules (dx517) and use separate volumes on each. One issue with either device and you’ll loose the entire volume. I would highly discourage against expanding the volume beyond PSUs/enclosures.
I guess WebDAV does not support any notification about changes (new files, updated files, deleted files) and therefore, it seems to me that CloudSync is continiously scanning the whole WebDAV file system of my cloud for changes, which takes such long. It depends on if synology will recognize the controller of the device. The Nextcloud client is using any other mechanism to get aware of changes in the cloud within seconds.
If a Nextcloud client cannot be installed on a Synology, any other suggestion to overcome this long sync time is highly appreciated. I’m not sure if I’ve understood what you’re trying to do - install NextCloud on your Synology NAS or just a client (I don’t understand the latter). If I’ve misunderstood I apologise, but what I’ve written below might help others searching for s Synology installation. If your NextCloud is with an external provider, why not move it to your local DS and use that? I tried NextCloud hosted elsewhere and decided I want my data inside my network. I used this tutorial and it works perfectly.
