More context

The Synology conversation is split between getting started with NAS setups and technical troubleshooting/builds, alongside hardware/product updates and pricing signals (e.g., drive price increases and new networking/flash options). Users are also sharing expansion/architecture experiments like adding a transparent disk, tape, and an S3 cold tier via a Linux gateway.

I built my own Synology alternative, and the hardest part was accepting how good DSM still is

It's still better for my needs, however.

What are the Best Synology NAS Alternatives?

We will look at some of the best Synology NAS alternatives below, from prebuilt devices with first-party operating systems to DIY NAS operating systems.

What is Pi-hole and how does it work on a Synology NAS?

Pi-hole is a DNS-level ad blocker that filters ad and tracker domains before they reach your devices. On a Synology NAS, it runs as a Docker container in Container Manager. Your router points DNS queries to the Pi-hole IP, and Pi-hole decides whether to allow or block each request based on its blocklists.

Why can’t my Synology NAS reach Pi-hole on the macvlan IP?

Macvlan is a known limitation — the host machine (in this case, the NAS) cannot communicate with containers on a macvlan network. The Docker Compose file in this guide creates a second bridge network (192.168.100.2) specifically so the NAS can reach Pi-hole. Use that IP if you want the NAS itself to use Pi-hole for DNS.
