That’s a shame! I’m new here, researching forum software for a forum that we don’t want to look like a forum. If you see what I mean. At present, some of my co-conspirators are hooked on Wordpress… I’ve never really liked it, and my only interactions have left me feeling that plugins are buggy and typically poorly supported. My plan was to install Discourse on my Synology NAS,as that’s currently the only platform I have running a Linux-type OS. Given what has been said here, I’ll forgo that idea! I’ve been thinking of a low power box for a DIY NAS for some time. Perhaps I’ll move that plan up the to-do list. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-discourse-on-synology-directly/108786)._
