No, we’ve had a number of support threads here on the topic. The existing Synology package is ancient and has a number of configuration pains, the maintainer appears to have abandoned it, to all intents and purposes it’s a dead-end.

It’s certainly possible to install, but whether that install is _supportable_ is the better question. The currently supported install method definitely doesn’t work as-is.
