I’ve written a bot for !dailygames@lemmy.zip that I’m currently just running on my desktop. But I’d like to be able to set and forget it (except for when I do updates) by running it on my Synology NAS.

How can I best pull the node app from GitHub and run it on my Synology, preferably automatically running on start-up if the Synology is restarted.

    IIRC, that’s exactly it. You can either use their GUI (which is not half bad) or you can use the docker command in the terminal after you install the package.

      Is there a way to get a terminal on the Synology itself, or is SSH from my PC the only way?

        There is not. But I’d say keep SSH closed on the NAS or whitelist only your local IP in the firewall. I do that and turn it off when I don’t need it. It can be a bit risqué messing about with SSH on Synology because of how funky they’ve made the distro it’s running and any changes you make might not persist on reboot or after updates.
