Xpenology is a software that allows users to run the Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system on non-Synology hardware. It is based on the source code of the DSM software and is compatible with a wide range of x86-based hardware.
Xpenology uses the same web-based interface as the Synology DSM, and offers many of the same features, including file sharing, backup, and cloud services. It also supports the same range of third-party apps and add-ons that are available for Synology DSM.
Xpenology can be installed on a variety of hardware, including personal computers, servers, and virtual machines. The installation process involves creating a bootable USB drive and then booting the system from that drive. Once the system is up and running, the Xpenology software can be installed and configured through the web-based interface.
One of the main benefits of Xpenology is that it allows users to take advantage of the features and functionality of the Synology DSM software without having to purchase a Synology-branded device. This can be useful for those who have existing hardware that they would like to use as a NAS, or for those who want to build a custom NAS system with specific hardware requirements.
It’s important to note that Xpenology is not officially supported by Synology and its use may violate the terms of service of Synology and may also lead to malfunctioning of the software and hardware, or loss of data.
