I like Synology a lot but mainly use it for storage/backup. It's a very expensive way to host containers IMO. I would look to a Mac Mini for something like that.
Thanks. My main use-cases are file/photo syncing, media server, etc. I saw that Synology has first-party apps for those things, so that would be the main draw for me.
Even as a media server I personally find it too expensive to buy one that can handle 4K transcoding, frequently needed for subtitles. I just use Synology to server the files and run Plex on a separate machine.
