It’ll be fine. I eventually managed to get a Mac mini to work nicely as a headless docker + VM server. It’s a moster, and averages just 7w of power draw. A neat saving for a solar house (the old nuc 9 was 70w).

It works fine as a NAS, but you need to run Plex on a different server.

You can't run Plex directly off the device like a DS224+ would.

A N100 or other type of cheap hardware will be much better than the synology.

That + a Jonsbo N2 is a great option, it's what I run.
