First of all: there's no official support for any NAS any more. Neither
support by the NAS vendor nor by Logitech. You're on your own (and the
community).
Therefore it doesn't really matter what NAS you buy. IMHO you have to
options:
- get a powerful NAS which can run LMS in Docker, get familiar with Docker
- get a Raspberry Pi to run LMS on, enjoy the independence, and keep
things simple using eg. picoreplayer.org
Docker:
Pro: single box.
Contra: requires some more technical understanding to work around some
of the challenges (eg. using Spotty in Connect mode), requires a more
powerful (thus power consuming and expensive) NAS. Unless you need the
power anyway this could be more expensive than running an addition
device like the Pi.
Pi:
Pro: total independence, better support (you can run the official .deb
package, or pCP based on the official tarball), less compatibility
challenges (as long as you use the Pi for LMS but nothing else).
Contra: an additional device with more cables.
I'm in the Pi camp, despite having a fat NAS with 16GB of RAM. My music
continues to play while I update or reboot the NAS :-).
