BillybobBilly 14 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I've been running Emby through Docker since I first set up my NAS and now I see that there is an Emby package straight through Package Center that appears to bypass Docker altogether. I tried installing the package but it looked like there were less configuration options and it didn't recognize my configs (so it was asking me all the first-time installation questions). I didn't bother with getting it all configured again because it already works through Docker... Anyway, my question is this. Can someone give me a brief breakdown of pros/cons to using docker/package for Emby? Ultimately I'm trying to work out ways of making things work a bit more efficiently so my users have a smooth experience using Emby on their various devices.

Luke 35274 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Hi, I generally would suggest the Synology-specific package as that's what gets more testing from us, and Synology also puts it through their own test process as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a new setup/configuration as far as Emby knows. Your other setup is inside a docker container. If you were going to migrate you could copy the Emby folders out of the container. The main reason I'd run native is simplicity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillybobBilly 14 Posted June 21, 2022 Author Share Posted June 21, 2022 To follow up on this, is there any kind of performance benefit to using the Synology package over doing it through Docker? More efficient RAM/CPU use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 35274 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Not necessarily. The primary benefit is that the native package gets more of our Synology testing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffeque 32 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I'm assuming 4.7.X will come to Synology's Package Center soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we may not go through the effort of getting it published in Synology package center because at this point DSM 6 usage seems very low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
