Managing DSM on behalf of others

Synology
1

Does SpaceRex have any guides on managing DSM on behalf of others? In my case, a not-very tech-literate friend. I will do the initial setup but I’m wondering about things like monitoring drive health, free space, checking that backups are working, and occasionally logging in to troubleshoot issues. I understand the latest item can be a bit more complicated.

I’m gonna set up remote access for them using Tailscale as we’re not interested in exposing this NAS to the internet, via Synology’s relay servers or otherwise.

Thanks,

S.

I think that the most straightforward way to monitor a NAS is to set up Notifications in Control Panel. Make sure that you receive the necessary notifications in your mailbox.
