Welcome to the Digital Aloha YouTube channel!
During the second year of the pandemic (2021) I started this YouTube channel, originally named Digital Aloha Tech Tips, where I create video tutorials mainly on services and applications that one can run on a Synology NAS.
Since then the channel has steadily grown and many of the comments I receive are that my video tutorials are very comprehensive and complete, helping viewers get past issues in their setup.
Going forward I’ll continue to release comprehensive tutorials covering Synology NASs and I welcome you to check to my videos, as well as subscribe to the channel if the videos are helpful. I'm also looking to expand into complimentary niches, such as Synology routers, cloud services and other NAS brands.
Also, check out my website (link below) to request a tutorial or hire me to consult on your project. Lastly, if my videos provide value consider supporting my work by Buying Me A Coffee (link below).
Thanks so much!!

In my latest video tutorial, I go over securing a Synology BeeDrive with full disk encryption on MacOS. If you're looking for a portable backup solution, I highly recommend the Synology BeeDrive AND encrypting it for better privacy and security.

For all of you Plex users, in my latest video I go over how to enable hardware transcoding on a UGREEN NAS that has an Intel CPU with integrated graphics. With hardware transcoding enabled you reduce the load on the CPU allowing for smoother playback and better overall performance.

If you're running Jellyfin on a UGREEN NAS, you may want to enable hardware transcoding if you're CPU has integrated graphics. This will allow for reduced CPU load, smoother playback and better overall performance. Learn more about hardware transcoding in Jellyfin in my latest video.

If you want a simple and secure way to remotely access your UGREEN NAS, home LAN, or home network, then you'll want to check out my latest video where I set up Tailscale on a UGREEN NAS using Docker.
In the video I go through:
- Installing Tailscale with Docker
- Accessing your NAS remotely with no port forwarding
- Setting up subnet routing to allow access to your home LAN
- Configuring an exit node for full traffic routing through your home Internet

In Hawaii, where I am from, the word Mahalo commonly means "thank you", "gratitude", or "appreciation". As the channel passes 10K subscribers I want to extend my MAHALO to all of you that have and are supporting the channel!!

If you are using PrivadoVPN as your VPN service provider and setting up the Synology NAS Automated Media Server (see linked video) you'll notice that the qbittorrent-gluetun project, and specifically the GlueTUN container, will need to use SERVER_CITIES instead of SERVER_REGIONS. For some reason server regions isn't available anymore through PrivadoVPN. Look for the updated docker-compose.yml and .env file in the pinned comment and description, respectively.
Leave a comment in the video if you run into any issues or have any questions about the change.

In my latest video, I go over setting up Seerr on a UGREEN NAS, integrating it with Jellyfin, Radarr and Sonarr. Seerr is a free and open source application that manages requests for movies and tv shows and is a perfect add-on application to the UGREEN NAS Automated Media Server that I went over a few months ago.
