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!!

📺 Want to use Plex with your Synology NAS Automated Media Server?
In my latest tutorial, I'll show you how to add Plex to your existing Automated Media Server setup using Synology Container Manager.
If you've already followed my Synology NAS Automated Media Server tutorial, this is a great way to expand your setup!
👍 Let me know in the comments — are you using Plex, Jellyfin, or both on your NAS?

If you’re already running my Ultimate Synology NAS Media Server setup, Seerr is a great next addition.
In this video, I’ll show you how to install Seerr with Synology Container Manager, connect it to Jellyfin, Radarr, and Sonarr, and use it to manage movie and TV show requests from one simple interface.

What happens if your Windows SSD fails — or you just want to upgrade to a larger drive without reinstalling everything?
In my latest video, I create a full disk image of my Windows 11 Mini PC, save it directly to my Synology NAS, then replace the original 250GB SSD with a new 500GB drive and restore everything from the NAS.
I also walk through creating the EaseUS Disk Copy Emergency Disk and testing the entire recovery process from start to finish.

I’ve been testing Incogni to see how well it actually handles personal data removal from data brokers and people-search sites.
In the video, I take a look at my real dashboard results, how the removal process works, what the Unlimited plan adds, and some of the limitations you should know about.
So… does Incogni actually work? Watch the video for my take.

If you’re using a UGREEN NAS for your media library, the built-in Theater app may be all you need to stream your movies and TV shows.
In this video, I walk through how to set up UGREEN Theater, create media libraries, customize the interface, and access your media remotely with UGREENlink.
Could UGREEN Theater be a good alternative to Plex or Jellyfin? Check out the video and let me know what you think in the comments!

I just released an updated version of my Synology NAS Media Server Guide that uses a more streamlined Docker Compose setup and Jellyfin instead of Plex as the media player. Check it out!!

If you'd like to remotely access your UGREEN NAS, then you'll want to try UGREEN's built-in UGREENlink. The set up is simple (no changes to your router) and, if you've setup the UGREEN NAS Automated Media Server, you'll be able to remotely access apps like Seerr, Plex and Jellyfin. Check out how to set up UGREENlink in my latest video.
