I have a Synology DS 920+ and amd very new to setting up a media server for viewing photos, videos, etc.

Can you all help me get going with the best platform for media streaming phones, TV and PCs?

Also, any other cool things I can do for photo and video editing right on the NAS/media server plus other fun apps and things I can do.

Thanks!!

Look at using docker, one of the tool that would help you the most is Portainer

For media sharing : Plex and Jellyfin are the most used, there is Emby too. you can try and see wish one suits you the most.

And u/thekrautboy already mentioned : https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

Photo/Video editing would be limited due to the cpu on the machine so be aware :)

Have fun !
