Though somewhat off-topic, I do want to offer some broader thoughts about apps - and why I've chosen not to run them.  This is clearly an area where reasonable people will disagree - and I am not arguing against running apps per-se.  But there are some downsides that I think people who are running them should consider.

If you do choose to run apps, my caution is to be very selective about which ones you install (and not to over-do it).  Also make sure you have an up-to-date backup before you install new apps or update firmware.

My initial idea is to essentially buy a Raspberry PI and run docker from there though before I buy on I thought to run and test it on the NAS, I want to keep the NAS clean of any third party items except for Plex/Emby.

I mainly want to run the likes of Radarr, Sonarr and SABnzbd which I created a share for in my /data share. But with the PI I would not need them to be on the NAS I can load them on the PI and run them there and just map the drives to the NAS I believe. I do agree with the upgradability as it is very limited, I wanted to by a Synology NAS but went with the Netgear as it was easily available at the time.
