## Building Nightscout inside your NAS

Don't buy a NAS device just for this, but if you already have one that's worth a try!

You can host your Nightscout site in your [Synology](/vendors/NAS/synology) NAS.  
You can also try with your [QNAP](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zpF6Y3kPQqc9KOsClIQt686HDLhGfFxwz4vGfq8E254/edit) NAS.
