#Setting up devonthink to go with synology pdf#

The part I love is the ability to link to any pdf easily and it works on iOS/iPados/macOS.

Its a super powerful app, but while DTTG is usable I’m already running into issues (inbox files don’t stay in sync, no integration with PDF Expert on iOS/iPadOS, weird apple pencil response, and known document editing issues on mobile).

I am currently in my trial period of Devonthink. What I am struggling with is document management, predominantly ocr’d pdf of documents, financial info, and emails that are converted to pdf. I will likely end up using apple notes, obsidian, or a combo of the 2 for note taking. I go back and forth on obsidian, I like some features and hate others. As I spend a majority of time on iOS devices and I see the idea of having the note hub as the “sparkyos” and then linking out to the appropriate app this seems to be the nail in the coffin for onenote for me. Also with the onenote “copy link to page” going to apple notes it doesn’t recognize the onenote:// link just the weblink on mobile (I think because apple notes doesn’t access rtf links). Also had some data loss previously and can’t keep local copies.

I am not a fan of the Mac onenote experience, and am more and more wanting to be able to get PDFs out of onenote which is hard. My favorite has been onenote as work uses PC, I like its Apple Pencil integration and I really am more of a folders than tags guy. Note apps I have not been settled on one. Using a lot of linking of notes to tasks, find this to be very useful. Sold on apple reminders for tasks, does more than enough and with iOS 16 updates will be great (with occasional good task use for more advanced features). However, all this falls out of the scope of this post.Adjusting my workflow to try to be a bit more efficient, but would like some help, opinions, recommendations from the group. You could add things like reverse zones, static names for local machines. Google has a nice description for all major OS-es, which you can adapt to use your own (ISP's) servers. Since most if not all OS-es allow multiple DNS servers, you gain the most by having your DiskStation as the first entry.Īctual setting up your computer depends on your OS. The idea is to point your machine to the IP address of the DiskStation (to use your freshly configured DNS service) - hence the advice above the IP address should be fixed. The resolution tab in the DNS Server configuration has everything:Īll you need to do is enable the resolution services and fill up the fallback DNS servers. Second, you need to configure a fallback DNS for looking up unknown names. However, if you set up your local machine to point to it and try to find an external site, it'll fail. Master DNS Server: your DiskStation's IP address (192.168.0.110 in my case).I picked up 'home.local' in case I'll add other machines by name (e.g. The simplest configuration has only a few steps. Once it's installed, make sure it's up and running.

Once you have that, you can log in on the DiskStation console and install the DNS server package. Optional but recommended: make your DiskSTation's IP address a static one.An internet connection (no proxy preferably).All ISPs have their own, but you can get Google's too I have a DS1515+, but AFAIK any will work There are, of course some prerequisites to all this: So, here is a simple tutorial to set up the DNS on your Synology box. Why? Because once the request is in the cache, it's much faster :)

The last days I tried to set up a local DNS cache thing on my Synology, just to use up the CPU a bit more.
