OpenClaw on Synology NAS: Telegram Media Requests and Container Management
A developer shared their experience running OpenClaw on a Synology NAS alongside their existing media stack. The setup includes Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, SABnzbd, and other containers, positioning OpenClaw adjacent to the services it manages.
Telegram Interface for Media Requests
Through Telegram messaging, the user can request movies conversationally. OpenClaw handles the interaction by asking for quality preferences, then pushes the request through the media stack to initiate downloads.
NAS Operations and Troubleshooting
The user employs OpenClaw for direct NAS management tasks from their desktop, including:
- Inspecting containers
- Checking logs
- Restarting services
- Comparing mounts
- Diagnosing issues
Specific troubleshooting examples mentioned:
- Tracking down stale SABnzbd configurations lingering in Sonarr/Radarr
- Catching path and mount issues that disrupt imports
- Resolving OpenClaw update problems when containers became partially removed and reverse proxy/gateway configurations became messy
- Fixing bad paths in Sonarr or Radarr
- Removing old download client settings
- Addressing import failures
- Correcting Docker/DSM display issues
The user finds this approach preferable to manual investigation of these common media stack problems.
