내 Synology NAS를 자동화해 매일 튜토리얼을 생성 및 배포

Source: Dev.to

My Stack

• Synology NAS
• Docker + Docker Compose
• Astro (static site)
• Python automation scripts
• Scheduled tasks (cron‑like)

The Automation Flow

Here’s the simplified flow:

1. Scheduled task runs every morning
2. Python script generates tutorials
3. Script validates output
4. Docker Compose runs Astro build
5. Nginx container restarts
6. New content is live

The rebuild takes ~1 minute. The old version of the site keeps running until the container restarts, so there’s no downtime.

Why I Built It

Two reasons:

• I wanted to learn more about automation in a real environment.
• I wanted a self‑maintaining content system.

It’s basically a mini CI/CD pipeline running on a NAS.

The Rebuild Script

For those interested, this is the rebuild part:

#!/bin/bash

Simple, but effective.

What I Learned

• Self‑hosting forces you to understand your stack.
• Automation saves mental energy.
• Small systems compound over time.
• Build in public works — I shared the setup on Reddit and it sparked interesting discussions.

I’m continuing to iterate on this system. If there’s interest, I can write a deeper technical breakdown of the content generation + validation layer. The project is live at tutorialshub.be if anyone’s curious.
