I am not sure what Synology is, so I can't really comment on why it would be too "weak" for TACTIC. The only problem could be with either bandwidth or with latency. As long as the technology maps to the OS as a drive, it should work fine. Celton has mentioned that he has used TACTIC connected to AWS S3.
The basic requirement is that the system can be mounted on the server which is visible and readable/writeble by TACTIC and supports basic Python OS commands such as os.path.exists, os.listdir, shutil.copy, shutil.move and shutil.makedirs. There maybe a few others, but we really have left it up to the OS and Python to deal with the particulars of accessing the file-system. This has lead to a plethora of TACTIC implementations on all kinds of devices.
So, just mount the NAS to a path on the drive and create a folder that is used by TACTIC
/mnt/NAS/tactic
I would put both the assets folder and the temp folder there. These can be configured in the TACTIC config file located in:
<TACTIC_DATA_DIR>/config/tactic-conf.xml
If you don't know where yours is set to, it is usually printed when running TACTIC from the command line:
The first line shows the folder you need.
Finally, all of our system documentation can be found here:
http://community.southpawtech.com/docs/sys-admin/
and you can always ask questions here.
