ProxMenux provides an automated script that creates and configures a VM to install Synology DSM (DiskStation

Manager). This script simplifies the process by downloading and adding one of the available loaders to the VM
boot, giving you the option between three different choices:

You also have the option to add a custom loader if you prefer to modify or create your own configuration.

All loaders are similar although each has its own structure and configuration methods. This guide describes
the 6 basic steps involved in setting up a Synology DSM loader. The exact steps may vary depending on the
loader and/or changes introduced by the developer, so understanding the basic steps similar in all of them
will help you know how to build the loader of your choice for the proper functioning of Synology DS.

Start the VM and Access the Main Menu

Once the VM is created, start it. The first time you boot the VM, you'll access the loader's main menu to
select and configure the DSM model you want to build. Once the loader is created, this step will be skipped
unless you manually force a reconfiguration from the boot monitor.

Keep in mind that available options may change depending on the loader version and developer updates. If you
encounter issues during the loader creation process, consult the loader documentation. ProxMenux does not
provide support for the different loaders.
