Installing a Minecraft Server on Synology DSM (Legacy)
Overview
This is outdated information, and I never managed to get this version of Minecraft working anyway. It is saved here for archival purposes only. See Hosting a Minecraft Server on Synology DSM for current information.

Basic instructions can be found here. The instructions at that link are a few years old and document installing on DSM 5.x. I've documented the differences in installation that I encountered below.
