# Synology as Block and File storage for OpenShift I was missing a good storage solution for my OpenShift homelab, and then I discovered that [Synology](https://www.synology.com/en-us/dsm/solution/kubernetes) offers [an open-source CSI provider](https://github.com/SynologyOpenSource/synology-csi) for Kubernetes. So decided to try it out: ![[Docs/Synology#Setup CSI provider on OpenShift]] Next time, we will look how to setup a backup solution for [[DevOps 🐧/OpenShift and Kubernetes/Etcd|Etcd]], application manifests and data.
