Answer 1

Or just go to qnapclub.eu a repository of “unofficial apps” - download it and install through the GUI in app center...

You have to select accept third party apps and you should be good to go..

I was straggling with the same issue on mine QNAP.

I found this tutorial: https://techblog.dorogin.com/running-nodejs-app-on-qnap-nas-via-pm2-3bdb838524e4 written by Sergei Dorogin.

Highly recommend you to install pm2 which is production manager for node.js https://github.com/Unitech/pm2

It took me around 3hours to set up everything, because I'm not good with Linux

I haven't played with this yet, but it seems like using Container Station to install an official Node.js Docker image is the way to go. This gives you a complete preconfigured Linux environment to run Node in.
