Dear colleague,
I just buy a NAS Synology with a DSM 7.0 (system) installed by default (systematic from July 2021) & my moodle was developped on a 3.9 version.
When I forced the NAS to "upgraded" from 7.0 to 6.2, the Server automatically move from 6.2 to 7.0.
We know that Moodle only work on 6.2 but please do you have any idea when Moodle will move to be compatible with DSM 7.0 ? Planning ? Forecast ? ....
Thanks in advance
Best Regards

Full disclosure ... qualifications for this response ... none for NAS Synology any version - but have had many years experience with Moodle going as far back as 1.3 or 1.4 of Moodle.
From what you've described, it sounds like the 3.9 you had running under older Synology 6.2 was installed by a Synology package (software) manager.
Moodle runs under MySQL/MariaDB, Apache/Nginx, PHP versions 7.0 -> 7.4 + php extensions and on Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS/RedHat quite well and with no real issues in upgrading.
So on your server can you not get the MySQL/MariaDB or Apache/Nginx, PHP needed to run higher than 3.9 of Moodle?
Maybe this:

will help.

Am still not clear (understand) on what you've done Synology wise, but if ... IF ... you are migrating the site, please see Moodle docs on migrating:
https://docs.moodle.org/311/en/Moodle_migration
While url is to 311 info is almost the same for 3.9.
If you've copied files from old site and have them in the new, that should include the config.php file ... which is key. The database should also be migrated ... normally. As well as moodledata.
In config.php, there are values defined ... the DB server, the URL to access etc. Does your config.php file need to be changed to reflect the new location of your Moodle?
Again, see url above.
