This PR adds documentation for installing ZeroTier directly on Synology NAS devices without Docker. This method is particularly valuable for ARM64-based Synology models where Docker (Container Manager) cannot be installed. - Added comprehensive instructions for compiling and installing ZeroTier - Updated sidebar to include the new documentation - Added reference in existing Synology doc to the direct install method - Includes version-agnostic installation approach for future-proofing - Added compliance statement regarding human-in-the-loop review
This PR adds comprehensive documentation for connecting devices that cannot run ZeroTier directly (like Synology NAS with DSM 7.x+) to ZeroTier networks through physical network integration. This approach is the recommended solution for devices where direct installation is not possible due to OS restrictions. This documentation was created in response to Synology's restrictions in DSM 7.x+ that prevent direct installation of ZeroTier due to removal of root access.

We have a similar doc here https://docs.zerotier.com/integrating-physical-networks |
|
Given the link that @laduke posted above that already exists in the docs site, I think that makes this change pretty redundant |

Add documentation for connecting non-ZeroTier devices to ZeroTier networks
This PR adds comprehensive documentation on connecting devices that cannot run ZeroTier directly (such as Synology NAS with DSM 7.x+) to ZeroTier networks through physical network integration. The guide provides detailed instructions for both Layer 2 (bridging) and Layer 3 (routing) approaches, with specific examples for NAS devices and other common scenarios. It also updates the existing Synology documentation to reference this approach as the recommended solution for newer DSM versions where Docker isn't available.
Key additions:
This documentation addresses a significant user need by providing clear instructions for integrating devices with restricted OSes into ZeroTier networks.
