Deploy Dogecoin on Synology NAS273

Dogecoin is a fun and friendly open-source peer-to-peer digital currency that is based on the Litecoin protocol and features the likeness of the Shiba Inu dog from the "Doge" meme as its mascot. Since its launch in December 2013, Dogecoin has grown from a niche project into a top-10 cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

As the popularity of Dogecoin continues to grow, more and more people are looking for ways to deploy Dogecoin nodes on their own hardware.
