Best Synology Replacement? (lemmy.zip)

I have a DS220+, which frankly I love, but I’m looking to replace it soon. It only has 2 drives, Synology is pulling some fuckery with needing their branded drives and I’m staying on the 6.x firmware given what I’ve seen/heard with 7.x

All that being said, I’m trying to find something that is:

At least 4 bays
Small form factor (it shouldn’t be much bigger than the drives it’s holding)
Capable of running Docker
Capable of backing up to an S3 bucket
Capable of backing up Windows Clients
Habe a decent GUI (I can do CLI, but frankly, don’t want to)

I was thinking potentially QNAP, but didn’t know what else is out there. I really do like Synology and would have looked at one of their models but their vendor lock in move ticked me off. Maybe finding a used 420 or 920?

FWIW, I used caddy on my unit, and it’s working quite well. But I’ve also had caddy running on the VPS the NAS replaced, so it wasn’t exactly a novelty.

Happy to help if there are things you’re struggling with.
