Still new and trying to learn. I’ve configured my Synology Diskstation with MariaDB and using this for Home Assistant logging. I hope this will reduce stress on my SD-card. My question is that now I want to have InfluxDB and Grafana. The “easy” way is to install these as Add-Ons in Home Assistant, but will I then again get increased wear on my SD-card so that my gain on configuring MariaDB is “lost”?
I wouldn’t use them as addons. Create them as docker containers on your Synology instead and then include them in your config.
Or, alternately, consider changing your sd-card over to either a USB thumbdrive (slightly better) or get a SSD (best).
