Fix update instructions for Synology NAS

[martinyelland]

Updated instructions for updating Netbird on Synology NAS. Existing instructions executed as-is assume the user is root (with permission to chmod).

• Aligned with the uninstall instructions by first stepping the user into a root shell.
• cd the tmp folder

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Updated Synology upgrade instructions with explicit steps for connecting via SSH, switching to root access, stopping NetBird, and running the upgrade from /tmp.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Synology update instructions now include SSH access, root access with sudo -i, and execution of the upgrade script from /tmp after stopping NetBird.

Changes

Synology update procedure

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update procedure instructions src/pages/get-started/install/synology.mdx	The procedure adds SSH and root-user steps, labels the upgrade-script step, and changes to /tmp after stopping NetBird.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 95488

The update guide now runs downloaded code as root from the predictable /tmp/install.sh path. If another local user can influence that file, the NAS could execute attacker-controlled code with root privileges, so merge should proceed only with explicit owner awareness or follow-up to use a private temporary directory and confirm the supported DSM permissions.

Poem

A rabbit hops through /tmp with care
SSH commands neatly laid bare
Root steps follow, clear and bright
NetBird rests before the flight
The upgrade script runs just right
