Install it in a VM and keep the VM in your NAS  
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

The point of the NAS is to host installer files and not clobber it with anything that's not static. I need to use my VMs, so they don't belong on the NAS.

I am not telling you to use the VM in your NAS.
I am telling you to have a backup of your fully installed (but still clean) VM in your NAS.
At least that's what I do, as it was an backup image of my system parition. From time to time, I copy it back to PC, install updates, and copy back to external drive.
I have a minimalistic installed OS as base VM and a couple more with different constellations of software.

In the atomic age even the tinies are exspected to kno all about komputer science. so much so that ks is now on the carikulum along with more trad. subjekts like fr., maths, algy, geog, hist, lat. ect. ect.
this can come as somthing of a shock for the unprepaired espeshally when some mad master sa "yes boy but is it turin komplete?" or "do you think this algyrythm is enpee 2?" and you hav to admit that you arent rely sure.
to help you with this, here is a bit of the molesworth peason giude to komputer science (full edish grabber and grabber 2/6d or postal order to peason entaprises)
1) turin kompleteness
turin is in Italy as any fule kno so we can sa something is turin komplete if it kontain spagetti or it rides a moped.
Fotherington-Thomas sa "no molesworth, it is more komplicated than that" but he is a wet and a weed and sa things like "hello clouds, hello sky" all the time so i will ignore him
2) enpee kompleteness
something is called enpee komplete if it so tuogh that even grabber caren't sort it - grabber may hav a face like a squished tomato but he kno all about komputers and hav a mycrosoft sertified pro in rafia work.
it also hav something to do with traveling napsak salesmen but i could not sta awake thruough that bit chiz, chiz
3) big 0
big 0 is exsactly how komplicated something is. molesworth 2 sa that plaing fairy bells on the skool piano is big 0 log square to the power of a billion zillion but if that is so why carn't the little tick pla any simpler tune - like one that is only 0 log square to the power of a few like twinkle twinkle little star ect.? he is a 1 trick poney and hav no brane and i am embarased to be realted to him. 0 log squared to the power of a gazilion BOOS to molesworth 2.
to be continewed wen i hav lurnt a bit more and am not in deten for tuoghing up the new ticks.

It's inspired by four of the finest books ever written (Down With Skool, How to be Topp, Whizz for Atoms! and Back in the Jug Agane by Geoffrey Willans and Ronald Searle).
They're a brilliant satire on British school life in the '50s (and every bit as applicable to the British school I went to in the '80s, to be honest).
Not sure whether they're terribly well known outside the UK but they're much loved here.

It looks like something you'd see on modern social media sites...

Wait a sec. Molesworth? I've been tempted to apply for a job there....I think it's still being advertised.
I just wasn't looking forward to having to learn a new language.

Those books were such a part of my life and though processes when I was at skool.

i stopped reading because of the 'k's
I can't handle it.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Indeed... Like Krab with a K at the local grocer... It must be fake!!!

First thought: Do you write this way on purpose, or do you need a new keyboard?
Edit:
I should have read the answers first

I click on the link and first thing I see is an ad that promises me tons of loot. Bad idea. I take such things literally.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

It's a YouTube link. Youtube periodically shows you ads, unless you have Premium. Nothing I can do about that, maybe you should watch less Youtube... 
One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know.

To activate the transtemporal fugue of neurons that will enable time-travel, and reveal your future language ... so you can miss it in the present ... i.e., to correct the temporal anomaly in the hallucinated present that pixelates the actual future into low-fi static ... I suggest you listen to this several times at a playback rate of .25: [^].
Caution: do not worry if the song played at so-called normal speed reminds you of a certain Witch's epic self-psychoanalysis, now in progress on the Lounge: this reaction is not unusual.
And, now that you have seen your future language, rising like a phoenix from what you now see as the toy-languages of the past, and present ... please share what a typical code fragment will be like.
Here's a sample of what I saw up then:
Application: WebSite: Photo Gallery, E-Commerce, Social Media Shyte, Porn Filter: MyPhotos
=> Gimme
Maybe it's my failing eyes, or just age, or hardened cynicism, but, dang me if I can see anything that looks like what we call today: "code."
Hopefully, what you see will be more detailed !

That was not something I ever expected to hear - but I'm glad I did!
Excellent - Thanks Bill!

Ancient programmer: a string is a series of characters ending in a null terminator.
Modern programmer: a string is an object the size of Wales.
Future programmer: maybe the ancients weren't so stupid.

They will do what they all have done: Commit every old sin a totally new ways and pat themselves on the back for being much smarter than those before them. How else could you explain something like JavaScript? Or BASIC? Or (longer list)...
