You can set WordPress to automatically install all plugin updates by simply adding this code to your theme’s functions.php file or a site-specific plugin.
add_filter( 'auto_update_plugin', '__return_true' );

If you also want to automatically update your themes, then you can add another code like this:
1. disable FTP commands from config.php
2. add to config.php
// Update core define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', true );

# reset chown for Synology user nobody
chown -R nobody:nobody /web/wordpress/dir
# reset files and folders chmod in /web/wordpress/dir
find . -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \;
find . -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \;
