Openmediavault 6 Install and Complete Setup

Great video, many thanks :)

for some reason Open media vault 5 is throwing this error FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/share/openmediavault/productinfo.xml'

Okay, why do you have a sticker with DEL on your DELETE key?

Thank you so much.

I tried using TrueNAS and encountered problems after problems and could not get it to work. I got so frustrated after 24 hours of trying to google answers that cannot resolve my issues. Finally jumped onto Openmediavault and EVERYTHING WORKS FLAWLESSLY on the first try!!! THANK YOU!

Thank you!

root password

So um is a mirror network important

I haved installed OMV 6 and installed the omv extra, but i can't see docker and portainer.

Magnificent!

why are there no new videos by TechnoDadLife???

Awesome! Thank you so much!!!

omv extras doesn't have anything extra.. its just one click and only has "docker repo" with a check mark. did i mess anything up or is this now the new normal? omv ver 6.6.0-1

so i use linux and setup a nfs share but it said "mount point not found" i was sitting there for 5 minutes, and then i choose smb and it works fine now lol

Hi Jeffrey, many thanks for the good work. U got me out of my omv-animosity. Will use yr other videos. Just tossed some EURs over. Better than lots of praises. Anyhow, big thanks.

Wish I found this before stumbling around. At least after a few tries I got everything working well. Bookmarked for future reference!

(ANYONE HELP). I just loaded OMV 6 using a standard 13th Gen intel based motherboard. I loaded wetty then clicked "Open UI". Once at the command prompt I type in "root". The screen goes blank with "reconnect" popping up. I click reconnect and the cycle starts all over. Everything else seems to be working with my install including creating RAID 5 using 3 test HDs.

I want to make a home network but this seems a bit overwhelming

I was following this guide step by step and after making the smb share I'm not able to write to it, but he can. I didn't do anything different! Why??

It took me about 3 hours to follow this 20 minute video. That includes downloading the OMV ISO and burning it to the disk, and formatting the drive. Everything worked. The only departure I made was setting up a user with a login to access the samba share. (I did not leave it open to "guests.")

Seriously, the instructions were great. Thanks.

I had an old HP desktop with room for 2x3.5 inch hard disks. (one for the system drive, and one for data) I5-4690K with 8GB memory. The drives were getting kinda warm, so I had to install an extra fan.

omv-extras no longer has Docker and Portainier in it.

Jeff, I am at the step to get Docker working but Docker, Settings, Portainer and Yacht do not show up after installing OMV extras It has OMC extras on the left side list but no arrow pointing to the right indicating there are any options under it. It also says"Please install the openmediavault-compose to provide docker functionality within the OMV web interface." I installed it from plugins but the options don't show up under omv-extras like your example shows...

Doesn't work at all, fresh installation from the stable iso and omv-extra does not even look like this in the menu.

Been following you since OMV 4 and are now on OMV 6 and it´s been so easy to follow your videos. I have a wish for a videoserie. A setup where we can ask question about OMV 6 and then you answer these qustion in a "WEEKLY UPDATE" or similar. My first question would be. My OMV server has a card reader but how to setup that so I can put in my SD card from my cameras and import from that reader. I have managed to setup it once but then keep asking for that specific card.

Could anyone tell me how to share media files in OMV with VLC on an Xbox?

Hey just to let everyone know OMV-extras plugin released an update today making changes to how the DOCKER install process works and removing PORTAINER and YACHT installer options. IK this is one of the few recent videos with OMV6 so I know many people will get confused trying to follow along please see the OMV forums can't paste a link.

When I run the install command for OMV-extras, there is no drop down settings, portainer, docker, etc... like there is in yours. I used both shift-ctrl-R and rebooted the machine and still not luck. Any ideas?

OMV seems like a great product and your videos on this subject have been invaluable, but I have found Linux {Mint} to have become worse than Windows if that is possible. I have one LM laptop which I've finally got to see and read/write to the OMV server. Then I have another LM laptop which was created using the same thumbdrive ISO as the first one and no way on earth will it Mount the OMV server. It sees it, but complains that it cannot mount the Window's share.

All I needed was a 3rd location to store/share files in a HOME environment and between Linux and OMV they have created a NASA launch control complexity like system rendering it useless for the average user.

What P's me off to no end, is a simple rinky dinky FireStick could easily attach and play videos from the OMV server and took only 2 minutes to set up with a rinky dink remote while 2 laptops took over 5 days and so far only one would connect.

I'll revert to Sneaker Net and a Thumb Drive!

When I was Director of Engineering for over 70 facilities world wide, if I ever wrote code so bad and difficult to use, I would have been fired in a New York minute.

My congratulations without a doubt the best video of the configuration of open media vault 6. Thank you

Hi there, Jeff. I'm gonna use it outside my house, so I didn't allow everyone ( I let it on Admin/user set up). I see the folders in windows, but II can't access them. what should I do? Users are with read/write permission

Exceptional demonstration and guidance, great work

Great until the very end. Once I set Guest permissions to read/write I cannot write any files/folders to the OMV server. Had this problem but not this bad with v 4.X. A total failure for now.

I've installed OMV with 4GB OS disk on Proxmox. Just got an email notice indicating the drive is 90+ % full. I've a blank 3TB WDC passed thru to the same VM. I am sure the passed-thru HDD should not affected the OS drive. Any suggestions?

I have downloaded version 6.0.24, created the installation USB, try if I use an NVME as another USB stick, after checking IPV6, it stays in a blue screen, and does not ask for anything about network configuration..... no does nothing.... any ideas?? I'm using a Gigabyte b150m-d3h ddr3 motherboard, with intel core i5 6500, 12 Gb DDR3 ram...

Hi thank you for the video. i like to know if there is a way to have configure redundancy with USB disk for Openmediavault ?

Amazing tutorial! Thank you so much.

maybe you should do a segment on how to actually access your data

i would like to know how to access this after install and no matter what search parameters i type in all results are how to install the damn thing ive already wasted three days on this thing reinstalling it twice because it crashed after install. for a program that is supposed to be sooo good it sucks if you ask me is it ip address plus :some number ?????

Have been having so many problems with OMV 6 that I am considering going back to OMV5. Is there any advantage to OMV6? The docker and apps will be latest on either. Why upgrade at all? Just for some visual differences? Especially for people with a little older hardware, is there any advantage?

I'm having problem with apparmor. Portrainer won't start.

I want to upgrade from OMV4 to 6. I have to do a clean install, and while I have my data backed up to an external drive. Do I have to format the current drives that are hooked up to my OMV4 system, or will OMV6 recognize the drives and data in the current OMV4 system? My backups are at my parents, so I don't want to go to their place to dig it up and transfer it all to the new OMV6 system. It would be nice if OMV6 will just reconize the current file system of the OMV4 drives that contain my data. I don't have any fancy raid or anything, I just have individual drives. Thank you.

I would greatly appreciate Jeff would do a detailed video for the plugin "autoshutdown" and "wake alert". Finding help configuring them, would be great! Furthermore the plugin "reset file permission" does appear to be severe buggy, so i had to delete it for retrieving proper functions (applying file permissions does not work anymore while having it installed)!

I installed OMV 6 over a year ago, but your videos for OMV 5 helped a lot.

Hi All,

Followed this helpful tutorial but portainer did not launch from the UI.

Solution I found online to fix this is follows.

run the following in wetty

apt install apparmor apparmor-utils auditd

restart docker

then reinstalling portainer. I removed data and portainer.

Then i reinstalled from OMV extras and was then able to access the web UI.

Hope this helps.

Rob
