Step-by-Step OMV 7 Tutorial: Remote Backup Essentials - Episode 3

[@HatStand1000]

Really useful video - thanks. Would love to see a tutorial on setting up a backup to something online such as Google Drive, I understand that Docker & Duplicati is the best way to do this, am trying to work out how to best configure this.

[@deivescorvello]

Thank you for the videos in the series, it was timing for me as I just started with my own NAS. Would you be able to cover on how to install immich and how you would go about to access it remotely in a secure manner? Appreciate it!

[@jashmehta2915]

Thank you so much for your walkthrough for setting up OMV. I just set up mine and it’s great. Can you possibly do a video of setting up immich on OMV? Not a lot of resources out there

[@haydenc2742]

Nice! Might look into getting me one of those chairs for work..I am on my butt in a cubicle for HOURS...and the provided office chairs are ANYTHING but comfortable/ergonomic for long term sitting! Neat...it's similar to a "portainer lite" in the docker "services/compose" tab...thanks!!!!!! How "safe" is running a version of watchtower [docker autoupdater] in the OMV 7 setup..will it conflict with the update/prune function or cause issues? Oh...show how to setup a local backup (following the 3,2,1 "backup scheme")...then setup a rsync backup of the entire "backup directory" to another location and maybe offsite [won't the backup fail or error out if it can't reach the SMB share?] Keep em coming!!!!

[@maccaberry1041]

I would love to see how you can deploy and use Immich using docker compose. I know who to deploy directly on debian or portainer. But the Immich website specifically recommends deploying using compose, and obviously I therefore would rather do that inside OMV rather than outside it.

i got a whole issue right now that you are helping with. I have proxmox7 and omv6 and I need to upgrade both and this video series helped me understand what it would take to do my OMV update!

[@testbox3201]

Your fault not keeping your installation not up to date

[@digitalbots]

@@testbox3201 were you never hugged as a child? That's the point that I'm making those updating everything...

Thanks for the 1st 3 parts of your new series ! From my point of view everything is on the spot ! 👍 Q: Are you planning to cover nextcloud and in addition to that making nextcloud remotely accessible as well in up-coming videos ?

[@kerwinfernandes3643]

Please this is much needed.

[@ProfessorMatrix]

Will you also be doing a section on link aggregation? Thank you. Been a great help with setting up omv.

[@psyklist]

Amazing video, thank you. I suppose that running Home Assistant in docker should not be any different than what's listed in their official tutorial for the raspberry pi, right?

[@frankbohnen2347]

Well done, very informative THX

[@citalohammer]

I was beginning "homelabing" with an Asus EEEPC. 100 mbit ethernet, and usb 2.0 external HDD. Software: Openmediavault. So let's get back to the roots 😀

[@kimiko166]

I really like your videos; you definitely deserve more views. Could you please make a video where you run a VM with Home Assistant in OMV? That would really help me a lot.

[@doreenblignaut4077]

Thank you the best video so far to install Docket on OMV, you awsome

[@DBTechYT]

Glad it helped

[@kopparsulfat]

Good video as usual. ☺️

[@DBTechYT]

Thanks!

[@volkerweidmann1805]

Interesting video... ...you shoud use the global environment file... ...it's make it easyer to define every time the same values for the variables... PS. you have forget to set the correct TZ in Bookstack... ;-)

Is there a away to backup to something like OneDrive. I want do offsite backups.

[@awesomearizona-dino]

good morning David, thank for sharing

Good morning!

You are awesome man, such good information & explanation ❤

Great video. I am struggling to get a remotely mounted drive writeable. I currently have OMV7 set up on a rasp pi 3 with a usb drive attached formatted in ext4. This drive is set for read/write/execute. I have a user set up that has read, write access. I can test this by going to another computer and using the account credentials, write to the drive. I have another installatioin of OMV7 set up on bare metal on a laptop. (i'm experimenting) Using the remote mount plug in on the laptop, i am able to mount the usb drive from the pi and share this to my network. However, using an account that has read/write/execute permission on the instance running off the laptop, I am unable to write to the remote drive. When i check the plugin reset permissions, it shows that the permissions are 0755, which is odd since i set it when mounting, r,w,x for everyone( still in testing phase) When going to shared folders on the laptop instance and checking ACL it shows - owner/root, group/root, others read/execute. If i attempt to change these to root/users/other read, write, execute. It seems that it changes, but when I go back into the folder through shared folders and ACL, It is back to owner/root - r,w,x, group/root - rx, others ro. If anyone can offer some assistance that would be fantastic. My use case. I have a media drive set up on another pi running libreelec that automounts the drive. I want to download on the OMV server and then move files to my media drive elsewhere. Somewhat challenging when my other network drive seems to be only read only. I am just getting into OMV and its functionality, I forsee my network changing as I gain more knowledge.

[@Gery-zg7ky]

brother thank you for all your videos, they helped me a lot, you introduced me to docker and containers i didn't know. may your karma bring you luck

[@DBTechYT]

I'm glad the videos are helpful

[@mihalcimihalci4768]

Hii, apreciate you videos, you ask for more, if you can do it tailscale/pihole fore exemple please Tank You!

[@ctbfalcon]

id be interested in Torrent containers. and focus on seeding. need to understand networks so files can be seeded and send.

[@DBTechYT]

Thanks. Unfortunately, I can't do videos about that. Made a video about it in January: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJrTd3yoqZiDrJo And TorrentFreak picked up the story from there: torrentfreak.com/how-youtube-policies-of-the-future-affect-creativity-today-231216/

[@MKBUHDD]

Please do next "Nextcloud with Nginx and Duckdns" on the same setup as Ep4.

[@DBTechYT]

Commenting the same thing multiple times isn't necessary. The KZbin creator dashboard shows me all my comments in a single place in chronological order. I've covered installing NextCloud multiple times over the years with multiple configurations for installing and accessing remotely. My OMV7 videos keep getting fewer and fewer views. Nginx Proxy Manager hasn't been updated in months and currently has 1.4k issues on their Github repository. I understand that the Docker container is being "actively" maintained, but it doesn't seem that the 147 contributors on Github are doing much with it lately.

[@MKBUHDD]

@@DBTechYT I see, but in that case, what is your suggestion as alternative for Nginx? My suggestion to do nextcloud even though I watched many of your previous videos, because you started a new series on omv7 from scratch, so going step by step from zero to full setup on the same machine would be ideal to make sure everything works together well, cause following tutorials from multiple sources cause a lot of conflict between setups, ports and methods to achieve that thing on the viewer machine. My next suggestion (if you willing to do after Nextcloud and Nginx (or its better alternative) is to setup pihole and adblocker for home network, then maybe plex) and at the end some of your best choices of services/apps suggestions based on your taste. However even if you stopped your series where it is now, i will still appreciate what you did/do in your videos cause I learnt a lot of them. Thanks 🙏

@DBTech quick qustion if i wanted to backup my files on my Windows machine to a SMB share on OMV, whats the best way to do this? for free would be perferable. I really dont want to write a command script.
