Zero $ Home Server : Complete Openmediavault 6 Install

[@panpanluo]

It's good to see you, tech dad. I am using PVE 8.0 + OMV 6 + Docker + Wireguard + Handbrake in docker + Ubuntu Server + pfsense and more. I learnt a lot from you. Thank you!

[@TechnoDadLife]

Sounds great!

[@DucTrinh-ud1ch]

Good to see you still doing these

[@zek62482]

Nice to see OMV getting some love!

[@Joseph-q4y5y]

Thank you very much for taking the time to create this video, big help. It would have taken me 3 months to do this. really appreciate it.

[@etritrakaj]

Excellent tutorial, like always 👍👏 My new OMV on my old and quite slow (for Windows) Mini PC with Celeron N4000 and just 4GB RAM (not upgradeable) is working like a charm! Thank you!

[@burnitdown-s9s]

Hi, have you had a chance to make the video showing how to add docker containers? Really looking forward to it. Thanks, and happy new year.

[@CarlosBognar]

This video is amazing, and helped me installing the main plugins and Compose. Thank you.

[@elblanco5]

oh wow, this literally just saved me countless hours of banging around in the GUI. Great video and thanks!

[@AndreasStuben]

I took a 9 year old Dell Optiplex 3020 Micro (free) and got a 4T 2.5 disk from Amazon $100 for this project - fun! This was my first run at OMV and Docker, worked out fine.

[@bridgetrobertson7134]

Thanks, Dad. I like seeing OMV6 stuff even though I've been too lazy to upgrade from 5. One day I'll get around to it.

[@TechnoDadLife]

Not many reasons to upgrade until it goes end of life.

[@Wallace1090]

thank you for this video , it was so helpful. I tried running truenas core first then scale and it was a messed from the iso's to the drives.I love how simple you made everything

[@MH-fg6we]

Finally abandoning my old Windows 7 Media Server. Built NAS with AMD R5 5600G 32 GB w/4-8TB drives using OMV 6.9.11-3. Any chance you'll demonstrate how to install Plex in a container on OMV any time soon? Your OMV 6 install video was extremely helpful but scratching my head on the next step for installing Plex.

[@rcdenis1]

An old laptop is ideal for this. You get a monitor, keyboard and ups in one unit.

Thank you technodad, you’re the best

[@emammadov]

This is a super helpful tutorial. Thanks, mate!

[@kenmorris2858]

Great tutorial, cheers from Nova Scotia

[@rowang5464]

Thanks Great tutorial

[@TechnoDadLife]

Glad you liked it

[@wilsmith7173]

great stuff, I had OMW6 install on my Promox box as a VM, so it was good to follow through with adding the 'omv-extras' 'compose' installs and other tips. Really enhances the experience. My only 'questionable' would be using Fing to find your IP. I found that program invasive, soz. I would a run a command in the shell to find the IP. But a good thumbs up and I subscribed, have a great holiday!

[@LymanPhillips]

Agreed. You could probably find this by logging into your router and viewing attached devuces.

[@YuTaGi]

OMV Still gives the system IP upon launch, I'm unsure why it didn't for him.

[@NGXG18]

Great tutorial. Any suggestions on nested share? Ie. Parent folder shared. Child folders. Nasshare/Doc, nasshare/media, and so on. Also permissions/acl?

[@TechnoDadLife]

Yes

[@carnby24]

[@masqu666]

[@johna1099]

Great tutorial -thank you!! Any chance you would consider doing a follow up video showing how to set up photo prism on omv 6?

[@kopparsulfat]

Good video as usual. 👍👌

[@volaryu]

thanks, was looking for something like this, one question I have is regarding portainer, the omv extras wiki is telling us just to use the compose plugin instead, also do you have any guides on installing the docker containers for plex, torrenting, usenet, and the arr suites? sometimes the folder and settings confuses me

[@toenytv7946]

as always thanx

[@thomazzzzi]

Hi! Can you show how to setup home assist supervised? In portainer for example? Than you for your videos!

[@thomazzzzi]

i am trying to set it up in KVM addon but cant get the network settings right

[@Atomsk0192]

After creating a share I can't access my server from my network

[@HerdyMertadinata]

omv good choise for home server

[@diegkol]

Thank you for all you guides. Easy to follow and always correct. Question: How can I backup (or sync) my local OMV (more specific shared folders) to the cloud, maybe to an S3 compatible bucket as it is quite cheap? Video would be appreciated.

[@scmiller2421]

Just wanted to start off by saying I love your channel. I had a quick question about OMV on Raspberry Pi 5. I know the product is new. I am planning on replacing my Pi3B+ OMV 6 (64-Bit) with a Pi 5. But there isn't any documentation on OMV and Pi 5. Will you be posting a video on Pi5 and OMV any time soon? Keep up the good work, and thank you.

[@TechnoDadLife]

I think it would be better to get a mini PC, rather than a Pi 5. A mini PC actually costs less (when you include everything that you need to buy for the Pi) and is generally faster and just as efficient. Here is just one example:amzn.to/3NBfvx6. They are going on sale all the time, so shop around a little.

[@vitoswat]

6:21 the system showed ip address but it was ipv6. Probably it should show both

[@johndesousa7379]

OMV didn't work for me. It would only show 108 GB when I had two 4 TB HDD's in mirror mode.

[@meneguzzo68]

Thank you for great tutorial. If may ask , the setup is long is there any way to create a snapshot of the openmediavalut setup, so that if I break something I can restore it in a sec ?

[@TechnoDadLife]

The easiest way to make a snap shot of the whole thing is to install in a virtual machine. You can alos keep your media disks separate from your install disk, so you would only have to reinstall if you borked everything.

[@luigitech3169]

I use Debian + Cockpit but OMV6 is also very nice and fullfeatured

[@caspersmith7112]

F12 for boot media is lots of pcs, if already go. most newer computers are uefi bios automaticly

[@alessandromontemurro195]

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to passthrough my NVME drives to OMV on proxmox

[@AndyKunkel]

It keeps going to grub> after the install, idk what to do

[@deadlinerhorus]

maybe the dhcp lease did not pull, any error message?

[@REVOLSAMI]

how do you screenrecord while on bios?

[@TechnoDadLife]

I have an ATEM.

[@NotTeganQuinn]

my system won't boot on initial reboot after install, it says Start PXE over IPv4 then gives PXE-E18 Server response timeout, then attempts same thing via IPv6 and gets same error. Ive tried installing other nas software but none of the install images will even boot

[@NotTeganQuinn]

figured it out, had to disable secure boot

[@burn22m1]

thank you for this video . Can you make a video on container deployment by service compose , example dozzle, transmission etc. thank you. 👍

[@matthewplehn4271]

6:18....IPv6?....cant type that whole thing in i guess

[@markharrison6962]

Thanks for another great tutorial! I am interested in the ZFS plugin for OMV6. You did a ZFS video a while back in OMV5, are you still using it? Is ZFS save in OMV6? Thanks again, Mark.

[@TechnoDadLife]

I am not using the zfs plugin anymore.

[@metanulski]

Here are the parts that did not work: 1. At 12:49 WeTTy gives me a: "Permission denied, please try again" Error. Login works on the Server, but not on WeTTy. 2. At 18:43 Enable Home Directories gave me this error Message :Can't share user home directories because they are not enabled. 3. At 19:25 The new Share is avalable but needs a username and password to access it. :-(

[@TechnoDadLife]

1. You are putting in the wrong password. 2. Enable home directory 3. You need to input user name and password. Post more info to the Openmediavault forums.

[@medmnoomane9126]

I have problem to installa PhpMyAdmin on open media vault .. i Try many image portainer but can't access with it

[@TechnoDadLife]

[@theobarbosa]

Hi, Dad! I followed yout steps to make my OMV server. Now Im trying to install omv-backup 6.1. It Always fails the instalation. You gonna cover this topic?

[@TechnoDadLife]

Post more info to the OMV forums.

[@princexiaomi]

Hi can you help me this ? 1-After installation is completed should i wait for system to reboot by itself or i shut down and restart pc by myself ? Because it seems it takes long time to restart after take out usb and click continue to finish installation. 2- in first boot to omv i can type username admin but i can not type anything for password (openmediavault) . Your video exactly cut at this section . 6:27 😂 Thank you

[@TechnoDadLife]

It does take a few minutes, but after waiting and it doesn't reboot, just hit the power button. I showed the password - openmediavault.

[@ismailbahsyar7830]

Hi mister, i cannot activate/save docker configuration, it said internal server error, even thought i reinstall the OMV 6 again. Any idea? Thanks

[@TechnoDadLife]

You probably have more than one container with the same name. Check that out first. Also post more info to the OMV forums.

[@berkut9158]

Hello. This is a question about openmediavault. If you reinstall the system, will the disks that were made in the RAID1 array remain or do you need to clean it again and make ext4 RAID1???

[@TechnoDadLife]

It depends on how you do it. If they are not your system disks, you can remount them without erasing them.

[@scottb.8523]

Hey Jeff, have you installed OMV 6 on Raspberry Pi 5 yet? If so, does it work without issues? Can we just use your previous guide from a while back (for Pi 4)? Thanks very much

[@random-bearded-user]

RPI5 is running on new Debian (D12) while OMV6 is based on "oldstable" (D11) - so either you will find D11 for RPi5 or will wait for OMV7

[@bandido428]

How do you fix OMV6 with RAID5 having a 1 disk failure. I'm using mdadm? Shall I format from OMV6 the drive in question?

[@TechnoDadLife]

Post your question in the OMV forums.

best home server is Armbian running on Andriod TV box 40 dollars with OMV running headless connecting a USB to powered hub and external hard drives, and you have the cheapest NAS.

[@miguelacosta84]

how did you did it? I have a TX 3 Mini and would be great to put it to good use

[@TechnoDadLife]

You should name your TV box, because they are all so different. I tried to convert one a few years ago. You have to be really careful on which chipset set your box has.

[@TheodoreGoldson]

Hi I have been considering trying omv on raspberry pi, but every video shows them formatting the storage drive on 1st setup. I have my stuff already on an external drive, can it be mounted as a share without losing my data?

Yes, exactly

Your computer is defaulting to ipv6 instead of ipv4. Login and type 'ip a' or 'ifconfig'.
