This tutorial was a game-changer for me! The explanations were clear, the examples were spot-on, and I finally grasped [ omv extras and portainer] thanks to this video. Highly recommend it if you're looking to [instal openmediavault, omv extras and portainer]. Big thanks to the creator!"
Thank you for this guide : OMV 7.0 has brought up many changes, making many of the old tutorials obsolete... Portainer was much easier to use before... !
Thanks so so very much. This was brilliant. I was able to fully install OMV (albeit OMV 7) though to portainer setup following this vid. Thanks a ton. Now will play 🙂🙃...
Thanks Rob...great video! Liked and subscribed too...I'm checking out your entire channel also. Your instructions just "clicked" with me...please keep putting out these vids :)
Hello, thanks for the feedback. I have been testing the backup option for compose. Once I understand it more, I might be able to make a video about it.
During the first step of installing OMV, you only using proxmox to show us correct? We should install OMV to bare metal, or is it Ubuntu server to bare metal and then OMV?
Hello, yes, the first step in proxmox is just creating a virtulized environment. You can download openmediavault iso and install it on baremetal if that how you want to run it. You should NOT use Ubuntu server to install OMV on top of it. It only supports using Debian. Although Ubuntu is based on Debian, it is not supported by the developers of OMV. If you are installing OMV on baremetal, it eaiser to just download the OMV iso from their site and install it from that iso. After installing it, you can follow my steps on setting up OMV. Hope this helps.
Finally, thanks to your tutorial I was able to set my IP address static! My setup is a Pi5b with radxa penta top hat. I"m gonna start with 2 4TB SSD's and add 2 more in the near future. The purpose for this NAS build is mainly to store my multimedia. I have a Nvidea shield TV Pro with Kodi installed for playing my multimedia, alldough I've installed all the OMV extra's, docker .. I think I won't need it since I don't need to setup a Plex server or whatever on the NAS itself. Regarding file system, would ZFS be a better choice for me? I can start a pool with my 2 drives and add to the pool later on. If you have some tips and tricks that I can use, please do share. Anyway thanks again for making this video, was very helpful for a noob like me. I'll be following your channel 🙂
Hi and Thanks for the sub! Interesting setup. Regarding your 2 4tb SSD, this is a matter of use case and preference. You didn't mention if you are planning to use ZFS RAID 0 or ZFS RAID 1. If you were to use RAID 0, your drives will be seen as one pool 8tb. But in this setup if one of your drives fails, you will lose everything. In this pool configuration you can add more drive to the pool and expand by drive size added. In RAID 1, you will have a mirror of both drives, this adds redundancy. In this configuration you will only be able to use 4tb since SSD are mirror paired. If you were to expand a RAID 1, you would need to add two extra drive of 4tb to have a total space of 8tb usable. Unless you are after specific features available by using ZFS like snapshot etc. I would look elsewhere. If you would like to use both SSD but seen as one, you can look into MergerFS. It is a plugin available for OMV. MergerFS acts like a raid 0 but if a SSD were to fail, only data on that disk would be lost. Also if you go with MergerFS, you can also use snapraid to add a parity drive to be able to rebuild data if a disk were to fail. Just my two sense. Hope this helps. Let me know what you decide. 🙂
@@robwithtech I knew that U are the guy I need to talk to! :-) Raid 0 is just fine. I have an old 6TB Lacie Space Max, nearly full. but that is my backup. MergerFS with Snapraid would be the perfect choice for me! Thank you very much for making time for me, I'm gonna dive into that matter right away. As I said this is all new for me and I love to expand my horizons :-) Something else... Can I merge Home Assistant with OMV ? That would be very interesting ..And please ignore my vocabulary mistakes, English is not my native language. PS Did some research about Snapraid, from the 4 X 4TB SSD drives.. 3 DATA drives and 1 Snapraid parity drive be a good setup for my purpose?
Hello, in my opinion yes. You said you were only using this drives as bulk storage or media storage, that is when mergerfs works best. It will allow you to use both drives right now while you get the other 4tb. Do NOT forget to setup the snapraid parity job to run so your parity data can be created. This normal would be setup to run every week. Depending on your needs. This works well for bulk storage because a lot of your media is stall / not changing. If you are not sure, I would research more, last thing you want is getting more drives and trying to create a zfs raid or mdadm raid. When doing any or those raids, data will be lost. Also don't forget to have backups, raids / snapraid is not a backup. Cheers!
@@robwithtech Hi Rob, I have my 4 4TB SSD drives ready to be mounted in the filesystem (so I go with Ext4 ?), the OMV mergerfs plugin installed, I've also installed the miniDLNA plugin, Is this a good option to stream my stored music to my DLNA-enabled equipment? Now it comes to properly configuring snapraid parity. Like I said before raid 0 is fine. 3 drives for bulk storage and 1 drive as a parity drive. 12 TB of bulk storage is more than enough. If you have any pointers or a tutorial that I can use, please do share. Cheers Erdinç
I'm looking for a miniATX 8-Bay NAS, this OMV looks like a good choice. I checked TrueNAS, but will decide after ck'n more clips on Linux NAS distros. Thanks 👍
Great video very helpful. One question: In your compose yaml file you have CHANGE_TO_COMPOSE_DATA_PATH Where can I find more information on this? Does it pertain to docker in general or is it specific to compose in OMV?
Hello, CHANGE_TO_COMPOSE_DATA_PATH is specific for openmediavault. If you try using that on another system with docker compose. It won't work because it won't find a directory.
hey good work but having issues did everything and when i go the portainer:9443 address it cant be found and have no access, question is do i need this? im just trying to get dockers installed to run plex?
Hey, you don't need a portainer. It is just a web interface to better manage and deploy containers. I included in the video because before, in the older version of openmediavault, there was an install button for portainer. Regarding you not able to access the web interface make sure your put
Thanks Rob. My question is this. Why when I install the services from omv-extras and Portainer in OMV just as you say, following your steps, everything works fine, I change passwords and it accepts them, I start to put it in my language:Spanish, I put my profile... everything is fine. But the next day when I log in again there is no way, it does not accept the passwords I entered, it tells me you do not have access, etc. I have put the same ports that you say and nothing. That's what happens to me with Portainer, and I decided install Yacht, and I has the same results... I can not access it with correct user name and password...I really don't understand it. I want your assist in this matter. Thanks
Hey, and is this a new install omv like the video? Or did you change the permission to the directory where the container are installing. This is a weird issue.
Hey friend. I'm planning to buy a bigger hard drive in the next few months, I use an external one on the Raspberry Pi. Is there any way to move docker with portainer/qbittorrent/plex to the other HD, or do I need to install everything again from scratch?
Hi, your video is great and I sincerely thank you for it. Since you published it in January, have you found the possibility to make a script that does everything you do in your video?
Thank you, I appreciate it. Regarding the script, I have never looked into it. But you got me thinking. Even if I were to find a way to create something, I would run the risk of openmediavault changing something and for people to use a faulty script.
@@robwithtech You're right. But if your script is only for one version, you put it in your comments and then anyone who has a problem just has to use the same version as you. It's a shame that the team that takes care of Open Media Vault hasn't integrated it into their database...
Thank you for this, this and this only made it possible for me to go from nothing to have things setup! Could you viddeo for installing any other app then Portainer, please!
@11:59 I already have a EXT4 listed with /dev/sda2 and it shows 98.30 GiB available and 4.21 GiB used. It will not let me another as nothing shows when I click the arrow under Device* Select a device... so perhaps this is what is causing me issues Absolute Paths not showing the long names like yours shows?
Hello, I did some testing. I see what you mean now. If you are only using 1 drive, your shared folder will just show as /data if the folder name is data. You can use that path as normal. When you add a secondary disk and create shared folders, it will show the long absolute path.
@@robwithtech Thank you for the fast reply Rob! OK so now setting up my VM for HAos I have two pools under KVM: isos and volumes and under KVM Volumes I also have 2 Volumes setup, under isos I have haos_ova-12.3.qcow2, and under volumes I have volumes.qcow2 with isos set at 32GB and volumes at 50GB. When I go to KVM ISOs tab I show no ISO listed even though I copied over the haos_ova-12.3.qcow2 file over to the isos folder that is shared on my network and I can see on my Windows 11 File explorer? So of course when I go to setup the VM in KVM I show nothing in the Optical Drive pulldown so I am stuck. 🥺
@@robwithtech Also would it help if I put a SD memory card in my Intel NUC? I have a SanDisk Ultra 256GB. The NUC has a Kingston 120GB (111.79GB) SSD installed in it.
Hey, the .qcow2 file wouldn't be picked up in the iso file since it is not an iso. That is an image file. So you would have to create a folder in the volumes and add it there. When you create your vm storage of the vm, you link it to the .qcow2 file.
Very good video! OK so i have a question, how do you update Portainer?? I see there is a new version available, do you have to do it thru the cli? Tks.
Hello, you can stop the container and then highlight portainer and find the pull button on the top to pull the new image. After that, start it back up. You can download a backup file of portainer in case you run into any issues. (Menu select settings, scroll down to backup section) This only backups up portainer database and any stack files deployed from portainer. Hope this helps.
Hello, it is common practice to set a static IP address to any machine that will be hosting services. In this case OMV is going to be a NAS (Network Attached Storage). Last thing you want is for your network share to get disconnected because DNS to fail to resolved the changed IP address. It is fine to use the hostname to access your OMV after you setup your static address as this IP address will not change. Hope this helps.
Hey Rob, when I tried to SSH into OMV with the user I created wtih SSH and Sudo permissions I tried putting in the plugin 'wget' command but still asking me to use sudo along with the 'wget' command after I enter it . I tried to SSH in with root , I gave OMV permission to login as root before this, but still denies me to enter in as root in SSH. Please let me know if you can help, thank you.
Hello, when you create a user on OMV and you put the user in ssh and sudo group. You will always have to use sudo to invoke root momentarily for that command that is normal. The ssh group is used to allow the user to ssh to the machine. By default, OMV allows you to use root to ssh, I am not sure why you can't ssh with root. You can check the ssh config file (/etc/ssh/sshd_config) to make sure PermitRootLogin is set to yes (PermitRootLogin yes). Please let me know if you getting it working. Thanks.
@@robwithtech OK I see thank you, sorry been busy at work, I realized that if you don't take root off the group permissions for said user, it for some reason not allow you to use sudo, even if you have permitted sudo and ssh in that group for that user, not sure why that's the case but it worked that way. I am continuing with your video, thank you much.
I'm so close to getting a docker working on OMV but I'm stuck on the error message at 22:03 - OMV refuses to save changes after applying again / reloading. It's a very similar error message but at the bottom it says ID: docker Function: service.running Result: False Comment: The named service docker is not available Started: Any suggestions on what I can do to try and fix this?
If you go to services, compose, setting on the bottom you have docker information. Do you have docker installed and running or is it showing blank? If it is not running try clicking reinstall docker and see if that gets it installed. Let me know if this works.
@@robwithtech I've tried reinstalling the docker but it comes back with Summary for debian ------------- Succeeded: 11 (changed=1) Failed: 2 "Connection Lost" I'm thinking could it be because I installed the Stable version of OMV instead of latest? I could try redoing the entire OMV install
thanks rob, i followed all your steps but which i clicked "up", a really long error message showed up, the end of it is "Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: cgroup namespaces aren't enabled in the kernel: unknown ", do you know how to solve it?
I am not sure what the problem is. Did you make sure the compose file is exactly the same? You can click on my github account in the description and go to docker Compose, and then portainer and open the .yml and copy and paste to make sure there is no typo. I am assuming you changed the uid and gid to the user you chose to use?
@@robwithtech yea i followed all steps and do the yml according to your github, and changed this uid/gid based on id xxx command , still no luck. seems many people having the same problem
Hello, once you assign a folder for app data in the compose settings. You can add a folder name to be created after CHANGE_TO_COMPOSE_DATA_PATH. In this example, I didn't create the portainer folder, but since i put it part of the path, the folders that don't exist get created. Hope this helps.
Hello, the reason for the error is because of the file permission on compose folder or the appdata folder. Go to Shared Folders, highlight compose folder and click on the top check mark it says "access control list" and make sure the owner is root, Group is users, permission should be read/write/execute for other read/execute. Repeat this steps on appdata folder as well. Let me know if this works for you. Sorry for the late reply
Hello, you can only if you first created it with the docker compose file. If you didn't it, you can go ahead and take a backup within portainer and then start portainer with the docker compose file and restore it from there.
How did you create portainer? Did you use a compose file in omv? Because if you did, you can just turn off the container and pull the new image. But i would recommend you to take a backup from portainer just in case if things go south.

Why use a static IP address when you can just use hostname?

Last thing you want is for your network share to get disconnected because DNS to fail to resolved the changed IP address.

Hello, when you create a user on OMV and you put the user in ssh and sudo group. You will always have to use sudo to invoke root momentarily for that command that is normal. The ssh group is used to allow the user to ssh to the machine. By default, OMV allows you to use root to ssh, I am not sure why you can't ssh with root. You can check the ssh config file (/etc/ssh/sshd_config) to make sure PermitRootLogin is set to yes (PermitRootLogin yes). Please let me know if you getting it working. Thanks.
@@robwithtech OK I see thank you, sorry been busy at work, I realized that if you don't take root off the group permissions for said user, it for some reason not allow you to use sudo, even if you have permitted sudo and ssh in that group for that user, not sure why that's the case but it worked that way. I am continuing with your video, thank you much.
Glad you were able to get it working.
I'm so close to getting a docker working on OMV but I'm stuck on the error message at 22:03 - OMV refuses to save changes after applying again / reloading. It's a very similar error message but at the bottom it says
ID: docker Function: service.running Result: False Comment:
The named service docker is not available Started:
Any suggestions on what I can do to try and fix this?
Hello, what device are you running OMV on? Would it happen to be a 32bit version of raspberry pi?
@@robwithtech Hi there, it's actually a Beelink Mini PC (EQ12 N100)
If you go to services, compose, setting on the bottom you have docker information. Do you have docker installed and running or is it showing blank? If it is not running try clicking reinstall docker and see if that gets it installed. Let me know if this works.
@@robwithtech I've tried reinstalling the docker but it comes back with
Summary for debian
-------------
Succeeded: 11 (changed=1)
Failed: 2
"Connection Lost"
I'm thinking could it be because I installed the Stable version of OMV instead of latest? I could try redoing the entire OMV install
Did you enable docker repo? On the system, then omv extra. Make sure you checkmark docker repo and try again.
thanks rob, i followed all your steps but which i clicked "up", a really long error message showed up, the end of it is "Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: cgroup namespaces aren't enabled in the kernel: unknown ", do you know how to solve it?
I am not sure what the problem is. Did you make sure the compose file is exactly the same? You can click on my github account in the description and go to docker Compose, and then portainer and open the .yml and copy and paste to make sure there is no typo. I am assuming you changed the uid and gid to the user you chose to use?
@@robwithtech yea i followed all steps and do the yml according to your github, and changed this uid/gid based on id xxx command , still no luck. seems many people having the same problem
Can you copy the whole error so I can research?
do you need to create the portainer folder and file ,as specified in the path?
Hello, once you assign a folder for app data in the compose settings. You can add a folder name to be created after CHANGE_TO_COMPOSE_DATA_PATH. In this example, I didn't create the portainer folder, but since i put it part of the path, the folders that don't exist get created. Hope this helps.
w
Apply again dont at 22:03 don't work for me :(
Hello, the reason for the error is because of the file permission on compose folder or the appdata folder. Go to Shared Folders, highlight compose folder and click on the top check mark it says "access control list" and make sure the owner is root, Group is users, permission should be read/write/execute for other read/execute. Repeat this steps on appdata folder as well. Let me know if this works for you. Sorry for the late reply
i forgot the admin password. what can i do now?
Hello, SSH to openmediavault using the root user and run type omv-firstaid. You will see an option to reset the admin password.
can i update my portainer any time like show in your video ?
Hello, you can only if you first created it with the docker compose file. If you didn't it, you can go ahead and take a backup within portainer and then start portainer with the docker compose file and restore it from there.
I want only update my portainer version from 2.18.2 to 2.19.4 in OMV 6.9@@robwithtech
How did you create portainer? Did you use a compose file in omv? Because if you did, you can just turn off the container and pull the new image. But i would recommend you to take a backup from portainer just in case if things go south.

Hello, I already have a video showing plex on my channel. I am planning to remake it since that video is blurry.
