Great video! Just FYI, Windows now comes with SSH via command line - Putty is still great, but Powershell/CMD SSH is also an option.
Amazing video! Production was great and you paced through the video well allowing it to be followed easily. I plan to build out one of these using a Pi 4 before diving into building my own NAS. Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it! -CB
Probably one of the best videos on an RP NAS I’ve seen yet
Wow! Thanks that really means a lot! -Chris
First video where I fly through the tutorial without errors in the pi, thanks
Awesome! Thanks for watching! -cb
apt-get update your sound quality !
apt update now actually! ;)
@@christopherbarber2377 nerd burn
@@christopherbarber2377 both work, don't they? Also upgrade needs to be done as well?
I literal had my volume turned up all the way and I couldn’t hear him
You forgot to use sudo...
Thanks! I can now say I have successfully finished my first raspberry pi project 😋 (with a salvaged 80gb hardrive from an old Windows 98 laptop 👀) I was concerned about power since it had a 700ma rating on the HDD, and I don't have a powered USB hub, but I encountered no issues.
I think I will get myself a 1tb HDD and enjoy the cloud experience 😊 ☁️
Nice video. Learned a lot and finished my nas. You can increase volume in video editing app.
Great production quality and thank you so much for the helpful content. Hope your channel gets more sub it deserves!!!
Great video! Since I have about 5 ssd drivers sitting around. Would I be able to use a USB external device to connect all of them to one USB on the PI? I think the software you showed would be able to support all the drivers just finding how to connect them all. Plus finding a case for all the drives. Make it nice and clean.
Good video. You could use a little more volume on your video, though.
I'd been looking for a video like this for a week! Super helpful. Thanks!
Good job man, clean video. loving OMV 6
For those who might run into the same issues I did:
User: pi
Password: raspberry
Thank you for sharing it!
I have run a NAS from a 3 B+, I don't recommend it unless in a pinch. Anything below a 4 is going to be a struggle if you want anything above USB 2.0. I personally got tired of the lag in data transfer from my Rpi b3+ and ended up buying a used R720. Sure it's an energy hog, but at less than 100w average its been a great investment with the amount of things I run on it. The Rpi B3+ was a great learning experience, but it couldn't handle the load and I found myself needing to buy more pi's to support the things I wanted to do (not cheap). Granted my R720 isn't cheap either, but I'd rather buy a new drive than another unit and drives.
Good video, it helped me setup a pi 2b , you're right get a pi 4 for the network connection and that's the plan, I'm just using what I got to know what I need to do when I get that pi 4.
Great video. Just one thing, raspberry has actually allowed u to connect to the pi’s ssh via terminal now to by using ssh pi@
Can you encrypt your drives with this NAS setup?
How might one access this NAS outside of home network? would you also consider covering that? thanks
Sound works fine for me 👍🏼
Will this setup be accessible over an internet connection?
As an Audio Engineer, I must say that your microphone placement is in the wrong place therefore you're defeating the polar pattern in support of your desired operation.
Thanks for the video. For a NAS does it make much difference whether you use the 2GB, 4GB or 8GB RAM Rasp Pi 4?
apparently he doesn't reply to questions.
Can a pi be both a NAS (following your walkthrough) and a Plex server simultaneously? I have an 8TB WD powered external USB drive with my library on it, but I'm switching to a laptop-only household and still want to provide my family friends with Plex.
Nice video! You deserve more views dude
Do I have to wipe the drive? I have a lot of stuff on it I'd like to keep to actually access on my network
dude. my god. i've been trying to search for an easy tutorial on this for like a week. thank you! I'm pretty new to the NAS world and have a question. Is it possible to connect 2 external drives to the pi and have 1 just be a backup to the other one?
This might not be exactly what you're looking for, but look into RAID. It's a system where if one of the drives fail, the other one will take it's place. This prevents the NAS from crashing incase one drive fails.
You can look at Rsync to achieve that
Can you use this for a multi bay enclosure with its own power
I'm gonna be real, I've never even touched a raspberry pi, but if the enclosure connects to a computer by usb then you absolutely can.
New drinking game: every time you say "obviously"
Obviously we're getting hammered.
The vertical line you couldn't type is 'pipe', you pass info from one to another '|' usually "shift+backslash" on your keyboard :-)
Would be shift backslash on a US keyboard but I think the RPi defaults to UK keyboard even though I had a US keyboard plugged in. Thanks!
Man such a good content
Glad you liked it and thanks for the support!
Awsome content. I have a rasbreey pi 4 and i was wondering if i can combo multiple projects on it such as retropi and coby, nas, web server and a pi hole at the same time. Is it possible? if so, will the pi handle the load? thank you
simply explained! thx 😉
could you use the sd card as the storage drive?
once I installed OpenMediaVault my raspberry pi 2b goes into a boot loop, please help!!!
Love this tutorial. Thank you
The way you have set this up I was wondering. Is the NAS running within OMV? Within one of the Docker containers? Or alongside it?
I have OMV5 running as a vm in Proxmox using a USB Dock passthrough.. i think i like that setup instead of sacrificing the entire system for OMV5
Which openmedia did you use?
Is it possible to install OMV to pi zero w? is it worth it?
Hi Im getting a no url found when I try to install openmedia
did anyone else get the problem; installed postfix package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 75
Errors were encountered while processing:
postfix
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
failed installing postfix
whats the final project physically look like?
Great video, super helpful and the best one out there. And to those saying the audio is a bit low, how difficult is it for them to hit 'volume up', geeeez there's no pleasing some people. Again, well done! :)
Is there any significant diferente between a raspberry pi 4 with 4 or 8 GB of ram for this project?
would I be able to access this NAS someway from a different location / IP?
Yeah, if you have an WiFi you could do Port Forwarding.
@@VenixDev Thought so, thanks!
None of those options are showing up on openmediavault
thx that was really helpful
Thanks Bud !
Could you also use this same pi to run a pihole?
Maybe with Docker!
my ssh credentials keep saying incorrect
need help please
Nice videos thanks!
Great video! I fucked up the first time so I had to redo it but that was my wrong, not yours. But I fixed it and we are all good now!
Hi bro, very informative video but plss increase your sound.
Thanks for watching and we'll make sure to work on that!
Thx
Hii sir how can I start WiFi in pi4 using windows 10 pro
How do i get my two SSD to become raid 1 config?
Could you help me with that if you got a method?
CM4 nas video?
This is different because this NAS how-to actually worked.
I was getting ready to down vote you for that Buckeye mug but then I saw your Lando background. Now I'm torn.
decisions decisions... :)
I just want you to make more money to afford raspberry pi 4 ❤️❤️ im gonna click on ads
The network no longer works when after installing the script. I've tried it one multiple pis and os, but it happens every time. Ideas?
IDK
My IP doesnt appear
Last week I realized I've been saying sudo for years when it's actually pronounced sudo.
Can you believe it? sheesh...
If made one person laugh, it's been worth it.
anyone else doing this in vr?
you damn voice is so muffled! But you got the point out
Don't usually comment but sorry dude really wanna watch this vid but can't hear u
Sorry to hear that, audio levels should be good though?
Is he wearing lipstick.
I hate this.
Hi Im getting a no url found when I try to install openmedia
