My Pi was running OMV5 so I thought it was time for an update and since there is no direct path to upgrade to OMV6 I thought I would give CasaOS a try. It installed fine and after some learning on how to mount external USB drives I have it all working (inc PiHole, Plex and SyncThing). Shame there is no quick way to update dockers and back the whole system up. I think these are things that need adding pretty urgent. Thanks to the developers !
what do you suggest for RPI4 as an home server and execute many types of files like movies, pictures, word, pdf, excel, ppt, music, etc. from internet everywhere in the world ? Thanks a lot
I would probably not recommend a Pi for that. I would look at a small form factor PC or even a used workstation that you can pick up for very little cash as it will be a better use of your time and money
It really depends on your comfort level. I like them both for very different reasons. CasaOS is great for getting into self-hosting and simple setups. OMV is more advanced and currently has more features/options, so I would encourage you to test them both out and find what works best for your needs. I've changed my setup multiple times as my needs have changed.

Tried to install using that one liner command on my machine which is already running Proxmox Server. But it looks the eth0 interface is already taken, is there a way we can run Casos on some different network interface or it can use the same interface which proxmox uses?
I would recommend running this in a Proxmox VM or CT if you already have Proxmox running. Trying to run this alongside Proxmox is going to be a real pain and not practical.
@@DBTechYT Thank you very much for your quick turnover. Somehow it detected the interface and now its working fine. Have imported all my apps from Portainer to CasOS and so far both CasOS and Proxmox are working independently. Especially, because am with raspberry Pi4 so don't want to give much load of VM on Proxmox Server so running it alongside. Will check it if it is ok or will do as you recommended. Thanks again for all your videos. They help me learn a lot.
So CasaOS is meant to be a hybrid of sorts between OMV and Portainer based on my experience with it. You could probably install Portainer in this and deploy containers that way, but I'm not sure that containers deployed that way would show up in the dashboard
@@DBTechYT My question is that if you can link another CasaOS server to the main one, so you can show and edit your containers in one place. Like in Portainer, you can do it with the help of Portainer Agent.
I gotcha. I'm not sure if they have something like that, but you might consider joining their Discord and suggesting it as an idea for an upcoming release.
Has anybody successfully been able to get the CasaOS Pi-Hole install configured so it automatically provides network wide adblock protection to any device that connects to its network? I spent two days trying to get my CasaOS Pi-Hole install to take over DHCP duty from my router with no success. Each attempt resulted in losing internet access which then required I factory reset my router numerous times. Eventually, I gave up and decided to install the standalone version of Pi-Hole running on a separate Raspberry Pi 4B computer. It seems CasaOS Pi-Hole is incapable of providing network wide ad blocking protection that involves making changes to your router. Only the standalone version of Pi-Hole can successfully take over DHCP duties from a router. I hope somebody proves me wrong because I really want to run both Nextcloud and Pi-Hole on the same Raspberry Pi 4B and not two separate Raspberry Pi computers.
CasaOS is developed by a company in the PRC. I love the concept and the UI. BUT the fact that the software is written by a Chinese company is super sus.
Your RunCam HD2 is also made in China. I'm sure most of the software and firmware on it are written by people there. As is your television, your phone, etc. Probably several of the parts of the planes you fly are as well. What's your point?
@@DBTechYT The code for my TVs are written in Korea, same for my phone. I no longer use runcams and haven't for years. The point is, you are using an entire home cloud OS that is written by a company that is under the control of the PRC and distributed openly and freely. Is there malicious code included now? Probably not. Will there be in the future? That is the question. There was a remote execution vulnerability in CasaOS versions
This is also a point for me to not use Casa OS. And for all you China defenders I can ask a simple question: where are cell phones that are made in EU or USA? Where is Nokia, Motorola? Where are Apple factories in USA. Oh yes, they are gone! With all patents and technologies, that are now in China. And it's our responsibility. Me included. Because I also bought a Huawei phone once, instead of supporting western companies. Because it's cheaper I thought. With software it works too. You got free software, they got technologies, experience, potential backdoor. And in a few decades, they rule industry.
Thanks for this update. I may have to spin that up and give it a whirl in my homelab. I appreciate all the effort you put in for these vids.
As always thanks for sharing. I love the idea of casaos, but waiting for actual file server function
lol .. what?! CasaOS has been able to serve files *from the beginning.*
My Pi was running OMV5 so I thought it was time for an update and since there is no direct path to upgrade to OMV6 I thought I would give CasaOS a try.

Shame there is no quick way to update dockers and back the whole system up. I think these are things that need adding pretty urgent. Thanks to the developers !
Doesn't seem that there is much available for something that should be simple. Shame as I really like CasaOS.
Would you advice CasaOS for home nas or it's better OMV ?
It's cool to see you again with Casaos! Thank you very much David :)
Hadn't looked at CasaOS in a while, so I wanted to see how much it had changed and I'm pretty excited to see the updates!
@@DBTechYT And it's not over, good continuation to you.
Great video. I've tried CasaOS, but I'm switching back to OMV and portainer because I'm still confused about the deploy stack in CasaOS.
I have a error that keeps me from getting into the App Store and I can’t update my zimaboard
No one can help you if you don't tell us exactly what the error is
I need help! How can i setup https on nextcloud docker installed with casaos store. Sorry if i have bad english.
It looks like a synology / qnap OS operating system, but for any device
Gotta give it a shot

I'm trying to visit the terminal , its asking for User ID, Password and port. I tried multiple combinations but nothing works. Can you pls guide
@@VigneshkumarS need install ssh first
Thanks for the tutorial, I just started using CasaOS and this is helpful
Casa os I'm trying to download but is stuck 0
maybe you can make a video witch instalation jolpin server on casaOS ? :)
casaos looks so cool
Hi there! How can I mount my internal ssd on CasaOS? Please help me! :-) Great and very informative video!!! THANKS!

It just transfer files up to 12 ,13 Mbps, I’m over Ethernet, any solution??? Great videos !!
Sounds like you're on a 100Meg connection instead of a 1gig connection
Would be nice to revist your "Run All Your Docker Containers through a VPN" video but using CasaOS instead of portainer.
that's an interesting idea for a video... :)
You should revisite the project again 🤓
Does anyone know how to setup up multiple accounts? I have family members that use CasaOS, but it looks like only one user can log in.
CasaOS is an administrator dashboard to deploy containers. I wouldn't want a bunch of other people poking around in the admin dashboard.
@@DBTechYT This is true, but I'd still would like to have a few members of the family to have administrative access of their own.
What's your opinion on kubesail when comparing it to casa os?
Hadn't heard of Kubesail, but it appears to be a much different thing than CasaOS based on first looks
I updated but no longer recognize my external HDD, can you please help?
I would start in this Discord: discord.gg/FxWE8TrG
How to access my casaos from anywhere??

Do you have any idea if it is possible to link another server like that in Portainer? Nice video as usual.

It's working fine for me although I do DHCP on the router. Did you put the IP address of your pi into your routers DNS record ?
I think I'm sold on Garuda, lol.
