Fully agree. This is totally amazing. I was debating what to use but now i will use OMV + mergerFS + snapraid. Thank you very much for the clear explanations!
Installing OVM through Raspberry PI was a real nightmare. I had to reinstall Raspberry Pi Lite + OVM at least 4 times and waste a 1T microsd non cat 10 to the trash and use ovm-firstaid to recover the misconfigured eth0 interface due to interface renaming to get my own static IP. I spent about one week to get 5 minutes of this awesome video. I hope all this effort worth. Every second of this video is definitelly valuable. Thank you so much.
This is a good tutorial.... while you did a lot that I perrsonally don't need or use. - mainly because of hardware limitations, but was exactly what I needed. Thanks
glad you got something out of it ... and there is more coming (as promised) - I just had a death in the family and need to reprioritize my time for a bit ... stay tuned, "Back up" and "rebuilding the array" is still in the works ...
Excellent video, thank you. My total watch time was about 4 hours as I left it on screen during my set up! I had tried viewing several other YT tutorials, junk compared to this👌.
One of the early developers from truenas helped develop OMV because at the time the debian linux option was non existent with truenas core before scale was announced.
yes ... I am planning a video (may turn into two) that will include thoughts on backup as well as replacing & rebuilding a failed data drive, and a failed parity drive
happy to hear it ... and there is more coming (as promised) - I just had a death in the family and need to reprioritize my time for a bit ... stay tuned, "Back up" and "rebuilding the array" is still in the works ...

Hi @1964gerrit ... you are doing it right - but the docker structure has recently changed: You now need to go to system>plugins (after you installed omv-extras, and have checked the "docker-repo" box under system>omv-extra) and install the "openmediavault-compose" plugin (just search for "compose"). After that, "compose" should show up under services ... here you can now set up docker. Hope this helps.
fair question ... the 1st stick is the install medium - the 2nd is for when you choose to use a USB stick as your OS drive ... you can use any USB port (I happen to have an internal one, so it's a bit "cleaner") - you will also need to Install the “flashmemory” Plugin (@9:59)
well ... kind of - you don't have to use hardware RAID or software RAID to achieve a RAID benefit - snapraid (as described here (@11:30 & 18:35 - 23:05) gives you the benefit of a parity drive (that is different than say level 0 or level 1 RAID)
I have a question: I am building the OMV 7 with test (small) hard drives to see if it works ok and fast. when finished, I would like to buy large drives and fill up a mergerfs to get the thing running. My question is that I have these test drives and referenced to everything, can I just delete the share or do I have to go and find every reference to that share?
Cautionary tale - you now need to build a second one as a backup NAS, but then you don't want to mess up the configuration of the first one trying out new things, so you need to build a third one as a test bed. But then the experts say to keep a backup off site, will this never end ? 😂😂😂😂😂
I currently on Unraid and thinking of creating a back-up server and instead of purchasing another license, I'm thinking of using this instead (OMV + mergerfs + Snapraid) which basically is Unraid but free.
Hi, I have viewed this video and is impressed of your way of explaining this. I have an OMV6 with some disks (mirror) and started with OMV4 and has upgraded. Found you recently and will continue listen. If I my ask, I would like an video about hot to handle disks that get red och yellow marks as status in the Devices panel. To be safe with a OMV server for lots of videos and photos it has to be handled when you reach problem. Also, how do you backup and restore your OS-disk?
Hi @peppesbodega2208 ... that video is in the pipeline - in fact, I have videos in the making for backup (data & OS), as well as swapping drives that are nearing its end (data & parity) ... unfortunately, I have recently seen a significant increase in workload (in my dayjob) and had a death in the family requiring me to divert a LOT of time for personal things ... be patient, the videos are coming
Thanks for quick response. Sounds great that you are on this already. But take your time and take care I will be here when you are back with some goodies.@@HaukesProjects
Sadly there is no part 4 announced on the video end. I like the tutorial, not just showing how to but briefly explaining the stuff (which is more important). I hope to not need part 4 but nevertheless, it's better to know generally what I have to do in case it happens.
the good news are: part 4 (through 9) have been scripted and are ~50% shot ... only - I currently have a bit much on my plate (see my other replies to comments here), so it will unfortunately be a little longer before I have the time to edit and post them (sorry)
My question or you can say a request if you can make a video on how to shift all of your hard-drives to a new system with all users and shares intact. Reason maybe killing the OS or upgrading the hardware.
not only can you request it - it's already 85 shot 👍 ... only - I currently have a bit much on my plate (see my other replies to comments here), so it will unfortunately be a little longer before I have the time to edit and post them
My OMV 5 server died yesterday. I'm optimistic that it's just the PSU. Been years since I've had to touch any settings so I'm hoping I don't need to reinstall. But if I do, this video will be helpful.
@@HaukesProjects So I bought a new PSU but before installed it, I tried plugging in the old PSU with the new power cord. Just on a whim. And it powered up. Didn't expect that. However that was the end of the good news. The machine won't boot. Heck, I can't even get it to POST. But, I bought the motherboard and CPU in 2009. So I definitely got my money worth because I think the board and CPU were less than $120 combined. Because I'm cheap I bought a used board and CPU which were very inexpensive because they use DDR 3 and I didn't want to buy new RAM. So I got those in the mail yesterday and need to put them in the case. I'll probably also take the operating system disk and clone it to a SSD that I forgot I bought years ago. More reliable than a mechanical drive.
Really well put together video! Just read a comment about “life” happening and hopefully you’re doing better now. I’m eagerly waiting to learn how to rebuild a failed drive. I’d also appreciate if you could walk through setting up Immich and docker Thanks again!
I found this extremely useful, and I have eventually set up OMV following your guide. I just wonder what happened to you. This extremely helpful video has been your last upload in over a year.
what happened is "life" ... simultaneous doubling of load at work, then a death in the family (w me being the executer in a foreign country - so I am splitting my time between 2 hemispheres at the moment) ... things will get better and I already have several videos shot waiting for me having the time to edit them

Hi, I installed Debian 11 32bit without interface, on an old hard disk and single core 32 bit CPU. After that I ran the script to install omv6. After finishing the installation there was a problem, I was partially displaying the web interface and solved the problem by installing Udisks2. I am doing various tests before creating a more important build. How can I do to properly configure the firewall? I set up rules for https and samba but when I save the changes the operating system fails to download updates however the web interface works correctly.
fantastic questions ... but outside of my wheelhouse (and I have no means of re-creating that setup at the moment) ... BUT: I suggest you check out the omv forum (forum.openmediavault.org/) and search for "32bit" ... there's a plethora of content - hopefully you'll find some good insights there 👍
To my experience (at least 3 months ago), NFS of OMV6 has high CPU usage and often slows my server. I'm not sure if I'm the only one but just in case, here's some of my setup: - OMV6 is running in a Proxmox VM, disk are passthrough with 1 CPU - NFS shares are through a Docker Containers (Jellyfin) and also Mounted to my Linux PC - CIFS is disabled during this I had better luck with CIFS in the same setup to this date, I haven't tested NFS again but if anyone knows what's up 👇
I am running OMV6 on my QNAP TS-459 Pro for abt. 5/6 years now, OS of QNAP for this NAS was eol, to be honest I never used Docker as being an old hat to me it only adds more resources needed. Have NFS and SMB/CIFS running as I have Debian bookworm (testing) and Windows systems running. CPU utilization idle 6% under load (playing a video on my HTPC) between 20% to 40% CPU Atom D510 @ 1.66GHz RAM 2GB. Using the backport kernel from Debian and not he proxmox one.
@@DeeDee.Ranged Hmm, The only difference probably here is I ran mine on VM and the Kernel that I was using was the official one. Docker was one contributing to the load but I doubt it was the culprit since when I tried it with my PC alone it seems to do the same thing.
I built one of these today, it's working great. It took me a while to figure out that after I created the shared folders I had to go to the SMB settings and set them up to be shared by SMB, I thought that creating the shares would be enough. After I figured that out it was super simple and easy to set up.
I assume you are talking about installing the “OMV-Extras.org” Plugin (@9:10) ...? No knowing the exact circumstance, I can only suggest the following: - make sure you're logged into the server as root, and - make sure you got the command right (w/o a typo) ... in fact, make sure your copy & paste: wget -O - github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/packages/raw/master/install | bash ... if this doesn't work, we may need a few more pieces of information (and/or read up on the plugin and its installation here: forum.openmediavault.org/index.php?thread/5549-omv-extras-org-plugin/)
I have downloaded version 6.0.24, created the installation USB, try if I use an NVME as another USB stick, after checking IPV6, it stays in a blue screen, and does not ask for anything about network configuration..... no does nothing.... any ideas?? I'm using a Gigabyte b150m-d3h ddr3 motherboard, with intel core i5 6500, 12 Gb DDR3 ram...
I assume you told you system to boot from the USB stick in the BIOS? ... if so - and the system recognizes the NMVE drive - it should give you the option to select the drive to install omv to ... at which point you can select the that drive as the destination
I absolutely will ... part 4 (through 9) have been scripted and are ~50% shot ... only - I currently have a bit much on my plate (see my other replies to comments here), so it will unfortunately be a little longer before I have the time to edit and post them (sorry) thank you so very much your kind words and the superthanks ...

I have an old windows computer and have OMV on that with a WD essential 1TB...mainly for backing up and playing around with NAS and other fun things that I am learning. I mainly use my iMac etc....I click on network, OMV is there but I get a connection failed.....no other options....Any ideas for diagnosing?
some Windows computers seem to have that issue (I have one of 5 that behaves like that - despite being configured the same way) - I have accessed it by entering the IP address in file explorer and than create a DT shortcut once it get there - same result as going there via Network. You also may want to poke around the omv forum for similar comments: forum.openmediavault.org/index.php?thread/27209-windows-cannot-access-openmediavault/ ... hope this helps 👍
a RaspberryPi is a good choice ... but quite a different animal than an ordinary Windows machine. I suggest you check out the guide on omv-extras, and the following 2 forums: - wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv6:raspberry_pi_install - forum.openmediavault.org/index.php?thread/42210-installing-omv-6-on-raspberrypi-desktop/ - forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=320792
hmmm ... I talk about 2 different ways to install the flashmemory plugin in the video - I suggest you review 9:59 - 11:33, try either/both, then restart and you should see an improvement (worked for me, worked for others) ... if neither works for you, please be more specific with what you mean by "cant find" and "cant download it through ssh" - neither should give you trouble if you follow the steps as described (make sure you don't have typos and/or weir firewall stuff going on)
I haven't tried it myself, but I don't see why not ... (maybe someone else here has had a similar experience?) I would make sure the NMVE drive works and is installed before you boot ... and that you tell the system in the BIOS to boot from USB (you will probably also see the NVME drive as an option if the system recognizes it) - that way your system SHOULD be aware of the NVME drive, but prioritize the USB in the boot sequence
For the past year or so, I have had a GMK J4125 mini Nucbox running OMV that is installed on the internal m.2 sata drive and works like a champ, so I don't see why a nvme would not work here. Btw, I also have OMV installed on a PiZero2 just for fun, and although it is slow, it works, I have my Linux distros and lots of documents on its Samsung 1Tb portable SSD.
@@luisbperez368 Thank you for your answer, now, the most important thing for me is to know why the installation does not pass the IPv6 check... after that the only thing I have is a blue screen without any kind of interaction.
@@juancarlosgarcia3025 I assume you are referring to the step titled "Attempting IPv6 autoconfiguration" (around 5:05 in this video) ... while I haven't experienced it before, I did a little research and found that apparently some ISPs have their routers set to "disable PIV6" (or they have "bridge" mode enabled) - so the omv installer gets confused when you don't have a DHCP server handing out ipv6 addresses. I suggest you try the following: First, log into your router and turn on DHCP & IPV6 (in case it isn't already) ... if that fails, try to hit alt-f2 and kill the dhcp v6 process (I believe it proceeds on just fine after that). - Hope this works ... let us know. (if all fails, you could try to do the install w/o the cat5 (internet) cable plugged into your machine and configure that part under "network" in the GUI later - but that may end up being more complicated)
hmmm ... not sure if you truly mean "Mbps" - 40 Mbps would be 5 MB/s ... and that would indeed be VERY low ... 40 MB/s on the other hand is not THAT low for this setup (I often see 40-100 MB/s copying speed (also using old hardware to copy from: 10 yr old desktop, SATA II, old NIC, simple router, ...). Are you seeing average, max, or lows in at 40MB/s (or Mbps?) ... and what is you setup (hardware)? - keep in mind, an old setup like the one I am describing here has a potential MAX read/write @ 300MB/s (SATA II)- but that goes for each component - so you might have a stacking effect happening ... I suggest testing individual drives with CrystalDiskMark to get a better understanding of their performance ... and take a look at this thread: superuser.com/questions/545157/highest-effective-transfer-rate-on-sata-ii ... especially the part about IDE vs AHCI in the Bios
@@HaukesProjects well I realized it was from the Surface Dock 2 my ethernet is connected to. When I connect my other USB hub, the speed about doubles to almost 80MBps but then I decided to test with a different laptop this time a Dell and the speed shot up to more than 100MBps
@@HaukesProjects but I'm still curious to know why that happens with the Surface pro 6 and dock... The Dell laptop is a 2017 model... So how come it's better in connectivity than the surface pro
@StepDoku ... beats me - I have two identical systems (hardware & software) behaving in opposite ways ... and I am sure there is a reason (it has to do with how smb shares get recognized - there are several threads dedicated to this on various forums) - I just have given up spending time trying to figure out the specifics for now ... so if you come up with a definitive answer, please share ... 😎
;-) ... don't think truenas would have been lightweight enough for this config - I am currently running the OMV install on a USB stick - works just fine in the old hardware
@@mr_DIY that's certainly an option (I've done it the same way for a while) - might be faster & more reliable - but SSD and USB have similar issues ... I suggest backing up the OS drive in either case (I plan to make a video about that in the future)

Hey, when i put in the first command is says
Wget: invalid option -- '0'
How do I fix this?
I assume you are talking about installing the “OMV-Extras.org” Plugin (@9:10) ...? No knowing the exact circumstance, I can only suggest the following:
- make sure you're logged into the server as root, and
- make sure you got the command right (w/o a typo) ... in fact, make sure your copy & paste:
wget -O - github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/packages/raw/master/install | bash
... if this doesn't work, we may need a few more pieces of information (and/or read up on the plugin and its installation here: forum.openmediavault.org/index.php?thread/5549-omv-extras-org-plugin/)
Great video. Thank you for all the information.
glad you got something out of it ...
Super Anleitung, vielen Dank!
gerne doch ... 😉
I have downloaded version 6.0.24, created the installation USB, try if I use an NVME as another USB stick, after checking IPV6, it stays in a blue screen, and does not ask for anything about network configuration..... no does nothing.... any ideas?? I'm using a Gigabyte b150m-d3h ddr3 motherboard, with intel core i5 6500, 12 Gb DDR3 ram...
I assume you told you system to boot from the USB stick in the BIOS? ... if so - and the system recognizes the NMVE drive - it should give you the option to select the drive to install omv to ... at which point you can select the that drive as the destination
@@HaukesProjects it boots, do things untill it check ipv6 connection, after that blue screen and nothing more....
Great video, you should keep making software tutorials.
thank you ... I will make some more ... but my interests are all over the board ... 😜
Great vid! You covered what others only gloss over. Thanks!
you're welcome ... glad you found it to be useful
Thanks! Come back and do part IV sometime.
I absolutely will ... part 4 (through 9) have been scripted and are ~50% shot ... only - I currently have a bit much on my plate (see my other replies to comments here), so it will unfortunately be a little longer before I have the time to edit and post them (sorry)
thank you so very much your kind words and the superthanks ... VERY much appreciated
This is a great video, to the point well done
thank you for the kind words ...👍
I like XigmaNAS...
I have an old windows computer and have OMV on that with a WD essential 1TB...mainly for backing up and playing around with NAS and other fun things that I am learning. I mainly use my iMac etc....I click on network, OMV is there but I get a connection failed.....no other options....Any ideas for diagnosing?
On my sons windows OS gaming PC I can get in
some Windows computers seem to have that issue (I have one of 5 that behaves like that - despite being configured the same way) - I have accessed it by entering the IP address in file explorer and than create a DT shortcut once it get there - same result as going there via Network. You also may want to poke around the omv forum for similar comments: forum.openmediavault.org/index.php?thread/27209-windows-cannot-access-openmediavault/ ... hope this helps 👍
@@chrisplank7639 - yup - that behavior sounds familiar (see my comment above)
Thank You.
You're welcome ... hope you get some benefit from it
Why the first steps are differenet for raspberry? Can't I directly download the image on raspberry like you?
a RaspberryPi is a good choice ... but quite a different animal than an ordinary Windows machine. I suggest you check out the guide on omv-extras, and the following 2 forums:
- wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv6:raspberry_pi_install
- forum.openmediavault.org/index.php?thread/42210-installing-omv-6-on-raspberrypi-desktop/
- forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=320792
i cant find the flash memory plugin and i cant download it through ssh what i need to do this machine is slow on usb
hmmm ... I talk about 2 different ways to install the flashmemory plugin in the video - I suggest you review 9:59 - 11:33, try either/both, then restart and you should see an improvement (worked for me, worked for others) ... if neither works for you, please be more specific with what you mean by "cant find" and "cant download it through ssh" - neither should give you trouble if you follow the steps as described (make sure you don't have typos and/or weir firewall stuff going on)
Can't be installed on a NVME drive??
I haven't tried it myself, but I don't see why not ... (maybe someone else here has had a similar experience?)
I would make sure the NMVE drive works and is installed before you boot ... and that you tell the system in the BIOS to boot from USB (you will probably also see the NVME drive as an option if the system recognizes it) - that way your system SHOULD be aware of the NVME drive, but prioritize the USB in the boot sequence
For the past year or so, I have had a GMK J4125 mini Nucbox running OMV that is installed on the internal m.2 sata drive and works like a champ, so I don't see why a nvme would not work here. Btw, I also have OMV installed on a PiZero2 just for fun, and although it is slow, it works, I have my Linux distros and lots of documents on its Samsung 1Tb portable SSD.
@@luisbperez368 Thank you for your answer, now, the most important thing for me is to know why the installation does not pass the IPv6 check... after that the only thing I have is a blue screen without any kind of interaction.
@@juancarlosgarcia3025 I assume you are referring to the step titled "Attempting IPv6 autoconfiguration" (around 5:05 in this video) ... while I haven't experienced it before, I did a little research and found that apparently some ISPs have their routers set to "disable PIV6" (or they have "bridge" mode enabled) - so the omv installer gets confused when you don't have a DHCP server handing out ipv6 addresses. I suggest you try the following: First, log into your router and turn on DHCP & IPV6 (in case it isn't already) ... if that fails, try to hit alt-f2 and kill the dhcp v6 process (I believe it proceeds on just fine after that). - Hope this works ... let us know. (if all fails, you could try to do the install w/o the cat5 (internet) cable plugged into your machine and configure that part under "network" in the GUI later - but that may end up being more complicated)
@@HaukesProjects You are right, that's the moment, will try your tips and let you know. Thanks.
my data transfer speed seem to be capped at 40MBps any suggestions on how to increase this speed?
hmmm ... not sure if you truly mean "Mbps" - 40 Mbps would be 5 MB/s ... and that would indeed be VERY low ... 40 MB/s on the other hand is not THAT low for this setup (I often see 40-100 MB/s copying speed (also using old hardware to copy from: 10 yr old desktop, SATA II, old NIC, simple router, ...). Are you seeing average, max, or lows in at 40MB/s (or Mbps?) ... and what is you setup (hardware)? - keep in mind, an old setup like the one I am describing here has a potential MAX read/write @ 300MB/s (SATA II)- but that goes for each component - so you might have a stacking effect happening ... I suggest testing individual drives with CrystalDiskMark to get a better understanding of their performance ... and take a look at this thread: superuser.com/questions/545157/highest-effective-transfer-rate-on-sata-ii ... especially the part about IDE vs AHCI in the Bios
@@HaukesProjects well I realized it was from the Surface Dock 2 my ethernet is connected to. When I connect my other USB hub, the speed about doubles to almost 80MBps but then I decided to test with a different laptop this time a Dell and the speed shot up to more than 100MBps
@StepDoku glad to hear you found your gremlins ... 😉
@@HaukesProjects but I'm still curious to know why that happens with the Surface pro 6 and dock... The Dell laptop is a 2017 model... So how come it's better in connectivity than the surface pro
@StepDoku ... beats me - I have two identical systems (hardware & software) behaving in opposite ways ... and I am sure there is a reason (it has to do with how smb shares get recognized - there are several threads dedicated to this on various forums) - I just have given up spending time trying to figure out the specifics for now ... so if you come up with a definitive answer, please share ... 😎
going so far to just not install truenas :(
;-) ... don't think truenas would have been lightweight enough for this config - I am currently running the OMV install on a USB stick - works just fine in the old hardware
@@HaukesProjects I had bad experience with usb drives, so my truenas scale runs of ssd. its very cheap now. also my config is 15 years old core i5 :D
@@mr_DIY that's certainly an option (I've done it the same way for a while) - might be faster & more reliable - but SSD and USB have similar issues ... I suggest backing up the OS drive in either case (I plan to make a video about that in the future)
