Hi,
Building a new build on the following config:
Acer Aspire One A0751h-52Bk netbook (was babe's) from 2009
Intel Z520 Atom "Silverthorne" 1.33 GHz TDP 2.5 Wh (gma500 "poulsbo" Intel US15W Express)
2 gig DDR2
SanDisk eXtreme microSD 16GB ext4 formated
2 Momentus 2.5' SATA2 HDDs spare from 2009 and 2010, ext4 formated and plugged in via a USB 3.0 alu docking case by Inaltek.
Yeah, quite monstruous setup I know I know
With goals
1. Replace my desktop PC (present tool) for:
- incremental backups (rsnapshot)
- sync'ing (Syncthing)
- remote secure access to all our text files, of which sensible data (ssh, ranger, vim)
2. Add functionalities whenever I can do it:
+ Incremental backup from Windows machines
+ Remote filesystem from Chrome OS: Escape from the Google web
+ Media delivering (whatever the monster can deliver; NFS/SMB at least)
+ DNS cacher on the LAN
OMV setup after a week finding my way through the doc:
Script Version: 0.2.0
Debian-Version: 7.10
OMV-Version: 2.2.2
i686-linux-3.2.0-4-686-pae from backports
openmediavault-flashmemory and rsnapshot plugins from omv-extras-org-stoneburner
Two users
Long time Linux user running mostly Arch and a total Web UI newbie, so far I found the install and setup:
- one of the rare NAS OSes providing both x86 and x86_64 supports
- Easy up to having the Web ui and ssh access; runs super smoothly with 0-0.2 load average on my monster as expected from a clean Debian OS
- After what it was quite a fight: config OMV for a low-pro device device on flash memory, setup shares, find the plugins to expand OMV features, find a plugin description/README...
E.g. to list the available plugins: Plugin list in the web UI is rather short. No prob: like the main Doc (note: the link to the forum seems dead) it says OMV-Extras is logically *the* source for plugins. Ok then on the latter:
ZitatOMV-extras.org provides third party plugins for [up to] OpenMediaVault [1.x (Kralizec)]
Tell ya I got a bit worrying until I could read ryecoaaron's post adequately titled and pinned up on the Plugins subforum.
I can report a few documentation shortages from a newcomer eyes if you don't mind a somehow franck feedback
Now back to configure incremental and secure backup of remote hosts with rsnapshot and ssh, then sync'ing data for a start.
EDIT: forgot DNS caching.
