Dear all,
Can someone tell me what is the best stable version of Openmediavault for a Raspberry PI 3 ?
I'd like to have a version which allow me to install Plex server without any problem.
The version 3.0.13 causes problems....
The version 2.2.1 causes a lot of errors...
Thanks in advance for the feedback !!!
Which version of OpenMediavault for Raspberry PI 3 ?
-
- OMV 2.x

The latest raspberry pi image here is good.

The problem is not OMV. It is that plex is not being actively developed for ARM devices.

Plex Media Server will not run properly on a Raspberry Pi.
-
Thanks for your quick replies. I appreciate.
Instead of Plex, what can I use and with which version of OMV ?
Could you suggest me something which can be installed on my PI3 without any problem ? -
Plex does work on the RPi 2 & 3. It doesn't transcode and the package isn't being maintained though.
If you are streaming to a box running kodi, you can use nfs or samba (both builtin to OMV). If the box supports DLNA, you can use minidlna (plugin available). If you are using a Roku, you probably need plex. If you are using a FireTV, sideload Kodi on it.

Thanks for you reply "ryecoaaron".
I already use samba to access to movies (external disk plugged in my Pi3) within my local network.In fact, I want to access to my PI3 from outside. It's the reason why I wanted to install Plex media server. -
Ah, you didn't mention that in your first post. Plex is the best option plugin-wise. I don't know how well emby works on an RPi. You could vpn into your network as well (depending on device outside your network).
-
Sorry for the lack of information....
When you mentionnedZitat...You could vpn into your network as well (depending on device outside your network)...
, can you explain me the procedure to do this ?
-
If the external device has a vpn client, you could setup a vpn server using the openvpn or openvpnas plugin and connect to your omv server just like you were on your home network. I don't use openvpn but there are plenty of threads about it on this forum.
-
ok, I'll try with a vpn.
I've got OMV 3.0.13.
In your opinion, what is the best solution between openvpn and openvpn nas ?
What is the one which will not generate errors ? -
I don't use vpn but openvpnas is probably easier. Search the forum for the guide.
-
ok thanks.
Let's go for OpenVPN AS ! -
Pat,
How did you get on with your VPN setup?
I am not 100% sure but i think i read somewhere that openVPN AS does not work on RPi. I'd be interested to hear if you managed to install and get it working.
I have a RPi v3 and I have installed OpenVPN (not openVPNas) it is all working fine. I'm no expert but more than happy to help you.
One immediate note is to make sure you have a fixed or reserved IP address for the RPi. If your IP changes after you install OpenVPN it does not work anymore.
I have Plex running on a Mac mini with my media on my RPi. works brilliantly. You don't need VPN to access flex remotely with this config but VPN works brilliantly when overseas and you want to use streaming services like netflix, sky go (as these services are crippled when outside of the local region - when overseas on holiday for example).
good luck.

Correct. There is no armhf package. Only i386 and amd64 packages. -
Rules...
1) If you have only 2 users or less that will use the VPN and on a x86 machine go OpenVPN AS.
2) If you are using an ARM device or want more than 2 users to connect to the VPN use the Community OpenVPN.This will make the decision for you. I use both of the VPN plugins.
