hello everyone -
I just got an HP Proliant micro gen8, and have installed a disk to the odd.
After some days of testing XPEnology with issues, fan speed, harddrives not sleeping etc etc
i tried to give OMV a go.... to see if this is more satisfactory.
its currently running version 2. and just booted the first time after installing updates.
here it is.
floppy/SATA cable bougth for 4$ ( https://www.aliexpress.com/ite…5Pin-22P/32690008753.html )
Now to the questions if its okay with you guys. I need to be guided a bit from what to do with the setup moving forward
Im normally google, read/understand/trial&error before I ask questions, but you guys might help me on the right track to not spend alot of time doing useless things.
since some of you probably done is a few times
before I start diwing into the plugins world/virtualbox etc here a some thoughts:
Need to have:
Abillity to share mediafiles over LAN/wifi. ( LCD-TV with Nvidia Shield currently. but cheap tablets/mobiles/android/mp3 player devices are also potential clients )
Abillity to stream mp3 up to HIGH-HD-mediacontent to tablets/pc/mobiles/android devices in general on LAN/wifi
Abillity to transfer LARGE files from far away location to the server using the internet ( advanced FTP i suspect )
Abillity to sync files/folders between different servers/pc to server over the internet
A "Dropbox" funtionality
Nice to have:
Abillity to stream HDmediacontent and files from the server to devices using the internet. ( play movies on our vacation house )
What I understand is needed.
OMV as NAS and OS, can do most of the things listed.
OMV Virtualbox with windows7, running with advanced FTP and PLEX for the rest.
What I your input ? on this..
Am I way off, what would you do ?
thanks..
