Hi Folks,
im still on a verry old version of 2.x. 2.2.4 to be exact. Back then I did an update and broke the system, since thene I have not installed any updates or upgrades, simply because everything was fine and working. And I didnt had the time to fix our server while I had so much else to do. I just followed the rule: dont touch a running system.
ii openmediavault 2.2.4 all Open network attached storage solution
ii openmediavault-downloader 2.1 all OpenMediaVault downloader plugin
ii openmediavault-extplorer 1.2 all OpenMediaVault eXtplorer plugin
ii openmediavault-forkeddaapd 2.0 all OpenMediaVault forked-daapd (DAAP server) plugin
ii openmediavault-keyring 0.4 all GnuPG archive keys of the OpenMediaVault archive
ii openmediavault-omvextrasorg 2.13.2 all OMV-Extras.org Package Repositories for OpenMediaVault
ii openmediavault-openvpn 1.1 all OpenVPN plugin for OpenMediaVault.
ii openmediavault-remoteshare 1.1 all remote share plugin for OpenMediaVault.
ii openmediavault-virtualbox 1.3 all VirtualBox plugin for OpenMediaVault.
Now, since OMV3 is rated stabel, Im not sure what to do. Upgrade to 2.2.12 or go to 3.x And is there a recomended procedure for updateing to the lates OMV2 vs OMV3?
What I need working is: VirtualBox, SSH and SMB, all other stuff is nice to have, but not needed for production.
On my machine are several VMs (Win7x64 and Debian Wheezy/MySQL4 and the current beta FreePBX 14/14). Also I have an DYNS Updater at work, and multible SSH file collection processes from several remote locations. As well as hosting a big buch of fiels for my companies.
So what to choose?
I konow this section of the Forum is basically for broken updates, but I thought I rather ask first, and avoid to have a broken OMV later on.
Do I upgrade via GUI Aktualisierungsverwaltung or do I upgrade via apt-get update && apt-get upgrade? Or should I first do a dist-upgrade?
I also suggest to pin a thread with a step by step how to for an update/upgrade to this section. Just to help us dummies to NOT breake our NAS and then consume lots of time of the experts for fixing stuff that would not be broken if done right the first time.
I gladly would document my update process here for others to follow, if I get a hint in what order to do which task.
Thanks
Regards and Schöne Ostern
