Need help setting up.

Hello, I have downloaded the OMV image on to my raspberry pi. Everything is working, but I need a help as I'm a newbie with computing.

1. How do I use my raspberry pi 2 with a dongle without Ethernet cable?
I tried this out, I enabled wifi in networking and I put in the ssid and password of my wifi. Is that all I need to do? If so, I removed the Ethernet cable and it won't work.

2. How do I upload items as a user from iPad, iPhone, etc.

When I try logging on my Mac to upload somethings from there, it accepts it but says there is something wrong with the server and I can't access it.

3. How would I setup the OMV so that I could access from anywhere such as away from local network.

Thanks.

Like i said i have zero experience setting stuff like this up. Could work through it with me?

First have a look at the videos for a general introduction on how to set up OMV.
Then take it one by one.

We are here to help you (if we can)!!!!

Will do, im going to reinstall the image onto my SD card ( for some reason doesn't want to reconnect back to my router, was working earlier.)

Ok i followed the videos, but i cant get past the step to install emby-server. I would like to get emby. I am using raspberry pi 2. When trying to install this is what i get:

Emby is a media server. You can use it to stream music from OMV to your iDevices.

I would suggest to deal with it later.
Check https://emby.media/ for more details.

Will do, now how would i set it up so that i can access it from anywhere?

All I can think is it is caused by using the mono-project repos instead of the Debian versions.

Technically i don't really need emby, i could just upload videos, pics or whatever straight to the folders. I would like to upload items with an ipad, but i don't know how to do that. Also i would like to make the OMV accessible from anywhere (Including R/W in folders).

Which video did you follow?

Followed the full install video and emby video. I also watched the plex video, but when i enable the plex web client i dont know what to do after that.

Just got plex up and running. I can access files on the drive in my local network, how would i set it up to access it from other networks?

Just found out that plex only allows 1 minute recordings. Is emby the same? And could someone help me with my error above? I am using a raspberry pi 2 for the NAS.

I already have sharing with appled sharing enabled. What i need: A media server like emby or plex (but better, not 1 min long videos) that i can download on raspberry pi 2. The media server needs to be able to be remotely accessed.

Where did you find this limitation?

Sorry need to rephrase that. I can upload videos to OMV via a folder i use for plex, but if i try streaming through my ipad, it says you must buy the premiere account to watch videos longer than 1 min. Read the last paragraph in free section: https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-…2526943-Plex-Free-vs-Paid .

EDIT: I found a way around this, I had a browser tat i had downloaded earlier on my ipad. Instead of using the mobile app/ website, i used the Deskop website on the browser. Works perfectly. Would be nice to be able to stream media without paying though.
