Which one to get?
Are all the plugins you need available on 4.x? I use OMV 4.x on all of my systems.
Is 4.x considered Alpha or Beta?
Neither in my opinion. I think it is well past beta but features are still being added.
Is the intent to port the available plugins on 3.x to 4.x?
The plugins that have been ported already will most likely be the only plugins ported (at least by me).
I believe 4.x is still considered in beta, but only because it has not been released as final.
Many, but not all of the 3.x plugins have been ported to 4.x. It's possible, and perhaps even likely that some 3.x plugins will not be ported to 4.x, and using dockers in those cases has been suggested.
I have read here on the forum that there will be no more enhancements to OMV 3.x, only bug/security fixes, and those will run out when upstream Debian decides that 3.x is EOL and ceases support sometime around June 2018, with possible ongoing support by the LTS team until June 2020.
Having said that, my plan here is to begin migrating the few apps I use here that are supported by plugins on 3.x, but that do not have a corresponding 4.x plugin to dockers running on 3.x. And then upgrade the machine to 4.x at a later date to 4.x. So far I have migrated Sonarr to docker, and have Deluge, and SABnzbd to do next.
Good luck with your decision, and let us know what that might be.
Some days ago I "upgraded" my system from omv3 to omv4. With the infos here in the forum the procedure was like out-of-the-box. I didn't upgrade the system by command line, I installed completely fresh on another disk. At the moment everything I need works as expected:
My zpool shows that it's possible to upgrade the pool to get some new features. But this means that there is no way back to omv3 in worst case. So I decided to wait with this "zpool upgrade" until omv4 is stable:
root@omv4:~# zpool status
pool: mediatank
state: ONLINE
status: Some supported features are not enabled on the pool. The pool can
still be used, but some features are unavailable.
action: Enable all features using 'zpool upgrade'. Once this is done,
the pool may no longer be accessible by software that does not support
the features. See zpool-features(5) for details.
