Plugins that are wanted - Part 5

Thank you ryecoaaron for the direction.

Most probably still too much for me but I will look more in detail about the nginx option.

A plugin that erases drives, including simple wipe (/dev/zero), ATA secure erase (both regular and enhanced) and forensically erasing HDDs and SSDs to some standard.

I have an eSATA/USB 3.0 caddy on my server that I use for backups, and it would be great to be able to just plug a drive I'm retiring, reselling, or reusing into that, log in, and wipe with the press of a button.

why can't you just run "sudo badblocks -wsv /dev/sdX" or combine this with "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1M"

I have read that this two commands should wipe the disk clean as securely as you possible can.
maybe if you run it couple of times to make sure.
only bad thing is that you MUST be very careful when typing the drive.

would be nice to have a plugin script that you can just point to the drive in the UI and say run it N times.

It is more complicated than that when dealing with SSDs, which is why I suggest ATA erase, plus it isn't clear to me how many passes your commands are making as I am not familiar with them. This is the point of scripting - not only does it make it easier (I'm not all that comfortable in Debian shell), it can more conveniently conform to accepted standards, rather than what we each read in some blog post somewheres.

oh, I am completely with you on having a nice GUI to do this.
i am not a fan of CLI myself.

I do believe that badblock command works on SSD as well as on HDD.
not sure about dd though.

Give how sparsely the backblock command line tool shows up in search results, I'm not clear I would trust this tool as much as other tools, such as DBAN. It also appears to be more for the purpose of testing than data destruction.

well yes the disk tab has Wipe option, but how secure it is, or should I say how thorough it is?

openletter asked for something secure.

I have noticed the 'wipe' feature before, but I recall having no idea what it actually does. Wipe, to me, means just write zeros in one pass, which will not be suitable for complete erasure nor for even wiping SSDs.

Additionally, the ATA erase will erase parts of the drive not accessible to an OS plus it restores the drive to its factory configuration, which can result in increased performance. And as I understand it, SEDs will replace the encryption key.

I'd first just like to say that the support that I have received has been outstanding; I intend to blog about my experience with OMV and the benefits that I (as a novice) am realising aswell as the much needed support that I have received along the way

The feature that I'd personally like to see is Samba Gnome tracking:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Spotlight

I started a thread re. this topic and the the conclusion has been reasonable; however, spotlight support would make the interaction between OMV and MacOS more seamless. I'm presently executing some work arounds which, while functional, are a little clunky. If I am reading the wiki page correctly, Samba spotlight support is up for grabs, however, I couldn't say how much work Samba Gnome tracking implementation entails.

Hi guys,

I found a cool software name: cloudron.

https://cloudron.io

https://cloudron.io/references/selfhosting.html#cloud-server

It has many popular apps such as NextCloud, OwnCloud, Word Press....

Is this software compatible with OMV3?

It's friendlier, and easier to install.
It seems like it uses the Docker images.

It has FileRun, WordPress, and many other cool apps to install.
I would love to have this run on OMV3 instead of Docker.

No luck on Debian Jessie...
https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/issues/164

Is there a solution?

The Cloudron platform is designed to easily install and run web applications. The application architecture is designed to let the Cloudron take care of system operations like updates, backups, firewalls, domain management, certificate management etc. This allows app developers to focus on their application logic instead of deployment.


At a high level, an application provides an image and a manifest. The image is simply a docker image that is a bundle of the application code and it's dependencies. The manifest file specifies application runtime requirements like database type and authentication scheme. It also provides meta information for display purposes in the Cloudron Store like the title, icon and pricing.


Web applications like blogs, wikis, password managers, code hosting, document editing, file syncers, notes, email, forums are a natural fit for the Cloudron. Decentralized "social" networks are also good app candidates for the Cloudron.

Anybody in here use sandstorm?
It's a cool web productivity.

I didn't know where to ask so I'll ask in here,

why no support for Kodi ?
It's widely used and totally free unlike Emby & Plex.

Or can it be installed with the commands and work ?
http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_for_Linux
But I don't know jack about Linux tbh so I can't even tell if it's possible to install on OMV 3.x using command lines or not.

Because Kodi is a client and OMV is server. An RPi runing OpenELEC is cheap abd works very well for kodi.

Ok, so you lost me at the 2nd phrase
RPi ?
OpenELEC ?
abd?

I saw that NFS and Samba shares can be accessed by Kodi, so I'll try that.

Edit : Ok I must be stupid but I can't setup kodi (android) to use my remote samba share.
So is it even possible ? Like watching a films from my server over the net (not in local, I don't care about that^^)

If anyone has any tips or a small guide please
Thanks

RPi = Raspberry Pi.
OpenELEC is a Linux distro dedicated to making a Kodi media center, like OMV is a distro dedicated to making a NAS.

OMV is a NAS, not a media center, and it's not a good idea to combine the two.

Not sure how you would mount a Samba share on an Android device. That's not a typical way of using Kodi.

If you want to use multiple clients and mobile devices, you might want to look at Plex rather than Kodi.
