Hi,
I'm going to build a new OMV server.
My new server has good cpu (i5 quad-core 3.20GHz) and a lot of ram (16GB), thus I'd like to run other services (Docker) and vm (KVM) on it.
From your experience, what is the best way (better stability, less conflict) to create an OMV server:
- run installation from OMV ISO installer, and after, expand Debian system by installing other packages as KVM, Docker...
or
- run my own installation, from Debian ISO images and install other packages as OMV, KVM, Docker...
I saw on the page Installation on Debian from OMV Documentation, that it's indicated "please do not install a graphicalenvironment, use a minimal server installation only".
Usually NAS don't need a lot of cpu/ram, is it a real problem if I install a lightweight desktop environment as Xfce?
Is there some known conflicts between OMV and Xfce (or other desktop environments)?
Or, it's only recommanded because OMV can be installed on old equipment too, and desktop environmen could reduce performance?
Thanks,
Chris
