OMV on Raspberry Pi 3B+ post installation issue.

Greeting's,

I am having a terribly unsuccessful time at getting OMV to work on RPi. I am using a Ubuntu virtual machine to write the image file using etcher as I am having difficulty using etcher in MS Windows 10 (which host operating system on my laptop). After successful write, I am inserting the card to RPi and powering it on. I cab see successful boot but I am unable to get the OMV login page. Irrespective of the browser I use (Chrome / Firefox / Opera), I get ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED error. I have waited for 2 hours with memory card inserted in the RPi and it being connected to the internet.

Errors:
Failed to start kernel modules.
I am seeing failed to start realtek H5 bluetooth support.
failed to start a high performance web server and a reverse proxy server.

RPi is getting an IP address, there are no DNS sinkholes (I do have Pi-Hole, but I have configured the router to use Google's DNS servers [8.8.8.8]).

Could someone please suggest a way to diagnose this?

Thank you.

PS: I have also tried by decompressing the image and using Win32Diskimager to write the .IMG file (with verification turned on). However, end result is the same.

** EDIT **:

While RPi got an IP address, I realized that ping to google.com failed but 8.8.8.8. Meaning there was a DNS (name resolution) error. I tried dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=noninteractive resolvconf but it did not resolve the problem. Hence I manually edited /etc/resolv.conf and added:

#nameserver 1.1.1.1
search local
nameserver 192.168.0.1

I am able to ping google.com. However post reboot nameserver change to 1.1.1.1 and I have to edit the file to get internet to work on the Pi.

Whats going wrong here? Why is the imaging failing?

Here's the error for apt dist-upgrade

After couple of reboots and apt update & apt dist-upgrade followed by installation of rpi-update and updating firmware to the latest version, everything seems to be working fine. I can see the GUI. However, before I use the system with live data, do I need to do (is there a way) to carry out integrity checks to ensure no errors will develop due to manual updating?

** EDIT 2 **.

I have found the reason why 1.1.1.1 is not working for me. My ISP in all it's glory has blocked it - https://community.cloudflare.c…roadband-indian-isp/16866

Hey @tkaiser thank you for your response. I have done rpi-update installation to update the firmware and allow for NAS over WiFi (please be gentle, I have seen your disappointment elsewhere). Can we not work with the development team to give image this edit and push multiple DNS / Nameserver instead of hard-coding just one?

@tkaiser thank you very much once again.

I understand the technical reasons you don't prefer using RPi as a NAS. I would say yes to that considering definition / expectation from a NAS. However, in case of a home usage where primary requirement is availability and resilience as opposed to speed (throughput) and size of data, would your answer remain the same?

Hence, keeping in mind the bandwidth constraints of RPi where "gigabit" ethernet rides on a slower USB 2.0 bandwidth. Will using RPi for NAS have any other negative implications on hardware (attached HDDs)? Keeping costs in mind, I wanted to design a small NAS which I will populate with data beforehand and use mainly to synchronize changes made to Microsoft Office files (hence small in size, no one really does PPTX with embedded multimedia files at my home ) --- Would you still advise against using RPi for this?

My requirement does not have speed but just ease of having large number HDD's available as opposed to plugging them one by one?

Thank you very much.

You have listed mayof alternatives and I thank you for the reasearch and time you've spent on sharing knowledge.

Which one would you suggest as a good open source alternative; as in one having possibility of putting an OS like OMV or OpenNAS as opposed to using vendor supplied OS only.

I have limited budget and having ability to add multiple HDDs to create a RAID would be a sweet addition.

Thank you for all your help. I am sure you will be happy knowing, I'm dropping idea of using RPi for my home NAS.

Deleted. Thank you for for all the help in this post.
