Raspberry Pi 4 HELP PLS!!!

  • Hi, I've been using the 'beta' version of OMV 4 on the Raspberry Pi 4. Whether it is 'beta' or not i saw it was published on source forge. I decided to download it to use on my Pi 4 and i've done this MULTIPLE TIMES. However, every single time if i leave the perfectly working server alone for roughly 2 WEEKS it breaks just after. All i run on it is a Plex, VPN and File Server. It used to work fine on my raspberry pi 3 but then the new raspberry came out and i wanted that one. But for some reason, every time i keep going to the web interface it just doesn't load and when i head to the plex web interface it doesn't load either. The file serve works for about 2 SECONDS then the connection drops. The only thing that works is the VPN server but even then it still stops working at starts again. When i look over at the Pi both lights just keep flashing (RED AND GREEN) don't know what that's for. But i have to constantly re-flash my device because it fails on me most of the time. I WANT THIS TO WORK WITH OMV but nothing is working.


    Just looking for some advice because it is getting a bit frustrating at the minute, having to constantly take out the micro sd card and flash a new copy of the Pi 4 OMV image and re configure all my services and settings etc.


    ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!


    PS. Could you also recommend any other similar software like OMV that i could use incase this next fresh install i am doing doesn't work.


    Thanks.

  • Hey I am a new to this site as well. I have been using OMV for 3 years with a Pi 3. I could not tell you off the top of my head what OMV file I am using but could log in and see but for this post it is unimportant.


    When you are asking for help in sites like this "You need to specifically say which file name you are using and are looking for help with" even if is a Beta file name state the file name and version if one exists you are using and asking questions about.

    My RPi4 is running the Raspbian Buster Lite image with OMV 5.x installed using the guide - https://forum.openmediavault.o…OMV5-on-Debian-10-Buster/. I don't remember having to do anything special.

  • Hi,


    I know if i re-flash i will lose the log files but, i've looked through the log files and couldn't find anything that was odd. I've just re-flashed and i'm about to re-setup OMV now.


    @ryecoaaron Have you experienced any problems when running OMV 5? If i was to install OMV 5 using the guide you posted. Do i just copy and paste the shell script. How would i do it.


    Thanks

    Have you experienced any problems when running OMV 5?

    Not really but I am not your typical OMV user and I am porting plugins to run on OMV 5.x.

    If i was to install OMV 5 using the guide you posted. Do i just copy and paste the shell script. How would i do it

    Read through the guide. It tells you want you need to know but I'm pretty sure it is just cut&paste.

  • So would it be worth trying to install OMV 5 and seeing if it runs ok with PLEX, VPN and FILE SERVER?



    About the Guide for OMV 5 i take it i just copy line by line in to the Terminal? Do i do both the Source Code and the Shell Script or just the Shell Script.


    Thanks for the Help

    Sure.

    The first source code box gets cut & paste as one block. While you could cut & paste the entire shell script listing, I would cut & paste one line at a time except for lines 7-12 which should be cut&paste together.

    Im going to use the current OMV 4 that i re-flashed for a while until i run into problems again. But i will make a backup using the Debian Buster Image on a separate micro SD card.


    Thanks for the help, i really appreciate it.

  • @ryecoaaron


    I've installed omv 5 on a fresh copy of Debian Buster and accessed the web gui of OMV. Everything was working fine until i was about to change my host name and web password. when i went to press save and then apply configuration after changing some settings my screen would just be stuck on loading for 2 minutes. Then it would say 192.168.x.x. took too long to respond. Then when i go to ssh to it it says the device refused to connect when i have allowed root login on the web gui for ssh and when i go on the web gui again and refresh it just says it took too long to respond.


    I then took out that micro sd card and put in my OTHER fresh copy of OMV FOR RPI 4 and it was working fin as well. But now it does the same thing. When i go to make a change it is just stuck on loading. Then says internal server error when i refresh the page. And when i go to make the same change again it just says bad error or just error or and error has occured


    I NEED HELP PLEASE!



    If all is just failing to work could you recommended any other software that is similar to OMV that i could run on the RPI


    Thanks

    Everything was working fine until i was about to change my host name and web password.

    Are you using the hostname or IP address to access the web interface?


    Then when i go to ssh to it it says the device refused to connect when i have allowed root login on the web gui for ssh

    ssh either isn't enabled or root login is disabled.


    I would try doing things without changing the hostname or network settings for now. I will look into why the hostname change is failing if it happens on my rpi but I'm guessing it is your network where the new hostname doesn't get registered in DNS.



    f all is just failing to work could you recommended any other software that is similar to OMV that i could run on the RPI

    Strange question to ask me. Why would I recommend something other than OMV? Using sbc/arm boards as a server requires some command line sometimes.

    i am using the ip address


    ssh is enabled with root access. I know the hostname has been registered because i can see it under my network on a different computer. I've used OMV on my RPI 3 and NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES.


    For some reason i am having all of these problems for the first time on the RPI 4. Probably because a stable version hasn't been released for the RPI 4 yet. IDK.[/b]


    I've manged to finally change the hostname, web password, mounted my external disk, create a user all in 45 mins. (Should've taken 2 mins)


    but that was because i had to frequently refresh the page, click ok when a message box appeared saying error occurred.


    Do you get ANY ERRORS when using the web gui on ur OMV 5 . Cuz even when i had installed OMV 5 on a fresh install of Debian Buster i still run into errors.


    I am so CLUELESS about what to do. I really want to use OMV because i like it. I can do what i want from the command line but its just harder to debug or to restart and why do all of that when there is software out there to do it. I've really enjoyed using OMV but ever since i upgraded to the PI 4 my experience has just been like *poo* .



    In the image,


    Whenever i even just click anything on the side bar i get messages like these. Never got them before on my PI 3



    ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!



    Thanks

  • Im now getting Messages like Bad Gateway and whenever i try to log in on the landing page of OMV Web Gui. It won't load and just says 502 error bad gateway.


    I have to refresh multiple times for it to load with the login form

    Yep.


    I've manged to finally change the hostname, web password, mounted my external disk, create a user all in 45 mins. (Should've taken 2 mins)

    I just did that on my RPi4 in between other things and it only took a few minutes. Never had to refresh the page.

    Not sure what to tell you other than don't use an RPi4 yet. I am working on a new image but I don't have a lot of time and my suggestion of using raspbian buster lite and OMV 5.x has been solid for me. If your RPi3 is good, keep using it until I have something stable. There aren't a lot of option for the RPi4 for anything yet.

    so for your RPI 4 did u just install buster lite, then use the guide on installing omv 5 and just setup everything from there

    More or less. I don't need the guide to install OMV. I've done it thousands of times.


    I wasn't using buster lite, i was using buster with desktop. but i will try with buster lite(probably won't make a difference )

    That makes a lot of sense and yes, using the desktop can cause you problems ESPECIALLY with networking. That would have saved us some time. We always have highly recommended to not use a desktop environment on any OMV system. I did mention in the original suggestion to use Lite.
