Good morning,
I'd like to know how to make shared folders accessible, even outside the local network.
I need to work on files from home.
make shared folders accessible outside the local network

- OMV 5.x

You should port forward 445 /SMB port in you router
So if you already made the shares in OMV , then the last thing to do should be port forward 445 to you OMV server ip. -

SMB is a local sharing protocol, doing this is a very bad idea.
Use SFTP(wincsp or filezilla can do the job) with public key authentication or use SMB but over a vpn transport link, you will need at your home a very low latency uplink with decent upload speed to work as smooth as if you are on the local network
-
Or use nextcloud

From home what IP address do I use in FileZilla? -
Or use nextcloud
Is an excellent idea. Meantime, if instead I wanted to use SFTP?
On the local network, I log in with the IP address of omv.
To access from outside which IP can I use? -

you don't use an ip, get a free domain prefix from duckdns or buy a domain, they are 4 dollars. You need to keep the ip address updated, so you need to run a service that keeps the domain up to data as most home users have a dynamic ip

No need to do port forwarding?
Practically how should i configure omv?
Do I also need to configure the clients that will access via SFTP? -
Yes of course you need port forwarding. Unless you set up omv in a dmz. Clients need the hostname assigned to your house router or the public IP address.

Can you briefly explain to me what it is? I don't have the ability to create port forwarding on the router.
So who wants to connect from home with SFTP, must edit the hosts file?
-
Yeah look if you can’t do port forwarding, less Dmz you won’t get remote access. The only option would be to set an outgoing vpn connection to a cloud server (vps) then acceding omv vía the vpn tunnel using the cloud server ip.
What let you determine that you cannot do port forwarding ? Is this your house internet connection ? If you are trying to bypass a corporate firewall you should talk to the admins there.

it is the connection of the school. we don't have a router and in any case the administrator wouldn't agree, so I abandon the idea of port forwarding.
-
If outgoing connections are allowed (internet connection) at the school then a vpn tunnel in between the omv server at school and a server at your house will do the trick. At home i assume you can do port forwarding, then all you need is a raspberry or other device that's always on.
-
Also don't expect the speeds to be same as local
-
Or use nextcloud
Does this also require port forwarding?

It seems too complicated. The user at home should only take care of accessing shared folders, without having to do port forwarding or configure a server. Is there a simpler solution to create a VPN tunnel?
-
Does this also require port forwarding?
Yes.
-
To overcome complications of port forwarding then you need to use a cloud service you can set it on your own pay for the vps or use an all in one solution. I know one which is ngrok the free tier is not really usable in long term. I use it sometimes to test Alexa skills with my home server as as backend.
There must be other solutions to ngrok different prices.
-
This another solution in case you want to pay your own VPS

saw this as feature request in omv github, don't get hopes this will never be implemented in omv native maybe as plugin, but it should help in what you want to achieve bypassing firewall.

sono nuovo qui, è la prima volta che leggo e scrivo di e con noi, ho letto di un'idea di subzero79:
set up an outgoing vpn connection to a cloud server (vps)
sì, ma come si fa a configura questa in OMV?
