[WIKI] Clarify install via apt-get

dfarning · 30. August 2014

Whenever someone describes how to install OpenMediaVault via Apt-get they use a two step process:

apt-get install openmediavault-keyring postfix

apt-get update
apt-get install openmediavault

Is there a reason that openmediavault-keyring and postfix cannot be made dependencies to openmediavault and save a step? A brief look around the web shows gnome-keyring being a dependency of gnome-core.

The keyring has to be added for signed omv packages. Otherwise, it asks you about every OMV package. It just works better when postfix is installed ahead of time. Most people shouldn't be installing that way anyway

I think the Debian standard way of doing this is:

wget -O - http://packages.openmediavault.org/public/archive.key | apt-key add -
apt-get install openmediavault

I'll poke around the postfix issue when I get some time.

That is what the keyring package does. I think the apt-get line is easier to type though.

Agree.. There's already been enough posts of failures due to typos in command line

You SHOULD use the openmediavault-keyring package. Most repos use a keyring package (including Debian). Having one means that you can manage keys automatically instead of having each user updating the keys when they changed or are removed.

I must thank you for working on the wiki, it has been long overdue, and it's looking good
