Why should you use or not use dockers

run an OpenVPN server from my router as well

Why do you need openvpn on OMV if you have it on your router?

Quote from David B

Possibly a stupid question, but I have to ask: can you run shell scripts from Jinja/Salt?

Probably but that is a terrible way to code a plugin.

Quote from David B

I tried answering this myself by Googling "jinja/salt execute shell script", but I cannot find a straightforward answer

Salt (really saltstack) is a configuration management engine and it executes the command Jinja is the template language.
{% set load_avg = salt['cmd.shell']('uptime | sed "s/.*load average: //" | cut -d " " -f2 | cut -d . -f1') %}

The OpenVPN server I run on OMV is configured for UDP and the one I run on my router is configured for TCP. Depending on the circumstances, I need both types.

Agreed, but it could be a suitable workaround.

Okay thank you. I will have a look at this.

openmediavault-anacron - ?

Would be nice to have it as plugin

Maybe. My porting patience is running low and I still haven't done the rsnapshot plugin (which I use the most).

Isn't this already built in to OMV as the "Scheduled Jobs" feature?

macom · Aug 31st 2019

Nope. Anacron will execute scheduled jobs even if the NAS is turned off. After the NAS is turned on.

So if your NAS is running 24/7 you don't need anacron, but if you have your NAS running only at certain times (e.g. at weekends), it comes in handy.

Why? wireguard is the future

Thank you for this. I installed wireguard and it is indeed awesome. Using the IOS app, my phone now lives on my home network 100% of the time now and uses my pi hole dns server, so no more ads.

I still haven't had a chance to look at hacking the openmediavault-openvpn plugin into submission.

@ryecoaaron

Any chance to finish the porting of the rsnapshot plugin soon ?
That plugin is definitely also on my missing list for OMV5

Thanks for having again some porting patience

I know letsencrypt in OMV is available on Docker.
If I install 3rd party app in OMV5, how do I use the cert ?

Morlan · Nov 11th 2019

The certs are stored within the config folders of the docker

tinh_x7 · Nov 11th 2019

So, I export the cert to use with OMV5 ?

Morlan · Nov 12th 2019

To access the omv interface? If you come from external use the reverse proxy. From internal link to the cert its in the folder appdata/letsencrypt/etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.duckdns.org

tinh_x7 · Nov 12th 2019

Yes, I plan to use it with OMV interface and other non-Docker software.

It is in the repo. I did a quick port where it is not using salt like the new OMV 5.x plugins but it will exactly like the 4.x version.

Any chance to get the anacron plugin ported?

I don't know why I didn't finish porting it. Looking at my commits on github, it looks like it is mostly done. I will check it out.

I know you and I have discussed this before, but please consider porting the OpenVPN plugin. Even if it's just by writing a wrapper script to call the shell script as we discussed earlier.
I would do it myself, but school work is taking up all of my time.
