Trying to install OMV on a Windows machine - Minimal BASH-line error (grub)

Zitat von macom

Delete the file and execute the first script again.

Probably the easiest way.

Yes. That did the trick.
I ran a
rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openmediavault.list
and re-entered the first block of commands to update the sources list.

That helped me to get up to the point - step 6: apt-get update.
After that I'm getting:

root@debian:~# apt-get --yes --auto-remove --show-upgraded \
> --allow-downgrades --allow-change-held-packages \
> --no-install-recommends \
> --option Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" \
> --option DPkg::Options::="--force-confold" \
>
E: Sense auto is not understood, try true or false.

Excuse my ignorance but you've been of great help really.
I think I'm getting there.

I do not get it why this step sometimes go wrong.

Try this
apt-get --yes --auto-remove --show-upgraded --allow-downgrades --allow-change-held-packages --no-install-recommends --option Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" --option DPkg::Options::="--force-confold" install postfix openmediavault-keyring openmediavault

I'm still getting this:

root@debian:~# apt-get --yes --auto-remove --show-upgraded \
> --allow-downgrades --allow-change-held-packages \
> --no-install-recommends \
> --option Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" \
> --option DPkg::Options::="--force-confold" \
> install postfix openmediavault-keyring openmediavault

It proceeded in building dependency tree at least....

I repeated all steps from the second script one by one and it seemed like openmediavault was installed but then it came the next error when I ran omv-initsystem

I repeated the process all over again and when I reached install postfix openmediavault-keyring openmediavault the outpu is:

It seems like it's missing a whole lot of dependencies.

apt-get -f install

See if that can fix any of this.

Oh man.. That was it! I'm up and running and I can reach WebGUI on my localhost address!

I can't believe how hard it was. I might be ignorant but the whole process could be a tad easier I think

Thank you so much both of you! I hope there won't be any other problems down my way!

I've had to install OMV on top of Debian several times on my machine back when it was new (like omv 2.0 and 3.0).. and I've always gotten a similar message to what you got and fixed it with the apt-get -f install command.
Glad you got it going.

(and trust me.. You'll have more questions.. it's the nature of the beast).

Thank you!

I knew I was closer and closer with every step but after a point I admit I had started thinking of giving up.

I did spend the better part of the weekend with this but it was rewarding in the end.
As I had been running an OMV server on an XU4, I am aware how great this project is.

I'm hoping I will be able to run more packages and dockers on the new Windows machine which is substantially more powerful!

I'm also glad I'm not dumb after all but maybe just a bit... unlucky?

Thanks again.

Then build you a proper NAS. .

Dual booting a nas doesn't make sense to me, but I guess it is good to learn if needed

I'm not intended to do a dual boot NAS by any means. I might not be so knowlegdeable but not to this extent

I got a Voyo Vmac mini PC with an N4200 processor which is a quite powerful fanless mini pc but ATM I have no use of it. I'm on the fence whether I'll sell it or utilize it somehow. This is where the dual boot thing comes in. I don't want to ''touch'' the OS on the main M2 SSD drive of the PC and just wanted to experiment with a secondary 2.5 SSD I installed.

If this build proves substantially better than my XU4, then I'll definitely keep this mini PC and possibly install OMV on the main drive permanently.

The idea of a low-powered NAS intrigues me a lot - not so from a saving perspective but mostly because I'm very interested and keen on green computing! My KIll-a-watt meter shows that this little thing consumes 6 watts and if stressed up to 10-12 which is amazing in my book.

My main NAS is a WD My Cloud mirror so this build is more of an experimental one.
However, if the experiment goes as hoped, I'm planning to transfer my main NAS drives to a new OMV build as the WD I got is very slow in transfer speeds (around 50mb/s) while my XU4 with a couple of USB HDDs has twice the speed!
