Upgrade OMV4 to OMV5 with Plex Media server installed

Afternoon all/

Hope this is the right place and I've broken no forum rules, I'm completely new to this.

I've upgraded from OMV 4 to 5 this afternoon after upgrading from 3 to 4 a couple of days ago and then realising that 4 was eol'd as well!

My hardware is an HP Micro server N54L AMD turion II I bought used off a colleague for £40 or so.

It sits there running a raid of 4 x 1TB HDDs holding the local copy of the family photos and some tv and films accessed by the Plex media server plugin.

I'm ssh'd from Linux Mint running on a ten year old SFF Acer PC!!

I followed the notes in the OMV forum "OMV 5.0 - finally out! page #38"

Here's the edited history of how this afternoon went, maybe it helps somebody;

452 wget -O - https://github.com/OpenMediaVa…pt/raw/master/upgrade4to5 | sudo bash

This script failed to finish on my machine.

453 reboot

471 apt-get purge openmediavault-omvextrasorg resolvconf

Still broken, apt-get purge recommended to run the following apt --fix-broken command.

472 apt --fix-broken install

Said N to installing new versions.

It fixed loads of stuff probably from previous upgrades and attempts and me thrashing around in the dark.

473 wget -O - https://github.com/OpenMediaVa…pt/raw/master/upgrade4to5 | sudo bash

This second attempt got a lot further than #452 but still failed at the very end but I thought a reboot was worth it.

474 reboot

475 apt --fix-broken install

This did a few more fixes and looked hopeful so tried continuing;

476 apt-get purge openmediavault-omvextrasorg resolvconf

Didn't complete fully so tried this again;

477 apt --fix-broken install

And it fixed some more.

478 apt-get purge openmediavault-omvextrasorg

Completed without error.

Ran the next command on the forum page.

479 wget -O - https://github.com/OpenMediaVa…ckages/raw/master/install | bash

Completed without error.

480 apt-get update

Completed without error

481 apt-get dist-upgrade

Completed without error but whinged about a load of unused packages and suggested running;

482 apt autoremove

Which removed them and completed without error

483 reboot

Logged in from web ok, cleared browsr cache and reported version omv 5.

Did a couple of things and then got the dreaded 502 nginx message in the browser instead of the login screen.

More googl-ing

484 omv-firstaid

Didn't fix anything

487 omv-mkconf nginx

Mis-direction, omv-mkconf doesn't exist in omv 5 apparently

490 omv-salt deploy run nginx

Didn't fix the web login

495 dpkg -l | grep openm

ii openmediavault 5.5.12-1 all openmediavault - The open network attached storage solution

ii openmediavault-keyring 1.0 all GnuPG archive keys of the OpenMediaVault archive

ii openmediavault-omvextrasorg 5.4.2 all OMV-Extras.org Package Repositories for OpenMediaVault

ii openmediavault-plexmediaserver 3.8.2 all OpenMediaVault Plex Media Server plugin

496 apt --fix-broken install

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

So nothing to fix, hmm, what now? more googling.

497 omv-firstaid

Still didn't help.

498 omv-salt deploy run phpfpm

FIXED the web login and plex survived the upgrade and is still up and running - bonus.

So got there in the end, thanks everyone for all the hard work and info..
