Install kernel 5.6 on OMV4 - Will this work?

  • Hi,

    I am trying to install https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-wireguard on my OMV4 docker environment. But compiling fails. My current kernel is backports 4.19.


    I do not know anything about kernels. So my question is, if Debian 9 will be working together with latest kernels? In my case I would like to install Ubuntu mainline. Am I completely free when choosing the kernel? How could I elaborate dependencies?


    Thanks a lot for help here!

Zfs is also doing mirror (root, boot), stripe (io drive) and raidz (data storage). Most optimized for response, io drive optimised for throughput. Zfs is really versatile 8)

  • why noy upgrade OMV4 to OMV 5?

    There is no upgrade path and I need the system running (passwords in nextcloud, sync in firefox, emby media server).

    Are these services not running in docker if so just backup the config folders for relinking for when you reinstall to omv 5

  • there are an upgrade path, only need to be sure that your plugins are ported or delete it, prior to upgrade it ( if do not exist on OMV5, you allways can use dockers).


    RE: OMV 5.0 - finally out! :-)


    and if really is not an option consider to use other VPN not wireguard, there are lot of VPN that you can use on a docker.

  • I tried openvpn. It worked mostly, but often I got cert problems. Not with ca or server cert, but with the one that manages revoke state. I tried to use one easyRSA for two instances, but ended up with many issues when recreating the container. OpenVpnAs works very well, but allows only two parallel connections. And now I have routing issues with receiving RTP packets. On top, openVPN keepalive packets cost battery life on my phone. To me wireguard is the last hope to be honest :)

    There are many plugins, I really like. Nginx, urbackup-server, letsencrypt. Will I loose my nginx sites config? Could I try out before doing the migration? Or do I have to do a full disk backup? I read about a lot problems afterwards :(

    Does this mean OMV4 (Debian Stretch) is not compatible with Ubuntu mainline?

    Does someone know? Is this a very stupid question? I can barely find information about kernel dependencies or restrictions. I do not know which distro features which kernels :(

    Not sure what you are asking but you cannot run OMV on Ubuntu. If you are on OMV 4.x, you really should upgrade to OMV 5.x. That will allow you to use the 5.7 backports kernel or the 5.4 LTS proxmox kernel.

    omv 8.0.6-2 synchrony | 6.17 proxmox kernel

    plugins :: omvextrasorg 8.0.2 | kvm 8.0.2 | compose 8.1.2 | cterm 8.0 | borgbackup 8.0.2 | cputemp 8.0 | mergerfs 8.0 | scripts 8.0.1 | writecache 8.1

    My question was, if omv is compatibel with a kernel like https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.6.19/.
