installScript: No DHCP IP assignment after OMV headless installation (RPi 4)

Hey guys,

I got a fresh Raspian Buster lite image and placed an empty "ssh" file into the boot partiotion so the RPi 4 automatically enables SSH during first boot.

This is important for me, as I need a headless installation (see https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/ssh/)

SSH connection works fine after first start, apt upgrades and reboots.

I am using DHCP in my local network and assigned the Pi a fixed IP in my Router's configuration.

Running the OMV installScript (https://github.com/OpenMediaVa…-Developers/installScript) leaves me with an un-accessible system.

The script ends with

Adding eth0 to openmedivault database ...

IP address may change and you could lose connection if running this script via ssh.

In my routers configuration I see that the Pi does not get an IP address anymore. I have no possibility to access the Pi anymore.

Any hints how I can recover my system are very much appreciated.

Thanks for any help,

bkk

Ive had this happen on my amd64 before. Try going to console as root and running omv-firstaid and reconfigure you're network device with dhcp. (your IP may change).. and see if that helps

Thanks for your answer. I also came along omv-firstaid during my research.

However, I have a true headless installation. I am not really willing to buy a micro HDMI cable for my Pi just to run this single command.

It also feels wrong to have to run a "first aid" command on a fresh installation.

If that does not solve the issue:

Installing OMV5 on Raspberry PI's, Armbian SBC's, & i386 32-bit platforms

and do not do any configuration before you install OMV. Also do not update the RPi before you install OMV.

Thanks for your answer. I read and followed exactly the documentation. This also includes the part with the ssh file. I did not do any other manual setup steps.

However, "First Time GUI Logon" is not possible for me because my Pi gets not IP adress from the router. Rebooting did not help.

The main point was to install RPi OS Lite, do not upgrade, install OMV.

Then the RPi should get an IP from the router.

will try this. Thanks for the hint!

Same result even without running apt update && apt upgrade manually before-hand.

Not getting an IP address on my Pi.

Is the installation script broken?

Yes, I have chosen the Lite version.

I agree... Thats really strange.

The only other thing which came to my mind is to try out if the fixed IP assignment in my router's configuratuon does somehow cause the problem.

Will try it out this evening.

Thanks macom for your assistance so far!

Plugging the ethernet cable and power supply in and out did both not help.

Also, removing the fixed IP config in the router did not help

I have the 4GB model and a Speedport W 925V Router from Deutsche Telekom.

For the image I use the standard RPi OS Lite for armhf as referenced above. Not the new beta arm 64bit image.

I think I have flashed the RPi OS like 10 times in the last days. Always get an IP and ssh connection before the OMV installScript.

If the Pi 4 would just have a standard HDMI port.....
