From my part, a fresh install is the best way to go.

If OMV5 is running solo on either SDcard or USB stick, the migration won't take too long or be that difficult.

Hi!

What is the recommended procedure to migrate OMV configuration from an OMV5 installation to a fresh OMV6?

Did an update using omv-release-upgrade from latest v5 to 6 and all went well. Raspberry PI4 4gb

omv-release-upgrade wouldn't have upgrade omv-extras or any of its plugins. Are you sure it went well?

too soon to find this thread.

As far as I know I don't have any issues. I just use it simply for Plex

I've upgraded to a synology running dockers recently (sorry guys). My Raspberry pi was running the OMV5 with the buster version and installed new 64bit bullseye version and omv6. Reconfigured the dockers running the 64 bit version and pointing to the same /config files in the location of the hard drive and it little config is needed. Here's my checklist of how I did it.

1. Download 64 bit raspbian lite OS from the website.
2. Use Raspberry Pi Image and install Os by going to “Use Custom” and use image from step #1.
3. After image is done, pull out sd card, and put in sd card, put in a blank “ssh” file in the boot partition.
4. Put sd card into raspberrypi and bootup. Wait for 5 minutes until you can log in as pi, password raspberry. Change password by putting in command “passwd”
5. Change Localization features by running “sudo raspi-config”
6. Run the commands “sudo apt update”, “sudo apt upgrade”, “sudo rpi-update” and reboot by running “sudo shutdown” Unplug power. plug in Usb hard drive and plug in power.
7. Install OMV by putting the 3 commands

wget https://github.com/OpenMediaVa…Script/raw/master/install

chmod +x install

sudo ./install -n

1. Log into OMV by going to http://<ip of raspberry pi> log in as admin and password openmediavault
2. Change admin’s password by click on the “cog” on the upper hand corner and go to “change password”
3. Change the local time zone by going to System -> Date and Time.
4. Change auto logout time by going to System -> Workbench Change from 5 minutes to about an hour to prevent yourself from auto logoff.
5. Go to Network -> Interfaces. Add Network for eth0 for raspberry pi.
6. Add the external hard drive. Go to Storage File Systems, Mount the hard drive as /dev/sda1 Format the hard drive to ext4 partition if needed.
7. Install docker and portainer by going to System => OMV Extras - Docker and Portainer and install them.
8. Install symlinks is recommended. Go to System -> Plugins under openmediavault-symlinks 6.0. After installed, it should appear in Services -> Symlinks. Your hard drive location is under /srv/dev-desk-by-uuid-xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx something like that. Create a simlink from the one above to something simple like /mnt/sda1
9. Add the Dockers back using cli and point back to the old locations of the /config files
10. Create Shares/ folder shares and user accounts if needed.

“sudo rpi-update”

For what reason did you run this?!?

Not saying that what you did isn't right but this is nowhere mentioned in any Tutorial (that I'm aware) posted here.

That command installs testing firmware that you don't really want on your server unless your a tester:

Even on Raspberry Pi OS you should only use this with a good reason.

This gets you the latest bleeding edge kernel/firmware. There is always the possibility of regressions.

Bug fixes and improvements will eventually make their way into new Raspberry Pi OS releases and apt-get when they are considered sufficiently well tested.

A good reason for using this would be if you like to help with the testing effort, and are happy to risk breakages and submit bug reports. These testers are welcome.

Also if you are suffering from a bug in current firmware (perhaps as one of the reporters of the bug on github or forum) and a fix has been pushed out for testing, then using rpi-update is the right way to get the fix until it makes its way into new Raspberry Pi OS images and apt-get.

Backing up before updating is always advisable

Ok, you did it at the beginning of the installation but that command should only be used if you really know what it is for.

Out of curiosity, what is the output of:

uname -a

Why did you skip networking? The install script works well on the RPi. Some routers don't handle the dhcp change though.

I put an dhcp reservation in my router and it works for me. I'm using an Asus rt-68u flashed with a merlin firmware.

How can I install OMV 5 to raspberry pi 4.

this script working install omv 6 and I cant install

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

I want to install OMV 5..

Thanks but this is so interesting. I've been using it with the desktop version for years. I don't understand what has changed now :((

Hi there,

has anybody tried to install last upgrade to your rpi ?

It breaks OMV 6.0.7 (service page crash).

I tried to re-install from scratch, Raspberry OS up to date before I launched OMV6 install script : same problem.
