I’m new to OMV and have it setup for the most part now so just trying to get a few last details in order. Now that its setup I’ve added a firewall rule on router to prevent Internet access, I don’t need OMV or want it connecting to the internet. I would like OMV to obtain the time from a NTP server (192 address) on my LAN for the time service but it errors out every time I try to apply it. I don’t need OMV to be the NTP server, I only need it to obtain the time from my LAN. I was able to do this with other devices restricted from Wan access. I was assuming all I had to do it replace pool.ntp.org under System / Date & Time but with my local NTP service but it fails every time. is this doable? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Posting the error message you receive might also be helpful

Seems to be not related to NTP, but to filebrowser. Did you install filebrower without save and apply?
Try to remove filebrowser first and then make the change to NTP.
-
You are correct, thank you! I installed the File Browser and Diskstats plug-ins because I thought they’d be useful. I haven’t even used the File Browser yet so I uninstalled it and set the local NTP with no errors.

It should be possible to install filebrowser and change the NTP server of course. And it does on my system.
Could you try to install filebrowser again and see if it is working? Don't forget to save and apply.
-
I opened Firewall (for OMV) and re-installed it. Keep in mind I'm new to OMV but I noticed I was not prompted to Apply the Change unlike other system changes.
-
It takes some time after you pressed safe the yellow apply banner should appear at the top of the window.

BTW can I change the screen lock-out time? I looked at FAQ videos and there was a mention for the OMV 5 version but not finding it on current version
-
Yes, under System >> Workbench >> Auto logout
-
Thanks for that, I set for 15 minutes and the Apply prompt came up immediately.
Just a correction to my earlier post, I also have plug-in openmediavault-nut installed It seems to be reporting nicely unlike the Nut package in pfsense, I could never get it to work in pfsense but worked right away here. Since the File Browser didn’t apply I just removed it for now. I’m up and working so don’t want to break anything. Thank you again for your help. I don’t want to wear out my welcome here so not going to not make any more changes today

If you invested some time in the setup of the server, consider to make a backup of the OS drive, so that you can revert in case you break something.

Compared to other my setup is a fairly simple setup and if it did crash I have enough screen shots to replicate my setup if I had to. That said I still plan to tread lightly. I have two 2TB Red WD drives in Raid Mirror config on a little ITX box. I’m only using FTP as a NVR and SMB/CIFS so we could run Vice Versa Pro which is an old back up program we use for our desktop systems. I’m coming from xpenology which served me well for a few years but it was slowing down and to be honest it’s a hack to setup and upgrading was a challenge. This on the other hand seems to work well right out of the box after I find my way around.
