Having trouble getting OMV-Extras installed.

1st Official Post

    Hey Everybody,


    I am having issues getting OMV-Extras installed so I can get the minidlna plugin setup. Now I followed this guide here and it seemed to have installed it is when I get to step:


    • Go to the plugin tab in OMV's web interface.
    • Upload the file.

    I goto the plugin TAB in OMV Interface and I see no such file to upload? is it just supposed to be there as there appearss to be only 22 plugins avaialble. I check for updates but there is still only 22 and that was the default number when I 1st updated OMV..


    I would appreciate some insight to what is wrong here. I am on OMV7 and that is all setup for my NAS I just trying to get minidlna to hook into my Reciever.. if you need more info that I may have omitted please let me know and I will update the post..


    Thank you

    Which how to are you looking at? Using the command has been the only omv-extras install method for OMV 6 and 7.

    Hi, I had the same problem a while ago and I solved it using the terminal (cli) by logging in as root and paste:

    Code
    sudo wget -O - https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/packages/raw/master/install | bash

    As you can see it is the same line that appears on the omv-extras site but it uses sudo at the beginning.

    if you have any error with dpkg just use ps -ef | grep dpkg* to see which process is blocking the installation and then use the kill command to terminate it. That's how I managed to solve my problem

    I solved it using the terminal (cli) by logging in as root and paste:

    If you login as root, you don't need sudo at all. You also don't need sudo to wget the file but you do need sudo to execute it with bash. The problem is when someone only puts sudo on the bash section of the pipe and hasn't used sudo before that. The system will prompt for your password but you can't see it. So, putting sudo on both sections of the command is the best route unless you run as root. Both guides tell you to run as root.

    It's good that this is cleared up, as I'm not an expert with cli, thx

    OK I guess I did get it installed as I can see something on my Reciever. I am guessing there is only one way to edit the config file as there is no GUI?


    I am trying to get my "Music" Folder as the folder to see in my Reciever.. IF it is to be configured in the conf file that will be fine as I know how to access that just not sure how to get it working properly..

    What do you mean there is no GUI? Did you install the minidlna plugin?

    Please excuse my ignorance on this matter but I am unsure what I have done is even correct. I did get PhotoPrism installed that was easy and it has a GUI of sorts to configure it.


    I tried searching for a way to install minidlna plugin but I found old posts here and reddit.. I alos found I need the omv-extras to get the dlna plugin hence why I asked for omv-extras? I really don't understand this and how it is supposed to work at least in the logical sence..

    omv-extras is equivalent to an extended software repository for OMV, containing plugins specifically developed for OMV, and minidlna is one of them.


    If you have successfully installed omv-extras, you should be able to see it in the GUI, and you can search for minidlna on the Plugins page.


    After the installation is complete, you can see it on the Services page.


    If omv-extras or minidlna does not appear after installation, please first force refresh the webpage using Ctrl+R or Ctrl+F5 to clear the cache. If it still does not show up, proceed with further checks.

    well you see that is the thing I do not have omv extras installed and do not know how to get it installed. that is why I am here to see what either I am doing wrong or do I not understand well..



    EDIT: OK I seen this and gave it a try and It still did not work:


    Installation


    From command line as root (preferred method) and only method for OMV6 and OMV7



    wget -O - https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/packages/raw/master/install | bash



    Once I get my files transfered over to the new NAS I will give thiscommanda try again.. thnx I think I am getting it.. but for a while there I did not know what the following symbol was on the Keyboard "| " thnx

    I don't understand, we already gave you instructions, commands and tips and you don't read the messages??? or you haven't even tested if they work???

    to this command line:

    OK when I am done transfering files I will move the NAS back into my pc room and try it with the sudo command.. thnx.


    EDIT : I just reread the entire thread and one user said Sudo is not required if logged in as Root?? So Yes I am reading it but getting conflicting info??

    Yes, when you log in to the command line as the root user, you don't need to use sudo, but it's fine if you do.

    This command will only work as root in which you don't need the first sudo. The bash command after the pipe MUST have sudo if you are running as a user other than root.
