Any ETA of this plugin for OMV3?

It's already supported for OMV3.

Thanks Ryecoaaron

By the way what kinda hardware do you use to run all those virtual machines, I was thinking of the Promox solution as well as there is the added bonus of LXC.

I, along with many others, use VirtualBox. I have no idea what LXC is or if VirtualBox supports it, but if all you are looking to do is test OMV in a virtual environment, it's good.

omv 3.x is stable. The upgrade process needs some work. A fresh install is very stable.

I did not know that there were plans to try to make the upgrade process actually usable. I figured it had been written off as a lost cause.

Apparently this has been an issue on my RPi for three days and I did not notice! The workaround provided by @ekasperc solved the problem until @votdev gets a chance to release a real fix.

Then I guess I don't understand your question if you already knew the answer I gave.

The question was just about trying to figure out if the RTC is something else to add to the list of things that breaks from an upgrade.

Zitat von ryecoaaron

Not sure if it causes problems with the RTC but it causes plenty of other problems.

I observed that when testing it in a VM.

Do you by any chance know if doing an upgrade from 2 to 3 causes problems?

As _DD_ said, unless you have a desktop environment that you want to work in, setting up VNC is pointless. Use either SSH or Telnet over a VPN hosted on the same network.

I use JuiceSSH on my Android device. If I remember correctly, it's about $5.00, but it is by far the best SSH client for Android, and if you use it enough, it easily pays for itself. I tried several free SSH clients, but they all struggled to work with nano. JuiceSSH has absolutely no problem with it.

I know this is not what you are looking for in your question, but just in case you decide to go with using SSH and want to use it on your Android device, I thought this could be useful information.

By the way, if you know a foreign language that is not currently supported by JuiceSSH, you can get it for free.

I'm afraid I cannot help you with that. I have only ever used OMV3 in a virtual machine, and since my experiences with it have not been positive, I am sticking with OMV2 on my RPi right now. The problems that I have experienced with OMV3 have do not have to do with OMV3 itself, but rather, with plugins that I use on my live system that have not functioned properly with OMV3 in my testing VM.

A quick google shows that to be in use by quite a few organizations.

Not only that, but the "Open" portion of the name is an integral aspect of what it is. It's an open source Linux distribution that is intended for use on NAS drives. Put those two things together, and you get "OpenMediaVault." It's perfect! Why drop the "Open"?

You might find this post helpful. It helped me when my RTC module was not working.

Does the hard drive spin down after a period of time? I have the same thing happening on my computer, but whenever I try to access a file in the shares, it becomes available again after the hard drive spins up.

openvpn didn't finish installing. Try apt-get -f install otherwise uninstall it and reinstall. Let's encrypt is removed and mysql looks fine.

Trying to get the OpenVPN plugin to work, whether by forcing it to install, or removing and reinstalling it, I always get a message saying that, "Errors were encountered while processing: openmediavault-openvpn." As for Let's Encrypt, it's uninstalled, but I cannot install it because for whatever reason OMV cannot find and install the certbot dependency. The MySQL plugin is installed, and it may look fine, but that does not explain why then I get pop-up error messages from the plugin every few seconds.

What is the output of: dpkg -l | grep openm

Here's what I see when I run that command @ryecoaaron.

@ryecoaaron I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I've been too busy to fire my VM back up to try this command out. Hopefully I will get to it tomorrow and will be able to let you know what the result is.

@votdev I did the test upgrade in VirtualBox, and everything went smoothly with the exception of problems with three plugins: Let's Encrypt, OpenVPN, and MySQL.

I haven't been able to get a helpful error message for the OpenVPN problem yet, but when I try to install Let's Encrypt, here's what happens.

The MySQL plugin installs just fine, but when I log in to the user interface, this keeps popping up every few seconds.

Here's the stack trace's full text:

Once I get more information on the OpenVPN problem, I'll post it here. I understand that a fresh start would be easier, but I want to learn more about Linux anyway. This will just help force me to get help and learn more.

Unless it is a really large SD card, I would just image the card the same way you wrote it the card initially. dd and win32diskimager both would work to make a back. gzip or 7zip the image to save space.

I've taken a backup of my system using DD and have copied on to laptop so that if necessary, I'll have easy access. I'm currently doing a test upgrade to OMV3 in VirtualBox. The only difference is that the test is being done directly on the machine, but I will be doing the RPi through SSH. Will that be a problem?

The logos look good, but I think the logo should not contain the characters OMV to do not get in trouble with the same named mineral oil company.

For your information, I have modified the openmediavault logo yesterday.

I didn't even notice! It's a small change, but it looks good!

Zitat von ryecoaaron

Ok. Just wanted to warn you.

Thanks! I appreciate it! I run my OMV server on a Raspberry Pi. Could I use the Clonezilla backup plugin to take a copy of my SD card image so that if something goes horribly wrong, I can do an emergency restore if I do not have time to do a fresh install?

Zitat von ryecoaaron

upgrading or installing fresh? The upgrade process does not go smoothly. Fresh installs are very good.

I've tested the upgrade process several times in virtual machines, and the only problem I always run in to has to do with one of my plugins (do not remember which), but I have found that if I uninstall it and reinstall it, the problem goes away. I can do a clean install if it is the recommended way, but I will still test the upgrade to let you know which plugin causes the problem.
