OK I found Chente's guide on how to install Docker properly.

I'll start again!

Mike

Complete novice here so please excuse.

I have a Raspberry Pi 4B with OMV6 installed on the SD card.

I understand that it's not a good idea to install Docker on the SD card so I put it in a folder called docker on the attached USB HDD.

I then installed Portainer and Syncthing with the aim of backing up my laptop to shared folders called Documents and Pictures on the HDD. These are some of the settings I used:

After running Syncthing my Documents and Pictures folders are empty because the files have been placed here:

/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-5d410d26-9d14-4d31-9b63-298d6aaba100/docker/volumes/eb80d385fc0cead2b01f10c935022c45bd052befd0d11d2dac1e1f018e3bcd7f/_data/Documents

Where did I go wrong with my setup?

Mike

OK I found the problem. OMV could ping 8.8.8.8 but couldn't resolve google.com.

I was using a static IP address for OMV (as I have always done in the past). When I reinstalled OMV with a dynamic address it worked.

I'm migrating my file server from Pi3 to Pi4 and need to install Syncthing.

I followed these instructions:

https://blog.crankshafttech.co…vault-with-syncthing.html

It seemed to go well, and I can see the syncthing container in Portainer but it seems to be in a permanent state of restarting.

The container log contains multiple instances of this line:

error during connect: Post http://docker:2375/v1.40/containers/create?name=syncthing: dial tcp: lookup docker on 8.8.8.8:53: no such host

Here's the list of images. I'm guessing the Unused flag is a clue?

Please can someone advise on how I can find the fault? It was so much easier on OMV4!

Mike

OK I confess. The drive was encrypted with LUKS and I'd forgotten to unlock it.

RPi4 problems with USB drives?

Maybe it helps

Thanks, that may be useful when I can work out how to mount the drive without destroying the data on it

Apologies if this is a dumb question ...

I have OMV4 running on a Raspberry Pi3 with a data drive formatted in EXT4.

I have now installed OMV5 on a Pi4 and moved the data drive over.

The drive appears under Storage > Disks but not under File Systems so I can't mount it.

What am I missing (apart from a functioning brain) please?

Mike

I have a Pi3 running OMV which backs up my laptop using SyncTrazor. It also serves flac music files with the MiniDLNA plugin and I have had no issues with speed or reliability

I've just ordered a Pi4 with 4GB RAM but it won't be delivered until the end of July .

Ah, OK.

Thank you.

Mike

May I ask another question on this please?

My syncthing plugin is version 0.14.49. I understand that there is a version 0.14.50 available which implements read-only folders (this is for a file backup system for my laptop). Is it possible to upgrade OMV to this version? I can't see a way to do this.

Mike

Thanks - our posts just crossed!

And thanks for all the work you do on this great software.

Mike

OMV-extras is already installed. It came with the upgrade to OMV4.

EDIT: OK now I realise I have to enable Sync in OMV-extras before the plugin is available ...

Mike

I've just upgraded to OMV4 and syncthing does not appear in the plugins list.

How can I install it please?

Mike

Are you using LTE or something else?

Nope, I'm accessing the GUI from a laptop on my home wifi. The Pi is connected via ethernet.

OK thanks. I'm none the wiser, but as long as it's working I'm happy.

Mike

Thank you, that appears to have fixed it but it happened again when I installed the luks encryption plugin. This time I ran omv-firstaid then apt clean and again it seems OK.

Can you elaborate on the IP address issue please? The Pi's address hasn't changed.

I've just flashed OMV 3.063 to an SD card and booted up a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B V1.2.

After setting the timezone I downloaded and installed all the updates.

This ran OK for a while then bombed out with this error message:

Error #5002:
exception 'OMV\ErrorMsgException' with message 'Invalid IP address' in /usr/share/php/openmediavault/session.inc:188
Stack trace:
#0 /usr/share/php/openmediavault/session.inc(212): OMV\Session->validateIpAddress()
#1 /var/www/openmediavault/index.php(34): OMV\Session->validate()
#2 {main}

Now when I reload the web page I get the blue OMV screen but no content. I erased the SD card and repeated the above with the same result.

I can still access OMV from the CLI, but rebooting hasn't helped. Any clues to fix this please?

Mike

Hi,

I flashed the OMV image to an SD card and booted up the Pi.

I can log in to the web GUI from my laptop but I'd like to know if I should run raspi-config from the CLI to set up things like file system resize, GPU memory allocation etc. or is that all taken care of?

Thanks,

Mike

The sda2 is the system?

Thanks for pointing out my stupid mistake .

I my haste to get this going I had forgotten to create a data partition before imaging the disk, and on first boot the filesystem expanded to fill the space.

Must try harder ...

I've built a couple of projects already with a Pi 2 (OMV and a VPN) and I wanted to try out the Pi 3 without an SD card because I like to learn.

I don't understand the comment about constant stop start because the NAS will be running continuously.

I will have a look at the system drive, thanks.
