Swap is on a seperate partition.

Oh yes, in the meantime I found there are three partitions:

- /boot

- / (the main partition)

- SWAP (with doesn't need to be backuped)

Thank you so far.

One more question:

Quote from macom

No. dd only covers the root filesystem.

When I install OMV it always uses the whole disk and the disk only has one partition. Thus, when using dd-backup isn't this a backup of the complete system.

Quote from macom

If you want to have the complete boot drive you need ddfull (which includes all partitions, not only the one for root)

What does this mean? How can the complete boot drive have more then one partitions?

In my setup, there is a small SSD with one partition as the boot drive. All the other HDs and SSDs contain data and are not supposed to be part of the backup.

So: when I want to backup just the OMV on the main disk, including all setups, software and packages but excluding data on other disks, do i need dd or dd full? Or something else?

And how do I restore it after accidently misconfiguring the system? Can I just delete /etc, /opt, /run, /usr, /var and then use the command in #4?

Quote from macom

Well, you should.

In your case make a fresh installation of OMV and than dd the backup to your root filesystem.

Thank you. Does that mean, the restore procedure always means to use the bash?

And - maybe the question is stupid - but: when i have to dd the backup on my root-filesystem why do i need a new omv before? Doesn't dd produce a new system?

And: the backup consists of 8 files. one is very big (1 GB) and the others only 1 kB. Do i only restore the big one "dd.zst"?

Is there a website about the backup types and restore procedures, so you don't need to explain so much. In german language would be best.

Thank you

Quote from macom

What did you select as method?

dd, ddfull, borg, fsarchiver

@macon: i don't know nor do i care. I just klicked on "Backup" in OMVs Backup-Menu. But i see a dd on the method-line.

In fact i don't know about the advantages / disadvantages of the methods. I would use the method which i know, how to restore.

It seems, my Thread is being hijacked?

tsch TS, would you please open a new thread of your own?

Thank you

Hi alltogether,

i succeded to make a backup of OMV by using the Web interface System -> Backup -> Settings and klicking on "Backup".

But now i wonder, how to restore this Backup. There is no button for this and neither could Google find anything. Could someone help me?

Now i found the image:

This is, what it used to look like a few days ago. And now, omv-extras doesn't have a submenu any longer. How do i get it back?

Ok, but still i have no idea, how to access docker. In Services > Compose > Setting it seems to be ok:

I did some google search and found Port 9000. But <my OMV-Address>:9000 finds nothing.

Yes, i thought that "Please install the openmediavault-compose to provide docker functionality within the OMV web interface" is an error message.

Maybe i didn't express the real question: All i want is to acces the docker UI? I think, i remember that formerly there was a button with a quick-link to the docker UI (and portainer and yacht) at this place

System > omv-extras.

Sorry, i assumed, the missing link is an error in my omv-installation.

Thank you for the very quick answer. In fact, the first link was the first thing i found, so i clickedon the Docker repo button in System > omv-extras, and after that i installed openmediavault-compose. In the second link i couldn't figure out, what exactly to do. There are helpful hints, to make managing docker easier, but for me it doesn't explain, why the error-message is still there.

Hello, dear forum-members

when I open System -> omv-extras, i just see this message.

I installed openmediavault-compose. Now, in Services -> Compose -> Settings I entered a shared folder and i see, docker is "installed and running." but even though, i don't see an acces to the docker UI (nor portainer, nor yacht).

Hallo zusammen,

ist es eigentlich möglich, die Systempartition als RAID 1 Software RAID einzurichten? Oder kann ich das vergessen, weil Linux ja erst von der Platte booten muss, um überhaupt zu erfahren, dass ein RAID vorhanden ist?

Viele Grüße

Great, it worked. I took cfdisk.

thank you very much!

Hi everybody,

i have a new SSD and wanted to divide it into multiple partitions but failed.

Each time i try to run resize2fs it says:

Bad magic number in super-block

What can i do? SSD is new, so there's no data to worry about. I tried "parted" to delete the partition and make a new one. Then i deleted the drive in omv's WebUI and created a partition again, but still the same problem.

Any ideas?

Hi,

I just newly installed Plex.

When i start with <server>:32400 I have to sign in first. Then i only see public media. When i klick "Your Media" i am asked to download the server (which makes no sense). There is no possibility to choose the given server.

In the plex help pages, they say: type <server>:32400/web When i do this, i see

No Access.

You don't have access to this server

Is anybody having an idea?

Hallo,

hier noch mal die genaue Ausgabe des Programms:

Ich versuche, openmediavault erneut zu installieren, wegen der Probleme.

# apt install openmediavault
Die folgenden Pakete haben unerfüllte Abhängigkeiten:
php-common : Beschädigt: php7.4-common aber 7.4.28-1+deb11u1 soll installiert werden
E: Fehler: Unterbrechungen durch pkgProblemResolver::Resolve hervorgerufen; dies könnte durch zurückgehaltene Pakete verursacht worden sein.

Hallo zusammen,

seit einigen Tagen kann ich mich nicht mehr ins WebUI aufrufen. Nach Eingabe des Passworts kommt Error 500, inzwischen 502.

Versucht habe ich, Openmediavault mit apt install Openmediavault neu zu installieren und bekomme die merkwürdige Fehlermeldung im Betreff.

Ich habe keine Ahnung, was diese Meldung bedeutet.

viele Grüße

I ound out, that omv extras also works with omv6. itried and to my surprise there suddenly was a docker.

And there was also yacht with a syncthing image with it.

There is no docker or portainer-plug in any longer in OMV6.

Of course, i could install it with apt install docker. And than install Syncthing. But do you think, this would make a difference?

Hello dear helpers,

i was just trying to install syncthing. As there is no syncthing plug-in and no docker-plug-in i just installed with


apt install syncthing


But then i couldn't acces syncthing. I found no configuration files. Using

syncthing -path

shows many folders, non of which is existing.

Quote

Configuration file:

/root/.config/syncthing/config.xml

Does anybody know, what's the secret behind it?
