Hi all,
I'm simply using the BACKUP menu in the OMV interface. I have rsync selected and daily as the frequency. I haven't thought much about it but just checked the folder and it's massive at 78,187 items, totalling 44.1 GB.
What can I do to clean this up?
Thank you
... and I have no idea why. I have re-loaded using the base URL and it works! I wonder what the hell that was all about?
I really want to thank you for all your help. I'll be doing up a doc for future people to work through to run omv on vultr with letsencrypt. So they can have a front facing system, if they so want to take the risk.
thanks again, it's so very much appreciated
OK I did a full re-format, re-installed OMV.
Installed letsencrypt with the certbot.
Imported the certificate into omv.
Now, I get this! Moving forward. So there's a cert that's recognised, however, it is the error as shown at the bottom of this screen shot.
and using https instead of http?
This is. I can't get any result from http either.
I get a 301 in the network tab on http but same error.
hmm, mine shows this after a reload with the network tab open:
(thanks for showing me the paste tool here)
Thanks for your continued interest and suggestions.
I'm on Debian 10 linux btw in case that helps (on my machine and of course the server).
The network tab shows:

I can't help it and I know you're right, I still can't help it.
Definitely did that. Have my URL correct.
Interestingly, now I've added the certbot to OMV, I can't even view the http version. I'm locked out so to speak 
hmm, it says:

But I definitely have an SSL cert. Checking my terminal on the server I get:
$ certbot certificates

@TeWuEs did it recently in ths thread RE: Can not login with host.domain but can with IP address maybe he can give detailed instructions.
Thank you.
I went there, started asking, looked over my interface and... guess what?
I was entering the data into SSH not SSL. There are two tabs.
So now my keys are accepted, in the system... and I still have a broken lock on my address bar. sigh.
Oh well, one step at a time!
I definitely have a valid letsencrypt cert. I also have it imported in the OMV interface. I just have to keep plugging away.
Thanks again everyone!
Yes, I get the feeling most people run OMV on a home system behind their modem, so very little is out there for public facing omv servers. It's a struggle to find info / docs / tutorials. Thanks for your time though, much appreciated.
Yup I noted that. However, it's a virtual device but in the end it all worked out. Learning every step of the way. Thank you
Thank you for that. I do have one. However, pasting its contents gives the same error.
Thank you. I ended up finding this part of the interface. I can copy / paste the Private Key and that seems fine. But when I try the Public Key it says invalid format. I am pasting the contents of fullchain.pem into Public Key.
As OMV requires two (or more) hard drives, I had to create a VPS but I also needed a second drive. Vultr allows you to create another drive using Block Storage and link it to the VPS. So the VPS sees a literal other physical drive. It works well. However, I simply installed to the wrong drive.
There is! Thank you. I found the import in the dropdown.
I pasted the results of cat privkey.pem into the box.
However, there is one called public key in the omv interface. Which file's contents should I paste into that? fullchain maybe? Well, I tried that and it says invalid format. I'm not sure. It's really not clear in the docs.
Thanks again for this.
For example, in the OMV docs I found this statement RE letsencrypt:
Lets Encrypt certificates can be imported directly, just locate your
/etc/letsencrypt/live/<mydomain.com>/fullchain,privkey.pem files and copy
their contents in their respective field. No need to convert.
So I looked on the filesystem, and found the following:
cert.pem
chain.pem
fullchain.pem
privkey.pem
README
So I'm just not sure what to do. I am not finding the docs clear based on that paragraph.
I found out my mistake. I was installing omv to the Block Storage, not the server. So the public ip was not seeing omv, only the debian server. I did again, installed to the server and the block storage is now a storage drive for omv. So it's working now
Thank you I do appreciate your help.
However, when I go to System / Certificates and Add / Import the cert. There is nothing to import.
I'm really not sure what to do there and can't find any docs / tutorials anywhere on this topic.
Thank you for this. However I am a bit new to SSL certs.
As a note, this is a public facing machine, it's not behind my modem. I've got a server on Vultr and can access via subdomain.domain.com if that makes any difference.
I've gone and created a ssl cert using the certbot command :
certbot --nginx --redirect -d subdomain.domain.com -d subdomain.domain.com -m email@address.com --agree-tos
However, how does that let me use it in omv? I am sorry I don't understand what you mean by "copy the new cert on top of the old one and restart nginx in your script" in regard to what I've done.
Thank you
Hi all,
I've logged in via SSH and run the following command:
certbot --nginx --redirect -d subdomain.domain.com -d subdomain.domain.com -m email@address.com --agree-tos
This gave me a certificate which is great.
However, I note theres a certificate section in the Secure Connection area in the Web Administration area. I drop down that option and nothing is there.
How can I ensure OMV is using my certificate?
Thank you
