The question is, how much space do i need to install OMV5 and have some left to play with "containers" (and for updates)?

To answer your original question: 16 would be big enough but a 32 allows for room to allow the Flash Memory Plugin to work and reduce write-to wear and extend the life of your system drive. A 32GB usb stick is cheap (get two; one for backup).

If you are going to set up on the new machine you’ve built, don’t worry so much about the state of your system drive on the old machine, as long as you can still use it till the new machine is ready to transfer data over.

Before installing docker set the docker file path in the omv-extras tab to /srv/“any data disk you like”/docker.

You are really better off with a fresh install of OS and containers on your new machine.

He didn't create them in the same order, so the UID's are different

Having only ever set up single-user (home) servers I hadn’t thought of that.

Did you recreate your user with exactly the same name, caps and all?

That means Plex's database is on the M.2, but that shouldn't be a problem and all is running fine.

Plex’s database can grow quite large, quite quickly, depending if you have all the bells and whistles turned on and depending on how big the M.2 is.

Is it checked enabled on your user tab?

Are you running OMV5? If so I think it has been deprecated in 5. No longer available. Try SMB.

I’m guessing you don’t have an os backup or made a backup of your config file?

That's one problem with computer science

Oh that’s not me at all. For me it’s like first grade: cut and paste. That’s how I was shown. It still works for me and I never learned better. But now I know a different way. I will probably continue with what I have until something concrete compels me to change.

Enricone watch the video again. At about 6:30 into it TechnoDadLife addresses the issue of permissions.

Hello again Outel

Here’s a short article on permissions. Maybe it will help

In the container specification you could declare one volume bind mount (in addition to one for /config).

volumes:

- /srv/dev-disk-by-......../media:/media

Then deploy the container.

I didn't think it could be done that way, but I won't dispute your word gderf . I learn something new every day.

In your compose file or stacks ( or even if you set up a container in Portainer) you need to have each folder mapped under volumes like so:

volumes:
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-......../media/tv:/tv
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-......../media/movies:/movies
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-......../media/musicals:/musicals
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-......../media/westerns:/westerns
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-......../media/homevideos:/home
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-......../media/vacationvideos:/vacation
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-......../media/workoutvideos:/workout
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-......../media/animation:/animation
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-......../media/cartoons:/cartoons
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-......../media/photos:/photos
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-......../media/music:/music

Whatever groups you want to show up in your Plex sidebar create a subfolder for it under your media Shared Folder. When you go to set the categories up in the Plex UI just pick the appropriate file type and choose the file path, and then name it how you want it to show up. You can use a file type more than once. For instance, movies, musicals, westerns and animation would start out with a Movies file type. Cartoons and tv would start out with a TV Shows file type. Vacation, workout, and home would all start out with the Other Videos file type. You can get insanely detailed in this way if you so desire. Hope that helps. If you need a visual of this initial setup, look at the last half of TechnoDadLife 's video on Plex.

If you want to add a category later just open the compose (or whatever you use) file and add a line under the volumes category and re-deploy.

Nextcloud only needs a Nextcloud docker, a mariadb docker and a swag docker combined in one Portainer stack or command line docker-compose file. I would work on Plex first because it is much easier to get up and running. There are good guides for both Nextcloud and Plex by macom in the Guides of this forum.

On backups this is the best information to be had anywhere. You should also backup your OMV system sd card and this link will cover whatever desktop you run.

I guess you could redeploy docker compose. There is an upgrade section farther down in the linuxserver/Nextcloud documentation.

Did you execute the upgrade from (the app GUI) Nextcloud’s Settings/Overview tab, and if so, did you remove the file /config/nginx/site-confs/default before starting the upgrade? The upgrade will generate a new one.

I found it in /var/lib/docker/volumes/xxxxxblablabla/_data

It’s not directly related to your posted issue, but do you have a large system drive? You could run into problems with your docker folder ( which can grow quite large over time) located on your system drive.

Quote from KM0201

Once you get the hang of docker, you will wonder why you ever did anything else

Yes!

That encryption will trip you up every time. Glad you found your docker files.

Quote from Soma

This way, how one would set the SWAG environment?

Code

  swag: 
    environment: 
      - PUID=1000 
      - PGID=100 
      - TZ=Europe/Lisbon 
      - URL=mydomain.xyz 
      - SUBDOMAINS=nextcloud,motioneye,bitwarden,etc 
      - VALIDATION=http 
#      - DUCKDNSTOKEN=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
      - EMAIL=xxxxx@gmail.com

I scratched my head at the duckdns line then I saw you had it commented out. I don’t know when, but I’m going to try this. I already have a domain name bought, but I don’t want to mess with a perfectly good Nextcloud install. Great snippet of code Soma .

Your containers will not be affected by a docker reinstall. With your existing setup do you have your Docker storage path to somewhere on /srv?
