I didn’t think of that.

install OMV on the cheapest SSD you can find

That’s fine if you are using an AMD-64 machine and don’t mind sacrificing a SATA port.

Well...your data disk should be okay. The files are still there. Just don’t format it when you start over

A 32gig SanDisk ultra is perfect. About 7 US dollars. Get two and you will have one for a backup. You can’t loose.

Funny thing but I had two files held back a couple of days ago when upgrading a Debian 10 desktop. I’m almost sure one of them was linux-image-amd64. Can’t remember if I just restarted and tried apt-get update and upgrade again, or what, but all went well. Wish I had paid better attention.

Can you boot from your backup sd card?

Exfat is the only viable way for me to make data accessible on OMV and Mac directly.

Not sure what you mean by "viable" and "directly". I am having no problems accessing ext4 discs with my mac's and a Debian desktop. I do not currently have any OMV drives via usb, but I do not remember having any problems when I did.

On a Mac use Angry Ip Scanner to find your machine’s address, but look for “xu4”, not “hc2”. If it doesn’t show up do a hard restart and run the ip scanner again.

Only thing I know is rescan your Advanced ip scanner, and look for any ip's you don't recognize. Type ip's into your browser that are near where you last had a connection. Sometimes the ip will change after first reboot because a short DHCP lease is set on the router. Also your hostname will not be "hc2" but "xu4". you might even type into your browser xu4.local. Refresh the info on your router. Get a bigger hammer. Eventually you are going to have to unplug it and see if a hard restart helps.

Thanks. I’ll have a closer look at your settings and try that.

It is terribly frustrating. You really want to protect your equipment, but aren't sure that it will even work if there is a power outage. I had to outages a couple of weeks ago. That is why I bought a UPS, hoping that NUT would just work. I need to read the manual I guess.

I just found the user manual here. Maybe your answer can be found there. I have just recently purchased and installed a CyberPower CP1000AVRLCD to protect my NanoPi M4, and am trying to figure out similar ups logs. Sorry I can't be any help.

If it is all set up properly you shouldn't have any problems rebooting. I couldn't say why you are getting MBR error.

I had this same issue back in November 2019. Changing the iptables back to legacy provided the solution. This article was what I used to switch the iptables to legacy.

Bless you. I knew it had to be one of those Egg of Columbus deals. Thank you macom

I'm assuming I can't backup the boot drive while it's running

That’s correct. Usually when there has been a major update I will shut down and back up the boot drive. I will save the three previous backups on my computer. I always clone the backup too and make it the boot drive until the next backup.

Scheduled jobs are great. Sounds like you understand how Rsync works. Good.

The NanoPi doesn’t have the muscle to do that. I transcode manually on my desktop machine. I like it that was because in my workflow I edit out commercials at the same time. In the opening chapters of guide I linked to there is a brief discussion of requirements for transcoding. I’m not sure but I think you might need an i3 or i5 intel processor to do that on the server.

1. Buy two 32gig thumb drives and install OMV on one of them. SanDisk Ultra Fit is perfect.
2. As soon as you get a stable install make a backup using the second thumb drive. Test it by booting with it. Back up your system regularly.
3. Create all of your data shares on one disk.
4. Use Rsync to create a mirror image of your data disk with the second disk.

This guide beginning on page 58 will be the best advice you ever receive on this forum.

everything works as it should with the new variable OMV_WEBGUI_TITLE!

After this last update I took a look at the controlpanelabstract.inc file, and noted the changes, but I'm hanged if I "get" it. I'm sorry to be a dullard, but how do you implement OMV_WEBGUI_TITLE? I'm pretty good at cut and paste. Just ask my first-grade teacher (1962, Summa Cum Laude). Beyond that I'm just an average guy.

It also works for me. I don't know if it is the result of the docker-compose way of installation, or just a {relatively) recent improvement of the docker image. I made a new install of Nextcloud using macom 's [how-to] before the first of the year and it renewed without doing a thing. Previous installs required a certbot renew command when within 30 days of expiration.

Ditto here. Didn’t mean to create more work.
