So lightning took out my motherboard.
I was using an ASrock Extreme6 i picked up an EVGA Z87 classified.
I was running OMV 3.0 on a SSD with 6 4tb red drives set up with software RAID5. Put new mobo in and everything is freaking out. I didn't run OMV first aid or anything. What is the proper steps here?
Display port 100% works. Thanks!

I'll pick up an adapter and try it today. The instructions days something about needing a graphics card and I stopped reading. Then later got curious what those 2 ports were for.

It looks like it has 2 mini display ports... Mini display port to HDMI or VGA adapter should work right?
I picked this up without much research unfortunately... Usually I do better.
Anyway it doesn't have any on board video. Whats the cheapest card that would be compatible with OMV so I can get it up and running?
Thanks!
This the dell one you were talking about? Seems very reasonably priced

So I have to reconfigure things and it got me thinking. I have this powerful nas just sitting there streaming Plex and syncthing for my seedbox. While I occasionally rip Blu-ray with my crappy laptop and manage all my files from there.
I have just used OMV as my OS previously have software RAID set up on it and run it headless.
I was wondering what the cons would be to learning docker and running debian or windows if there's a docker for that so it can also be used as a regular PC.
Should I just switch to Ubuntu or something all together? My priority is stability and safe storage of my files. I feel like having it pull double duty will sacrifice that.

Thanks. Should I just run it as a RAID card? I'm doing software RAID now. If I ran hardware RAID and the card shit out I'd have to track down the same card correct? Or is it just that in theoretically I can take my 6 drives that are software RAID, move them to a new system and everything should be gravy vs always needing a RAID card?
LSI 9211-8i/Dell H200/Dell H310/IBM M1015 (they all can be flashed with the 9211 IT mode bios). While it is a raid card, when flashed with IT mode firmware, it acts like a sata card and works much better

Lightning took out my server. I was using an ASRock extreme6 with 10 SATA ports. That motherboard has been discontinued. Instead of searching for a motherboard with a large amount of SATA ports. I thought I might be better off getting a SATA card (not RAID card). Does anyone have any suggestions so I don't have to worry about compatibility issues with OMV?

Reboot worked. Thank you. It seemed to resolve a few quirks I had going on. I wonder what changed and why it started acting up. Thanks!
Then the files aren't owned by the users group. You should add the plex user to whatever group owns the files.
Group is users, owner is Phil
When i did
grep group /etc/groupit says plex is part of users group. It still doesn't work unless I do 644 or 640 for permissions. Do I need to reboot or reset permissions after adding plex to users?
Thanks!
sudo usermod -a -G users plex should work
DIdn't work. Still have to change permission on the file to give others read access
I'll give it a shot thanks! I need to fix syncthing on the seedbox before I'll know if it worked.. it keeps panicking and crashing.. its always something. lol
Should I give Plex user read only access under ACL? Should I set permissions recursivly?
You could probably add the plex user to the "users" group.
So plex doesn't have its own user under users in the OMV GUI.. Do I need to add one?
So syncthing downloads files to a folder called finished. I then use filebot on my windows PC ( where I have my omv box mounted with a drive letter) to move and rename the show.
Syncthing syncs the file to the Finished folder it gets written with 0640 permissions.. unless i change it to 0644 permission plex won't see the file... this used to work fine. I'm not sure if syncthing started writing the file with different permissions or if plex stopped being able to read them...
Do I need to add syncthing or plex to some group? I'm not sure what changed recently.
This would probably be a perfect opportunity to try running Plex in a docker.
Whats the benefit?
I got it going with a cronjob is there any issue with this?
Thank you very much. I think it worked.
Thats not working for me for some reason.
