NICE!

During the last months I've been working quite a lot with Docker, and today I realized that it would be an extra-cool plugin for OMV! With only one plugin, you can install almost every software on the planet via software containers, being sure that it will work out of the box! Thinking a little bit forward it could be a perfect architecture for developing official plugins, where every container includes also a mini webserver with the web-UI of the plugin, and only a webview/iframe needed in OMV to see it. During the last DockerCon I've seen a Raspberry Pi running hundreds of containers at once, so I think that performance wouldn't be such a problem. Let's think about it!!

same here: mdadm sends me a message containing only my email address..

I've solved this problem on the IRC channel (thanks davidh2k !) and I just want to explain so it can be useful for others.
After upgrading from 0.5 to 1.0 with a clean install, I had permission problems on my shares so I couldn't write in some folders. The solution was to use ACL and set read/write/execute for the group on the shared folders (and apply that on the subfolders). Before it was only read/execute.

Bye!

ok I'll try to do the same. thanks

I was thinking that because of the "RDONLY" written in the smb log that I have attached before, but I don't have that symbol in the finder. Just tested and I can write and delete new files. The problem is when I need to delete a file created by transmission.

I'm trying to delete the files from my mac, mounting the smb share. I'm using my user "virgafox", confirmed by the smb log in the screenshots. When I try to delete it says that I don't have priviledges. I can't understand why it mounts the share in read-only mode. thanks

done, but nothing changed also after reboot.

I've added the user to the group but the problem is still here. I made some screenshots that maybe can be useful:

From the smb log it seems that the folder is mounted read-only.

This is the output of stat:

root@nas:/media/4df86e93-00ed-4af1-af95-6a63729ccc05# stat downloads

Hi,

my transmission plugin downloads files in a shared folder called "downloads". My user has read/write priviledges on all my shared folders. My problem is that I can copy the downloaded files but I can't delete them. Any suggestions?

Thanks
Marco

oh ok, I think I'll press the button then..
thanks

I am testing 0.5 in a VM. I have enabled the VPN repo, but only OpenVPN AS is available as plugin. Is the other version only compatible with 0.6?
thanks

pptp is installed on the nas. I will try Plex, thanks a lot

Hi,

I'm trying to find a solution for remotely access my video files via VPN. I've enabled pptp VPN and dynamicDNS, forwarded only the pptp port on the router and it works, I can connect via VPN and access webgui, transmission on 9091, ssh etc. via the VPN server IP.
The first try was via SMB:
I can connect, mount drives and open a video file via VLC. The problem is that at the beginning it waits a lot before the video to start, like a long buffering. Then it starts, perfect quality, but after 2 minutes it blocks again. Quite useless.
Second try via miniDLNA:
When I'm at home on local network, the miniDLNA server pops up in VLC under Upnp servers, and I can access all the videos. When I'm out of home and connected via VPN it doesn't show. I figured out that this happens because DLNA/Upnp services discovery is done via broadcast messages, and those messages don't go on VPN connections, so no luck.

My internet connection has an upload of 10 Mbit/sec, so I think no problem on this side.
Does anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks a lot

Yes, the old plugin did not have the limits on .4. I pushed, by coding most of it myself, for the Access Server in the new plugin because it is easier for people to configure. The Access Server is more secure, or can be made so, too and people don't have to mess with certs.

I agree with you on this, at the beginning I found the certs operations a little bit confusing too.

There is an openvpn (not AS) plugin for OMV 0.6.

Great! Is there a release date for stable OMV 0.6 ?

uh ok thanks now it is more clear. The openVPN plugin for 0.4 is based on simple openVPN? So it hasn't this kind of limits.. right? I really like the webUI of access server because it is very complete, with a lot of useful options, but I need up to 5 connections and if I want to buy a license the minimum is 10 clients, 75$/year that is too much thanks anyway for your great work

I'm actually a bit confused. Is this limit only related to Access Server or applies to OpenVPN in general?

Is there a limit of connected clients? Do I need to buy openvpnAS licenses? Thank you

I'm really looking forward to see this plugin released in order to upgrade to 0.5! great work guys! many thanks!

what I need to do is to simply keep the UPS on also after that the NAS is switched off because of a power interruption. A the moment, by default, it switches off itself after the NAS is switched off securely. I need that it keeps providing power to the other devices connected to it until the power comes back, or the battery dies. So I thing that I should set that delay to infinity.. not sure if it is possible. thanks
