Normally, your statement is correct, but it should be noted that the new router has the same configuration to the outside (IPV4 or IPV6).

By "same configuration to the outside", do you mean port forwarding?

Quote from Agricola

If you bring your current router with you then your gateway and subnet will remain the same, so it should go smoothly. Just do not discount Murphy's Law.

I will not bring my current router with me. There will be a brand new router in the new house. If the network configuration is not the same, I will change this.
I'm hoping Murphy's Law won't visit me

Hello!

I am wondering what happens when I physically move my OMV Nextcloud server from one house to another (with different routers)? This will not lead to any changes other than the router settings (ports etc) in the new house, right? Of course my DuckDNS domain should be updated, but this will run automatically in Docker.

Can someone confirm this if it is true?

Best regards

Cool! I will test it out.

All I want to do is connect to my backup server (which is on a different location) remotely. I am not going to do big data transfers, I just want to access the router and the server there - in case I want to change some settings. In that case, do you suggest using Wireguard before OpenVPN? The most important to me is security.

Thanks to both of you!

While the most popular image on docker hub doesn't have an image on docker hub, its github repo does have an aarch64 dockerfile - https://github.com/kylemanna/docker-openvpn. It should have everything need in the readme to get it going.

So this have to be configured via terminal and not within the Portainer GUI itself?

Then I much more would like the ledokun/armhf-docker-transmission-openvpn which seems like an ordinary Docker set up(?)

I will make another! Thank you for all your advices! It's because people like you people like me can be able to setting up a private NAS. THANK YOU!

Anyone know how to set up OpenVPN in Docker/Portainer on ARM boards? I have recently upgraded to OMV 5, but can't find any straight forward OpenVPN dockers for ARM boards (linuxserver/openvpn-as isn't supported...).

Quote from gderf

SSH/SFTP root login is either disabled by default or easily disabled if not.

You can expose whatever port you wish on your router and forward it to port 22 on OMV. Or you can change the port SSH/SFTP listens on.

But couldn't people then login to the system with root access? Or are you suggesting create an user for SSH transfers and disable root login?

Quote from ryecoaaron

If you have ssh enabled on your system, then sftp is already enabled.

Yes, but I don't want to expose root login to the WAN side of my router. On OMV 4.x I could use the SFTP plugin and change the port to something different than 22, then use this port for file transfers(?)

Also, how can I set up SFTP within Docker/Portainer? I want to use this transfer protocoll when moving files from main server to backupserver...

Ok, thanks! I am really happy you let me know about OMV 5.x for my board. Actually it works pretty well!

Now I am trying to figure out how to use OpenVPN with Portainer, but the linuxserver/openvpn-as docker isn't supported on ARM-boards. I have found several others (i.e. giggio/openvpn-arm), but they aren't looking as straight forward as linuxserver/xxxxxxxx dockers...

Clearing the browser cache helped (now the "System Information" tab works too)! However I cannot create any shared folders...

Just an add in:
In the near future I plan to set up two servers that will be used as storage servers. The main server will be a ROCKPro64 while the backup server (placed in a different location) is a ROCK64. Today I can download OMV 4.x for ROCK64 via OMV's website, while I only can download the same version for ROCKPro64 from ayufan. I wonder if I should wait until OMV 5.x becomes stable, or can upgrades from 4.x to 5.x be done without much effort? If I choose to start with OMV 4.x, I think of course setting up as much as possible in Portainer/Docker.

What would you do if you were like me - an ordinary person with no particular Linux skills? I guess ROCKPro64 and ROCK64 aren't on the priorty list when it comes to stability on OMV 5.x(?)

Ok, so I am up running with OMV 5.x. So far it works ok, but not great. This is understandable since this is a pre-release version.
For example there are no text or values under "System Information" in the dashboard tab (blank). Also pressing the Apply button after each change takes ages (this is not everything taking a long time).

But, the most important problem:
When trying to set up a datapool with the UnionFS plugin, it gives me this error when pressing save:

Did you got this message when setting up the plugin on your Rock64 board, @ryecoaaron?

Really awesome!
Can't wait until the weekend!

Thanks! I will use that.

By the way; is this version just like a pre-release version of OMV 5.x? I know the official haven't been released yet, but when it does, will I be able upgrading to that from todays version? Or do I have to flash the SD card again - with only the OMV image (like in OMV 4.x)?

Really cool! I will test this asap! Thank you SO much! I owe you my death

I will come back when things are tested out.

Which one? The one on "Screenshot 1" or the one on "Screenshot 2"?

Quote from crashtest

Just don't rebuild with your one and only SD-card, with OMV4 on it. Set that card aside.
Get another card, build OMV5 and try it out.

I will!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I will definitely try OMV 5.x!

Quote from ryecoaaron

With OMV 5.x, there will be no images with OMV pre-installed. So, download the latest Armbian image and run the install script.

So, on the Armbian page, which version should I download to properly install 5.x? There are so many different download links...

Or; what alternatives do I have to the Union Filesystems plugin? I really don't want to upgrade yet...
The reason why I want to merge my two file systems is because of the Nextcloud data folder. When setting up Nextcloud in Docker, I can only attach ONE folder, and without Union Filesystems, this folder will just aim at ONE of my hard drives (I have two)...

Do you have a good idea here?

I see.
So what you suggest is that I should upgrade to OMV 5 instead? I thought this version still was in a beta phase(?)

Do you know where I can find stable images for the 5.x version - Rock64?

Also, my dockers would run the same way, right? Isn't this one of the main reasons for using docker?

Sorry for all the questions, but I like getting tips from gurus like you
