    You may need an open port for retrieving the cert. But that does not mean nextcloud must be accessible from outside your lan. You could add sth like the following statements to your nextcloud proxy conf file

    Code
    allow 192.168.1.0/24;
    deny all;

    Your clients also need a DNS entry that points your domain cloud.example.org to the local ip eg 192.168…. or they would be blocked too. Could be done via pihole if you use it.

    BTRFS, I know the raid implementation is still somewhat suspect and the recommendation is not to use it production.

    Is it so? My most recent info was that the danger in using btrfs raid5 exists without power redundancy only - being an actual issue on any raid solution. Thus, power cut would be potentially dangerous on btrfs like on any other raid technology. In the other hand as long as there is no power cut btrfs would be as safe as any other solution. Did I miss sth?

    Currently I am using 1 disk without RAID system ( I know it is stupid).


    Why do you think so? Having no backup is stupid. Having raid and thinking that would be a backup is also stupid. Having no raid is just having no raid.

    Some years ago I was kind of addicted to always using the newest kernel. Don’t even know why exactly. Guess I just wanted to be as up-to-date as possible. At some point I learned that updating without a specific reason is usually just a waste of time.


    As a non-professional if you really need to unlock new features or your current kernel is going EOL: Update. If not: Do not. Never change a running system.

    It is your container having incorrect date. Not OMV. Perhaps it is just not using correct timezone. Depending on what image you use, there could be a env var or you could try to bind mount /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro. That was necessary on some of my containers too.

    I think I did explain it earlier but let me do this one more time.


    I had to manually modify some values in the system because OMV doesn't have proper fields for this. This is today, say that in the next year I may need to change something and I may forget that I did that. I'd like omv to tell me this. Either by checking md5sum of that file that it has been altered outside of omv or by allowing me to instruct omv that this config file has been altered by me and there should be no possibility to edit it from the gui anymore. Either option is fine for me.


    At the end of the day omv is just a tool like a car. And it obviously doesn’t fit your needs. Let’s say omv is a Smart. You would not ask a car company to change their Smart so you can transport 40 tons of stuff with it.
