I'm getting email error messages like the following on boot, one for each drive. Everything work fine just reporting in case it is a bug.
Host: \omv.workgroup

This triggered the monitoring system to: restart
Jellyfin - Emby fork free works well in Docker on OMV.
Jellyfin
Works well with OMV 4 and 5 in docker install - free and clients for IOS and Android.
Seagate have a drive utility for Windows that allows you to set spindown time. So move the drive to a Windows machine then move it back.
Nice job.
Run omv-firstaid from the terminal the LAN address may have moved with the new hardware - a similar thing happened to me.
Having a second go at getting this to work - gave up last time. Plugin installs but when I set an alarm and go to confirm I get:
Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C.UTF-8; omv-salt deploy run --no-color wakealarm 2>&1' with exit code '1': debian: ---------- ID: configure_wakealarm Function: file.managed Name: /etc/wakealarm.conf Result: False Comment: Unable to manage file: none of the specified sources were found Started: 13:59:35.753151 Duration: 19.481 ms Changes: Summary for debian ------------ Succeeded: 0 Failed: 1 ------------ Total states run: 1 Total run time: 19.481 ms
Anyone have this plugin working?
Could you replace the mobo with a Raspberry PI and SATA hat or similar? Which would give USB 3 for further drive expansion.
Intel CPUS (such as below) are adequate for hardware transcoding using the CPU's Intel graphics, no need for a separate card. My modest Pentium can easily handle three three concurrent 1080 transcoding jobs, maybe more but haven't tried.
Look up Technodadlife videos on youtube - the recent ones that use Portainer and OMV5.
Yes Docker is best way to install pretty much everything under OMV 5. Worth learning, a good investement of your time.
Start here:
Is the certificate self-signed or letsencrypt?
If the former then use the latter method.
I do exactly the same here and this works:
rsync://admin@192.168.1.4/Multimedia/Movies
Yes but the usual advice is don't use raid on USB drives. It's not supported through the OMV web interace so you'd have to do it via the command line. A better alternative is UnionFS/SnapRaid which is OK with USB drives and caters for drives of different sizes which is likely your case.
That should make a nice system.
1) Either but I'd use SSD - best choice NVME M.2 (not SATA M.2 as it will steal one of your SATA slots).
2) Same as with any Linux system numerous trutorial on the web as to how to recover. You'll have media files on the HDs so they'll be intact if you need to reinstall OMV.
3) I'd imagine so - I have same CPU in a Windows desktop and have run one Linux VM without trouble and you have plenty RAM for the job. OMV will likely use 1% of you CPU most of the time.
4) I'd imagine so unless they are 4k files, then I don't know. Research if hardware transcoding is supported with that CPU/APU and maybe take a look at Jellyfin instead of Plex, it is free and supports HW transcoding - I have an intel Pentium Gold - much more modest than your CPU - and it transcodes 1080 x265 in hardware at 300+ fps.
Given your HDs are various sizes SnapRaid is a better choice than RAID.
My old QNAP TS-420 with Marvell CPU has WOL. I used to have an Odroid XU4 and whilst WOL wasn't possible wake by RTC was, so may work on HC2 also.
I can explain how I do it but I use Apache on an Ubuntu 20.04 system as my webserver - this is 192.168.1.2. It has the LetsEncrypt certs.
OMV is on 192.168.1.3 and doesn't face the web directly.
I run SyncThing on OMV and on the Ubuntu/Apache device I have a virtual server as follows:
ProxyPass /syncthing-omv/ http://192.168.1.3:8384/
<Location /syncthing-omv/>
ProxyPassReverse http://192.168.1.3:8384/
Require all granted
</Location>
On that device I have a folder /var/www/html/syncthing-omv with a one line index.html file:
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5; url=http://192.168.1.3:8384/">
So I'm away from home and want to look at SyncThing on OMV:
https://my.duckdns.org/syncthing-omv
Apache directs the request to the OMV device and the certificate is good.
Thanslate this principle to Niginx and you'll have it going.
But...this took a lot of working out, maybe isn't the best way, and other web apps such as Jellyfin required a different approach.
Hardware transcoding works in the Jellyfin docker and proably others but haven't tried. Letsencrypt only works on a device that has ports 80 and 443 exposed so you can't use on two devices (unless you have two internet accounts and two routers). What you can do is have the cert on one device and use its webserver to forward certain addresses to the second device
Setting up a full web server under Docker to run, for example a Wordpress site, is a pretty advanced task. My suggestion is to get a second device such as a cheap OrangePi or similar and use that instead with Ubuntu server as the OS and then follow a web tutorial on setting up a site. Once this has been mastered then think about trying the same under Docker.
An alternative is to use free web hosting site such as x10 hosting to learn the ropes at no cost.
I just use NFS and the media server (Emby, Jellyfin) takes care of forwarding the streams to wherever you are.
