  • URBackup Server NEWBIE

    I have tried to use TDL's plex video to install Urbackup on OMV5 via Docker Hub. On my Portainer interface it says that UrBackup is running but I do not see it on OMV web interafce under Services and more importantly when I try to connect UrBackup web interface with port 55414, it says 'site cant be reached', so i guess i have done something wrong. any siggestions?

    When connected you should see the drive under storage -> disks, select it and click wipe of the menu, wipe the drive then create an ext4 file system under file systems, that's it.

    okay - getting there but i cant see urbackup in my plugins (omv extras has been installed). ive checked for new plugins

    In answer to all of the above, yes.
    But they are not 'ext4 files' the files simply reside on that file system nothing more.

    Thanks geaves (and apologies for the many silly questions). i'm going to persevere with this. is there any quick way to re-format my ntfs drives as ext4 through OMV?

    okay i think i havee missed the point!!


    so if my ntfs drives one day crash, i can continue to use the identical files on 'ext4' OMV backup immediately through the server and continue on as normal?


    but if i ever decide to not use OMV one day, then those 'ext4' files need to be copied back onto a 'ntfs' filesystem so it can be used directly by a windows machine?

    excluding plex and zoneminder files which are on linux, so no issues there.


    but for my work, i have a windows machine which have loads of work files etc, so all i want to do is backup those files onto another hard drive using OMV using the same format
    if one day, for whatever reason, my initial windows hard drive crashes, i can simply ditch the old window hard drives with the backup hard drives and continue on as if nothing happened thereafter creating another backup system.


    i dont like using/relying cloud storage, i'm old and old school.

    Fair enough. Message received loud and clear. As a noob, all i wanted was a linux file server (like OMV) which has plex and zoneminder plugin installed with their linux hard drives on a network together with a windows system that could all be backup using OMV. I see that maybe I was dreaming too much so time to abandon this project.


    Many thanks to everyone for their help in any event. Really appreicated.

    I don't use OMV this days I just switched to just using docker on a linux machine.
    What I can tell mounting NTFS on linux is a pain and should not be considered long term solution.


    As for a suggestion, to me it looks like you are performing operation not with the root / admin user, try to ssh into your machine, with root user, locate the hadd under cd /srv if it is there, mount it and see if it mounts of gives you an error.

    I was getting the same error and followed and have successfully mounted on OMV. But when I add a shared folder and select Device for the dropdown menu, nothing happens it wont show the OS drive nor the supposedly mounted NTFS drive. Any suggestions?

  • Error Mounting USB drive.

    Quote from ryecoaaron

    The OS filesystem is listed just to show free space. You cannot use it for shared folders. So, if you install OMV on a 1 TB hard drive, you will need to partition it to use it for data. The concept of OMV is not put data on the OS drive so that you don't lose data when/if it fails.

    I have used gparted live bootable to create 2 partitions on my HDD - one is 20gb (/dev/sda1) for the OS and the second is the rest of space (/dev/sda2) - all formatted to ready to go.


    I then reinstalled OMV but when I get to screen where it wants the install OMV OS - it only finds SCS1 (sda) which is the combination of /sda1 and /sda2 so it looks as though it going to install and reformat the OS back onto the full drive?

  • Error Mounting USB drive.

    Quote from ryecoaaron

    If you didn't mount the drive in the OMV web interface, you can't use it in the web interface. Problem #2 - https://forum.openmediavault.o…tions-to-common-problems/

    thanks ryecoaaron. it is the hard drive that i installed OMV on. I did not mount anywhere, it just appeared under file systems as 'mounted' but I can not unmount and then mount it through the OMV web interface because those buttons are greyed out. The hard drive is 1 TB so did I need to create partitions etc?

  • Error Mounting USB drive.

    In addition to the above, I now cannot see my EXT4 file when I try to add a shared folder. When I click on the 'Select a device', nothing happens, even though my /dev/sda1 is mounted.


    can anyone help please?

  • motioneye not working

    Hi - I've been following the excellent youtube videos/guides of TDL as well. Trying to install zoneminder on OMV5 but cant see shellinabox (followed an 'older' guide from TDL) so not sure if OMV5 does away with shellinabox.
    Anyway, I improvised by using Putty which seemed to work.


    After installing v4l-utils, I enter v4l2-ctl --list-devices but I get an error 'Cannot open device /dev/video0, exiting'. I have an IP camera on my network which works fine with ispy, so it is there. The camera is password protected so is that why or is there another way of getting the information required from the command.


    Can anyone kindly help?

  • Internal Server Error

    Hi all, I am a newbie and just installed OMV5. Everything seemed to install fine and I can get into the webgui no issues. I can make some changes through the web control panel but also encountering problems with other settings. For example, if I attempt to enable SMB/CIFS, I get the an internal server error as follows:



    {"response":null,"error":{"code":0,"message":"The property 'localmaster' does not exist in the model 'conf.service.smb'.","trace":"OMV\\AssertException: The property 'localmaster' does not exist in the model 'conf.service.smb'. in \/usr\/share\/php\/openmediavault\/config\/configobject.inc:71\nStack trace:\n#0 \/usr\/share\/php\/openmediavault\/config\/configobject.inc(186): OMV\\Config\\ConfigObject->assertExists('localmaster')\n#1 \/usr\/share\/php\/openmediavault\/config\/configobject.inc(271): OMV\\Config\\ConfigObject->set('localmaster', true, true)\n#2 \/usr\/share\/php\/openmediavault\/config\/configobject.inc(233): OMV\\Config\\ConfigObject->setFlatAssoc(Array, true, false)\n#3 \/usr\/share\/openmediavault\/engined\/rpc\/smb.inc(81): OMV\\Config\\ConfigObject->setAssoc(Array)\n#4 [internal function]: Engined\\Rpc\\Smb->setSettings(Array, Array)\n#5 \/usr\/share\/php\/openmediavault\/rpc\/serviceabstract.inc(123): call_user_func_array(Array, Array)\n#6 \/usr\/share\/php\/openmediavault\/rpc\/rpc.inc(86): OMV\\Rpc\\ServiceAbstract->callMethod('setSettings', Array, Array)\n#7 \/usr\/sbin\/omv-engined(537): OMV\\Rpc\\Rpc::call('SMB', 'setSettings', Array, Array, 1)\n#8 {main}"}}



    I have re-installed OMV5 but still getting the same issues.


    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
