I don't know when the error occur, because is random... sometimes i lost the share but the webpage and qbitorrent are working, sometimes the docker container fails but the shares are online.
sometimes it appears to work, but is not responding...
P.S. by the way, i pulled the trigger for the upgrade...
You try the upgrade first. If it fails you can still try a fresh install.
In the GUI of OMV or in CLI in /var/log/syslog or with journalctl -e
Thank you very much, I'll try the upgrade.
logs.
Where can i find them?
As OMV5 and Debian 10 go EOL soon, I would do a omv-release-upgrade to OMV6/Debian 11 and see if the issue disappeared.
I'm thinking the same thing. But i also thinking if it's wise to do a clean install of OMV6
Hi all, i have a basic OMV 5 installation running good since the last summer.
It's been a while i started noticing the system sometimes needs and "hard reboot" because the shared disks are no longer reachable and sometimes is also impossible to ssh into.
It's a simple nas with two disks online and qbittorrent in docker.
Where can i start to troubleshoot this issue?
I found a simple way to backup: i'm trying the plugin usbbackup in the omv repo. Plugged in my new USB3.0 Disk formatted in NTFS without the need to mount or set anything it; only set source and destination. I hope he'll do the job.
The "rsync" method you mentioned seems really good, but i'd like to have a second internal drive to use with.
Display MoreYes, there's a USB backup plugin which I use for my own data.
If you want to backup a disk that has docker or system data, you'll probably need a more complex solution.
I use Borgbackup and borgmatic (which helps configuring borgbackup):
- borgmatic allows to run commands before backups. I use it to pause all my docker containers before the backup. Especially for databases, you'll want things stopped/paused otherwise your backup may not work
- borgbackup backs docker data up to my other drives
- once done my containers are restored.
Borgbackup supports: versioning, deduplication, history, encryption. It's super fast and efficient.
I can share more details if you're interested.
Now i have two disks, one for docker and some media i don't really care to keep forever. (But it's always a good thing to backupAnd one DATA disk with all my Life... ) It's a 2TB drive and i'd like to backup on a external USB drive i just bought.
I'll have a look at borgbackup, thanks
p.s. nice build, i love the node 304, i have my main pc built on it!
Hi, it was referenced in shared folders, resetperms plugin and it hosted the home directory.
Once removed all i was able to unmount the "ghost" disk. Installed docker on another disk et voilà. Up and running again.
Now i feel the need to learn how to backup my disk(s) easily.
There is a plugin for backup on a usb disk if i recall correctly?
Thanks, i swapped sata and power cable with no luck; i placed the disk on a sata usb box and it is definitively dead... It makes strange noises and gives all kinds of errors.
Now the problem is OMV continue to see it mounted and i don't know how to remove it: maybe is "referenced" somewhere.
I tried to comment the entry in fstab but it doesn't works.
Hi all, i think on my HDD's suddenly death yesterday...
I was playing messing around some containers: mainly qbittorrent, transmission and gluetun; starting/stopping services, trying to figure out why i have a very low seed speed. (Later i found the culprit: nordvpn doesn't allows port forwarding so.... but this is another story) So i was changing ports for testing, while at a certain point it was no longer possible to deploy a container... it Says the ports are already in use, even if all other services are stopped..
I did the only thing an "experienced windows user" could have done: i restarted the machine.
Et voilà: the disk with docker installed is no longer shared, nor mounted and under disks it have a nice RED light.
(I have 3 HDD, 2 for DATA's and this one for temporary torrent download/seed and for configuration files)
Is this a sudden death?
Can i made a "harddisk-ectomy" and install docker/portainer on one of the other disks without having to reinstall OMV from zero?
Hany help appreciated...
Thanks
Thanks a lot
Hi, in my first day of vacation i was able to sit at my desk for work on my installation.
First i discovered why it was impossible for me run a OMV VM on my notebook, it hangs completely: bridged network over wifi not compatible with my hardware.. so i "learned" i need to port forwarding a NAT network. On this VM i figured how to route the traffic of various containers in other containers (i hope you can understand my "engrish"): for start it's qbittorrent running through "gluetun".
I'm happy like a little baby playing with a new toy.
The next thing would be "syncthing". Then i'll want to explore the potentiality and flexibility of OMV + Docker.
Could you suggest some "interesting" containers? Soimething about streaming music/movies, or something you consider a "must-have".
T H A N K S for all
One small step after another:
- I created an img of my usb drive with DD, so i would be able to restore it flashing with etcher.
- I figured why i couldn't setup a OMV VM on my notebook (the host hangs at first network load), so now i think i could build a mobile VM giving me more flexibility
At least i'm happy because i'm learning a lot of things thanks of you guys who have a lot of patience to teach us n00bs
Think -> "OS backup" and you won't have these worries.
It seems a smart idea...
in OMV every little thing is intended to do "manually" and it takes a lot of time (i sadly don't have).
I'm a little dejected. I tried to follow the instruction as shown in this video, and i succesfully configured and started gluetun with nordvpn.
At the moment to "say" qbittorrent to pass trough the gluetun container i deleted the ports as per instruction and i clicked "deploy container".
Now the cataclysm happened... It stuck a deployment in progress. I tried another route.. i stopped both the container and tried to configure a second time, but i only received errors since omv hangs...
Rebooted the vm and logged into portainer showed me lots of errors "can't fin endpoints" et similia..
Looking at the dashboard i saw i have 85 "images" that i cannot delete because are "referenced" in some ways....
It seemed an easy procedure.. but it destroyed my omv installation.
Now i need to start from beginning and i'm afraid this could happen also in my real server..
Do you know what may have happened?
Short and simple for "everyone access".
Shared Folder Permissions: Others, Read/Write
SMB: Public, Guest Access Allowed Read Only, NO
For more detail, look at this -> OMV permissions
Thanks! I'll read carefully
Hi, sorry guys but build/study this new nas is hard to conciliate with life family and works, so it's probably taking longer than necessary, but yesterday i finally dismissed the old server and decided to turn on the new build.
I have three disks,
- (300GB) mainly for storing temporary torrent and docker containers
- (2TB) my previous disk
- (500GB) for storing movies/series and GF's stuff
To start i decided to create only public shares, and in Android i can access all my data without any password (i use "solid explorer). Windows (i plan to get rid of it "soon"), however, asks for username/password when i click on the name of my nas. I haven't tried in linux at the moment.
I used the plugin "reset perms" on all the shared folders, and i confirm i don't need the old name/password to access the "old disk".
(everyone: read/write; guests allowed)
Maybe the culprit is something related to the "user" i created? (groups are "sudo"; "ssh"; "sambashare").
I plan to secure the 2TB share with a password, but for now i tried "unprotected". Can someone explain me the right steps to follow?
Another question: regarding VPN.
After a little search i think i'll opt for Nordvpn because i think it offer good ratio "price/quality",
do you think is "doable" for me to use this container with qbittorrent?
ls -ahl /srvYou need to create those directories yourself and create the bind mounts for them in the docker setup.
The documentation for the image you are using is all you really need.
Thanks for the answer.
I read the documentation but i didn't find anything.
After a little rest (and a big dinner), my brain started to work again. And i remembered i created a sharedfolders called "appdata" (via OMV GUI) and manually a folder for the downloads in the disk i wanted (in windows file manager). Then i wrote the right path in portainer and now it seems to works!
In the "next episode" i'll need to swap my data disk from my old server".
I just need to recreate the mount points?
Hi, today i started to work, play with the "real" hardware. I tried a couple of HDD i have laying around to test noise and i started to configure a shared folder and installed docker on the hard disk.
One thing i can't recall is how to set up docker; i try to explain: i wanted to install the qbittorrent/server but i don't remember how to setup the "config" and the "download" folder....
I need to create them before attempting to configure the server or these folders where created by docker itself?
it passed a lot of time and i don't remember which guides/tutorials i followed
Display MoreI don't use Qbittorrent, but if you're downloading OK, it is probably OK...
That said...
Command line...
Codedocker logs -f qbittorrentwill show the log for the qbittorrent container... To exit back top prompt, Cntrl + C
If you're more the point and click type,
1. Log in to Portainer and go to your container listing
2. Under "Quick Actions" column, you'll see 4 icons.
3. The first one is "Logs", simply click the logs icon for Qbittorrent..
You can then scroll through the log, download it if necessary, etc.
Many thanks, i think the plugin works without any issue, (unluckyli is only a VM, so i need to repeat all the steps to make it working on the real hardware).
You can check the qbittorrent log file and see what's going on.
/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-92a2f17a-c3e9-4de0-b09a-bbf10f6988e5/appdata/qb/qBittorrent/data/logs/qbittorrent.log
In case you are new to torrenting in general and don't already know this, your public IP address will be visible to anyone in the swarms you join.
Yeah.... i know..
I'm trying to evaluate a good VPN, and how to setup in OMV if it's possible. Do you use any?
