Add the user to the ssh group to be able to login via ssh. If you want him to get elevated rights, add him to the sudo group as well.

it works! Thank you very much

Hi,

I use Putty for ssh connection to OMV6. It seems that you can only log in via ssh only with root privileges.

I'd like to add a new user to log in with in OMV , install some packages, and create folders with user privileges only. I created a new user in the GUI, but it is meant to be only for Samba which has nothing to do with a system user.

Can I create a system user via GUI or do I need CLI necessarily for that?

By the way, install gocryptfs, but I had a few problem with folder permissions.

Thanks

It is not a major issue nor an issue at all. Sharedfolders are being used by services and must be available permanently. That’s why unmounting / locking is blocked. It is to prevent errors due to misusage.

Your usecase sounds to me like you perhaps should not have chosen full drive encryption but client side encryption. Or just use both. Sth like gocryptfs, boxcryptor, etc.

Frequently locking and unlocking server drives and turning on and off services is not the proper way.

You are trying to achieve sth full drive encryption is simply not meant for.

you're probably right. Thanks

.. but keep in mind that the smb.conf will not be rewritten, so the shares seem to be available.

ah ok. it's not a major issues actually. I asked if it was possible to lock the drive back on the fly for security and privacy reasons. I might want to lock it back and keep the OMV server running. Thanks

I fear this can not be done that way from the UI as OMV checks for consistency in it's config.

Meaning that it can be done via CLI at least? or I need to shut OMV down or reboot necessarily if I want to lock the drive back? Thanks

Probably there is a shared folder on the disk.

YEs, two shared folders. I first decrypt the HDD at the starting each time, then they are available on the LAN for me to use. But I'd like to lock the HDD back when I don't need the two shared folders anymore, without shutting down the system. Thanks

As it says, still in use. Have you unmounted the drive?

It seems that I can't unmount it for some reasons:

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I installed LUKS disk encryption plugin, and encrypted an entire HDD which I unlock every time I run my OMV6. I also put some stuff in there

and it has been working great so far. Today, I tried to lock the HDD via webgui but I got this error message:

What is the matter with it?

Thanks

I did it!

I detached and formatted the HDD again in Proxmox, I then passthrough it with a different command tag that is "-iscsi1. I wiped it again in OMV5 and encrypted finally.

It works now:

That is more of a warning. If the system is very busy and can't communicate in time. What kind of hardware?

old. it is just for learning purpose actually

Zitat von ryecoaaron

I've never tried LUKS on a pass through drive. There must be something on the drive header that LUKS can't access because it is passed through. Not sure how to avoid this but there is nothing the plugin can do.

I thought that too.

Anyway, I reboot boot Proxmox and OMV5 and tried to encrypt the HDD again. Got this this time:

Zitat von ryecoaaron

Are you able to sudo wipefs -a /dev/vda

I ran this command in OMV5 via putty an got this

Disk /dev/vda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors

Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

root@openmediavault:~# sudo wipefs -a /dev/vda

root@openmediavault:~#

Thanks

Hi,

I installed OMV5 as a Virtual Machine in Proxmox 7. The installation process went ok. I also installed the extra plug, then openmediavault-luksecnryption.

I had already passthought a HDD to my OMV5 VM from Proxmox WEBGUI. Everything seems to be ok so far since OMV sees it (vda), as you can see in the image I uploaded underneath.

Unfortunately when I try to encrypt it I get an error message I don't know what exactly is about.

Could you please help figure it out and fix the problem please?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I watched this tutorial by Tecnno Dad:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HPXGKfFibc

I was wondering how my dynamic public IP get updated. Do the container installed manage to do it by itself or it is something I have to do via cron linux command as suggested on duckdns site? As far as I know, many DDNs services often asks to install their client on the your host machine to send their servers your IP updated on a regular basis.

Could you help me figure it out please?

Thanks

I probably fixed it.

I found this discussion:

error "Failed start file system quotas" at boot

I defined and saved some quotas in the OMV interface under filesystem/quotas for a user, and the error message disappeared at the next startup.

UPDATE: Nope! I got the same error message again

Hi everyone,

I got this at OMV 5 startup most times:

If I press Control-D or type exit, the startup goes on and OMV5 start regularly, but it is a bit annoying.

Is there any way to fix it?

Thanks

Debian first method gives some more possibilities during the installation. There are some cases where this method worked better than using the ISO.

After you installed Debian you will run the installation script*, which installs OMV, OMV-extras and the flashmemory-plugin (unless you exclude it). That might be something you want or not. In any case you can remove, what is not needed after that.

Some user had issues with booting after they shrunk the partition. In some cases is was because they did not move swap to the left.

No matter which route you go, you should end up with a very similar system. Any difference can be removed later, if needed, by adding or removing packages.

I would go the debian-first route. But there is no reason to overthink this.

*) I assume, as I did not watch the videos

ok, I'll go for the debian-first route then. Thanks

Why not simply try both and decide for yourself.

Shouldn't take long.

The installation process can even be succeful for both methods, but it is not only about get the job done. I'd like to know which one is the best and why, also if either of them can go through some issues after a while. Maybe other expert OMV users can give their thoughts. Thanks

Hi everyone,

I'm going to install OMV5 on a netbook.

I came across these two videos by Techno Dad which use different methods to get the job done:

1)

Danger! Use One Disk for Openmediavault and Your Data

2)

One Disk Openmediavault 5 (OMV5) Install and Setup

I was wondering which is the best, or which one would you recommend and why?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

In my OMV5, I enabled Samba and created a few shared folders. I created a few users in it as well. Now, each user through his or her OS (Windows 10 mostly) can only get access to his or her files via authentication. There is also a public folder whose files can be read and modified by everyone in my LAN. Good.

Since I am not a linux expert (although I started studying it), I don't know well how to use linux by commands in a shell, but for learning purpose, I'd like to know which commands would show me how the file smb.conf is set up, which folders are shared and their permissions, users and authentication details too.

Could you tell me which commands should I run?

Thanks
