Thanx, I'll give it a Shot.

One of the reasons that I am wanting to do a Headless install is that when you have no monitor connected to the Mac Mini the GPU is shutdown (at least that's what my research leads me to believe. That should avoid having a driver installed to a failing device.

***Bump***

Does anybody know if there is a easy way to "Factory Reset? OMV?

I just want all settings, files and Dockers (and everything else) like a fresh install.

I don't care if I need to attach installation media, it seems like there should be a fairly simple few commands to start the installation script on a running system. I'm fairly noob with linux cli.

Thank you for the amazingly quick response!

If I do a clone, I'm not starting fresh. I did a lot of poking and playing, and want to erase any potential problems that may arise. I'm looking to have this running for quite a long time.

Hello to all of the OMV Deities, Masters, Enlightened, and Beginners! (like me)

I have OMV-5 installed on a ext. hdd on a 2011 Mac Mini that has a bad GPU.

I did the install as a test to see if it works for my needs. (it does!)

I have now gotten the "server" hdd cable and installed a 4TB Data drive, and a 16GB sata ssd from an old Chromebook.

The initial install was frustrating because of the bad GPU, but I did get it working.

NOW I want to start fresh on the ssd...

TLDR

Here's my question:

How do I install clean to the ssd WITHOUT booting to install media?

I have root access with Putty, and internet access. I just want to run a clean install, then remove the ext. hdd on reboot and remotely configure as normal.

Any help with this challenge is Greatly appreciated.

Thanx!
