Some intro material tends to go off in the comp-sci direction, rather than the 'how do I get stuff done' direction. There's valid arguments and audiences for both approaches.

One intro that spends a minimum amount of time with the theory and then gets down to simple, applied projects is 'Automate the Boring Stuff with Python'. You may see it referred to in places as 'AtBS'. It doesn't get into some of the finer points of things like classes, iterators, generators, decorators or lambda functions... but it hops right into web scraping, working with Gmail, Excel, PDFs, CSV files, automating GUI applications (not writing GUIs, but interacting with them, like automating games, logins, etc.). There are digital and dead-tree copies available for purchase, and a course over on Udemy that walks thru the examples in the book. Best of all... you can get it all for free right on the author's website at https://automatetheboringstuff.com/.

Python Crash Course is another popular introductory course. It's a bit more of a typical intro smorgasbord... works up thru classes, does a little Django (popular web framework), a little game development, a little GUI dev, etc.

Dunno. I tried going into the 'advanced' search... the default is sorted by 'descending', which one would think is newest-to-oldest. On the off-chance that I was mis-understanding that, I selected 'ascending'.... which gave me the same set of results, but starting in 2012 and working forward to 2015.

Sorry, took me a minute to un-b0rk my system. Went to log in and got caught in the (in)famous web GUI login loop I had been holding off running much in Docker, just Portainer, LibreSpeed and Smokeping. Either one of those went completely nuts over the last 12 hours, or it looked like somehow I ended up with a *lot* of copies of the UniFi controller image downloaded (was planning on tinkering with that today). Not sure how I ended up using 25 GB either way but that was what had things wedged. Stopped LibreSpeed and Smokeping, and did a `docker system prune -a` to wipe things (mostly) clean. Back to ~12% usage of the root FS (running in a VM), yay...

Anywho... I guess where I'm a little fuzzy on the stuff on the 'Kernel' tab is the why/when for each item.

Guess I kind of get the notion of 'holding' or freezing a particular kernel release to avoid unpleasant surprises, and hand-in-hand with that, the ability to pick or roll-back to a particular kernel version.

The Proxmox stuff... is that for *running* proxmox, or for use inside a proxmox vm? Is there a plan to install proxmox 'over' OMV, rather than run OMV inside Proxmox?

I've used clonezilla, gparted and systemrescueCD in the (distant) past, so I have a little bit of familiarity with their use cases... just not sure how that ties into having them available directly inside OMV?

Thanks!

You probably aren't entering your search correctly. Make sure to change the dropdown to Everywhere

https://forum.openmediavault.o…276/&highlight=omv-extras

https://forum.openmediavault.org/wsc/index.php?search-result/112277/&highlight=omvextra

I did. I got exactly what you show in that first search there. The only thing different in the second, so far as I can tell, is the spelling of the search term. I did both of those, with 'Everywhere' selected - which doesn't make a whole lot of sense, as 'Forum' should be the correct option.

Very nice!

I just started putting drives in a new DS920+ a week or two ago... I'd had a 2-bay Netgear ReadyNAS years ago, and my own tower 'server' before that (probably 10-15 yrs ago). Been tinkering with RPi's since...

I've seen a bunch of other 'NAS Killer' builds over at places like serverbuilds.net... just kind of 'discovered' OMV a few months ago, and wasn't really ready (in my mind) to go back down the rabbit hole of building my own storage server. I don't want or need a big tower (or rack) with umpteen drives, that sounds like a jet engine spooling up.

Something like this, though... almost gets me interested in going the DIY route again. Bravo!

Hello there,

Recently re-did my OMV install, and following the "Optional, but recommended" guidance in the install docs, installed the OMV-extras plugin and enabled the repos (including 'testing').

I see an extra tab labeled 'Kernel', that has some options for freezing or holding the kernel, selecting a specific kernel, along with a few other things... but not much in the way of help, either in the form of links, tool tips, or... anything. The omv-extras.org site doesn't seem to have much (anything) to add that I could find. Are there any good sources of info on this tab, or am I better off just turning off the 'testing' repo and not worrying about it.

As a side note... when I came here to search for 'omv-extras' or "omv extras"... the most recent result returned was from 2015, which I find a little hard to believe, as I *know* of threads more recent than that. Heck, when I entered the subject for *this* thread, at least one of the suggested similar threads (from 2020) literally has 'OMV Extras' in the title. So maybe something is a bit wonky in the forum search engine department also?

Thanks,

Monte

Nope, didn't do anything (but probably long overdue anyways). Thank goodness for Bitwarden

Not a bad idea... but the characters used type in just fine, even on the CB.

This is the error I'm getting (on my Chromebook).

Is there anything specific in OMV5 that would preclude being able to log into Portainer from certain hosts? Specifically, I can connect from my laptop, but not on my Chromebook.

Late to the party, but maybe something like this might be an option:

Project TinyMiniMicro

Not nearly as low powered, but depending on which model you get, may have some interesting options as far as USB ports (5 or 10 GB/s), internal M.2 or SATA III connectors for SSDs (sometimes both), and room for gobs more RAM.
