500GB (System Drive) is overly large unless you intend to use most of it for user data, which must be the case because you don't mention any other drives.

Yeah, you're absolutely right and I'm sorry

I know 500GB is far too big but I don't like the idea of running the OS on a USB stick and small SSds aren't noteworthy cheaper.

I'm thinking of putting my containers on that drive if there is no important reason to don't do so.

My data drives (1x WD 8TB, 1x Seagate IronWolf 8TB) are added from the old machine as they aren't that old yet.

Just to give you some feedback - I finally built my new system:

AMD Ryzen 5 5600G

ASRock B550M Pro4

2x Crucial DIMM 8GB, DDR4-3200

Western Digital WD Blue SN570 NVMe SSD 500GB (System Drive)

be quiet! Pure Power 11 400W ATX 2.4

AeroCool CS-102

1x WD Red 8TB, 1x Seagate IronWolf 8TB

Nothing too fancy and the case is quite ugly (but since the machine is located in the utility room I really don't care).

I'm pretty happy with it so far, now it's time to set it up properly

Any reason for M.2 over nvme?

Not from my side as this configuaration was done by said magazine (and I didn't pay that much attention actually)...

Maybe worth mentioning that this configuration was done for 2022 (meaning at the end of 2021)...

Hmmm, but I guess you're right and I should probably wait for this year's proposal... Usually this is published about end of october...

You don't need a unit with that much capacity for the system. A 16 or 32GB USB stick is enough and you can use that 500GB SSD for docker.

Yeah, I know. But imho a reliable stick costs almost as much as such a SSD nowadays (~33€ in Germany).
Moreover my plan is to configure my system to use this drive for docker as well.

175usd: HDPLEX 500W GaN Passive AIO ATX Power Supply

145usd: HDPLEX 250W GaN Passive AIO ATX Power Supply

The 250 watt might power 8 HDDs and everything else and its physical size opens up options.

Nope, that's a high wattage CPU (65w TDP).

Wrong thread maybe? If not I don't get your point...

Hello fellow OMV users,

My present OMV server hardware is about 10 years old and needs about 45W so I thought I'd replace it with something more energy efficient.

This setup is more or less based on the so called "optimal pc" by the German computer magazine c't (link) where they say it can be run on about 14W iddle (I don't need a GPU but would of course add up my 2x8TBB data drives).

So what do you think - would this configuration be a reasonable choice?

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, 6C/12T, 3.90-4.40GHz, boxed

MB: ASUS TUF Gaming B550-Plus

RAM: 2x Crucial DIMM 8GB, DDR4-3200, CL22-22-22

System drive: Samsung SSD 980 500GB, M.2

PSU: be quiet! Pure Power 11 400W ATX 2.4

Case: Fractal Design Core 2300

I know it is probably rather owerpowered for my needs (family NAS with some docker containers like paperless-ngx, Home Assistant, PiHole, SyncThing, Nextcloud etc.) but I like the idea of having a little reserve just in case...

Thank you in advance

Did you try the incognito mode?
(Mainly the same as clearing the cache)

Plugin openmediavault-sharerootfs

Man, that was easy
Thanks a lot - exactly what I was wishing

Is there a way I can check my system drive (preferably in the dashboard) the same way I can see my data drives?

I think something like this was available in OMV5 but I'm not too sure...

Thank you all who figured out what to do to solve the problem

I manually installed the apparmor package and managed to start docker/portainer again (and btw took the chance to do the long postponed update from OMV5 to OMV6 ).

Quote from therealbeda

Thank you!!!! Wasted hours cause of that....

Me too...

But I finally managed to solve it with the help of the mentioned thread by manually installing apparmor...

I discovered this thread yesterday when a friend asked me for help because he exactly had the same problem.

This is why the network interface override on the minidlna settings tab exists. Just put your network interface name that you want minidlna to listen on in that field, save, and apply.

Where exactly can I find these settings?

I know it's an old thread but I eventually remembered it

Sometime ago I discovered this on dockerhub:

https://hub.docker.com/r/modenaf360/youtube-dl-nas

and it's perfect for my needs.

Maybe this helps someone.

Don't ask me why but I discovered this thread just a few days ago 🙄

My OMV is running under Proxmox so it already is a virtualization (not a solution I'm too satisfied with but too much trouble reinstalling OMV atm).

With this setup: I there a chance I can use KVM in my OMV (probably not, right)?

Is it possible to run a test OMV with KVM in Virtualbox or KVM?

I do like the idea of having OMV with KVM but would like to try it first on a test system.

OMV 6 ist Alpha, nicht einmal Beta.

Für ein produktives System, dann auch noch in einer Firma, wo man auf die Funktionen angewiesen ist, ist das ein No-Go.

What I said.
But I think he is Portuguese and doesn't speak German

Well, difficult to give you advice without having more details on what you ordered and what you need it for.

They definitely should if they are the pro's, you wanted a machine for using it without ado and it was their idea to use OMV6 which is as far as I know in alpha status.

On the other hand installing a basic system+services (for my needs [a family NAS] it doesn't take longer then 20-30min) is propably a lot(!) fasterthen going back and argueing with them. I furthermore have the impression that you're going to be responsible for administrating the machine so you should get familiar with OMV anyway. There are a million helpful people and tutorials out there telling you how to set up a running system.

So my advice here: Go for yourself, learn some new things but don't forget to ask them for a reasonable discount for the trouble they caused

Alright, I did some testing - what I did:

I created two users Alpha and Bravo and two samba shares Alpha and Bravo and gave read/write permissions on their according share.

/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-2d24bf52-a7ab-45e0-9311-7f95e9fb3aed/Alpha
/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-2d24bf52-a7ab-45e0-9311-7f95e9fb3aed/Bravo

List users:

cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd

(found on https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-list-users-in-linux/)

A list of a lot of users will appear and I could access the samba shares using Manjaro's file manager (using the according credentials).

Afterwards I deleted the shares (removing their samba share first, then the shares themselves as B3rnd said) and the users (-> no more users and shares were found in terminal as described before).

I rebooted OMV (you never know...) and recreated everything (users and shares) and neither Alpha nor Bravo have now the permissions they had before (see the screenshot).

Everything was done in OMV's GUI, the terminal was only used to check things.

I don't know if I recreated your setting correctly - if not let me know.

As mentioned before I was curious myself so I wanted to try it out.

Edit:

Sorry, I forgot to watch your video (YT is blocked at work) but now I did. I don't understand Portuguese (I guess) but I noticed you didn't delete the shares (don't know if this is important). Moreover you are obviously using OMV6. Since this is still alpha I don't know if this is the problem. If I have time I will try to test it on a OMV6 machine.

The wiki of ubuntu is always a good source for such questions. Have a look here

https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/mount/

https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/fstab/

It's in German and I think that you understand German.

You have to work from top to bottom in the menu when setting up, so first the user, then groups, then shared folders, then the (samba) share itself. If you want to resolve something, you have to work from the bottom up. You cannot delete a user if it is still referenced by shared folders or even a (Samba) share.

Both are a pretty good advice!

But you made me curious - I will see if I can reproduce your behavior/problems in my test system.

I don't have the time to test it now but if the GUI doesn't help you I think this should help:

https://de.godaddy.com/help/ei…x-nutzer-hinzufugen-19158

And if you delete your shared folder using ssh I'm, pretty sure it is gone for always

Edit: I usually have a 2nd OMV installed in VirtualBox to play around and test things before installing it on my "real" OMV.

This is my solution which is already running for over a couple of months and working fine for me.

My docker compose:

---
version: "2.1"
services:
syncthing:
image: syncthing/syncthing
container_name: syncthing_xyz
hostname: OMV
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=100
- TZ=Europe/Berlin
volumes:
- /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-7196f7ef-874f-4348-9ee1-2cd0398c277e/Daten/AppData/syncthing_xyz:/config
- /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-7196f7ef-874f-4348-9ee1-2cd0398c277e/Daten/XYZ/00_OMV_Xub_Win_Sync:/data_XYZ
ports:
- 8384:8384
- 22000:22000
#      - 21027:21027/udp
restart: unless-stopped

My SyncThing settings are visible in the screen shot.

What caused me a lot of headache was setting up ST for another user (problems with permission when using the same user).

I solved it with deploying another container with adapted settings. Please let me know if you need help here.
