Hi !

I just made a NAS with OMV 6. There are 2 SSD connected to the NAS.

I was wondering how to correctly set-up the power management for the disks.

Everything I find on the internet is about HDD. Does the advanded power management works the same for SSD ?

Thanks !

If you go for Armbian, you should use the version that is based on Bullseye (Debian). You will get OMV6 when you install it.

The previous version is OMV5 which goes with Buster, but OMV5 will be end of life by end of June.

I do not have an HC4, but an HC2. I would go with Armbian.

Focal is Ubuntu. OMV will not run on Ubuntu. In any case OMV will not run with a Desktop Environment. So do not install it.

Thanks !

So I guess steps are :

-Remove petitboot

-Download and flash lastest armbian Bullseye on SD card

-plug it in SBC, boot and then insta omv 6 packages

Is that good ?

Hi !
I just get an Odroid HC4, and I am planning to use it as a NAS with OMV. But because i am pretty new with SBC, I will appreciate having help from anyone who want to help !

So I saw that there are several options before installing OMV :

-Install Debian, using built-in Petitboot.

-Install Armbian (and delete Petitboot before).

Is one of theses options better than the other ?

And in the case it is better to install Armbian, is there one version better than the others ? (HC4 page on armbian.com show several versions : Bullseye, Buster, Focal..)

Thanks !

I think I will go for the Odroid HC4 then. And if I want to do more stuff in the future, like server media player , i will probably do it on a adapted SBC or an old computer and it could have acces to the HC4 nas drives.

Any reason for me to not go for this SBC ?

Is the raspberry pi 4 8gb worth with OMV 6

Hello everyone,

I want to upgrade my raspberry pi 3b+ to a new 4b, because of the extra ram, 1Gb is not good enough and to support the new 64bit install of OMV.

I was wondering if an OMV with docker and some containers like plex, nextcloud, transmission, my website, etc are worth to get the 8Gb version instead of the 4Gb, or if 4 will suffice?

Thank you,

Oh nice really cool ! I did not know about all these cards

But can I install OVM and Dockerwith some containers on it , regarless of the card ? Because I will probably install some apps like Plex, Radarr, Sonarr etc.. So do these kinds of apps are like "generic" and can run on pretty much all cards, or do they need to be developped specifically for a card ?

I will take a look at all these models, looking for one with 2 SATA (for 2 data disks), and one SATA (or nvme) for system disk

I'll go against the grain here... I know a lot of folks use Pi's, etc. for a NAS.. but I'm not a fan. I think SBC's have their place (I use one for a backup server) but for every day home use, I prefer 64bit.

Tell me if i am wrong, but new rapsberry pi 4 are 64bits, aren't they ?

You should get yourself a self powered box to hold the 2 drives.

Do you have any model to recommand ?

Can the RP4 supply the two 2TO SSD which will be plugged in USB3.0 ports ?

Or do I need to supply them separately ?

And more generally, do you think it is relevant to use the rp4 to build a NAS ?

RAID0 is stripped.

You surely mean RAID1 which is mirrored.

But RAID via USB is not permitted on OMV.

What you can do is run a rsync job from one disk to the other.

There's some instructions on the forum guide section.

yes I meant RAID1, sorry !

Okay I will take a look at rsync

To be fair, I firslty thought that the RAID1 was needed (or at least, could be used) to do this automatic backups.

But I read some threads on this forum and pretty much everone is according to say that, firslty RAID1 isn't event makable with ths disks connected via USB, and secondly that RAID1 was not necesseraly the good way to have data protection.

So that's why I am lookingfor a way to do automatic backups of my disk over the other one.

Hello !

I am currently looking for a way to build a NAS with OVM on a rapsberry pi 4.

The NAS would have 2 disks (one disk for storage, the other one as backup of the first one)

It looks pretty simple to do, but I just want to know if there is any way to do automatic backups of the first disk on the second one.

If any of you have some advices for me, it would be a pleasure !
