The tutorial is outdated now for current OMV.

You need to install the openmediavault-compose plugin in order to have docker functionality within the OMV web interface.

More info

omv7:docker_in_omv [omv-extras.org]

You can still install portainer using the compose plugin, there are instructions somewhere in this forum.

I'll give your fstab example a try.

My fstab is ancient, so I can't recall what every setting is for off the top of my head, but I am remembering that I probably had adjusted the retrans and timeo values, for issues with my home network or a router upgrade. I'd suggest just adding _netdev and/or nofail to your existing fstab and see if these work for you if mine isn't working well or causes other issues.

You might want to add the nofail and/or the _netdev option.

I access my OMV from mostly KDE neon systems, which use the same Ubuntu 22.04 as Mint for the base OS.

This is one of my fstab entries:

## Backups, on OMV NAS server
omv.local:/Backups  /mnt/Backups  nfs  nofail,x-systemd.automount,_netdev,bg,hard,timeo=50,retrans=5,noatime,nodiratime     0 0

I cannot for the life of me recall where I got most of these parameters from, and some may be redundant as they may be the default options, but I did add the nofail and I think _netdev  specifically for this sort of problem as well as the PCs hanging during boot if the NAS was not running.

From the mount manpage:

Quote

_netdev

The filesystem resides on a device that requires network access (used to prevent the system from attempting to mount these filesystems until the network has been enabled on the system).

nofail

Do not report errors for this device if it does not exist.

cependant : Le paquet openmediavault n'est pas encore configuré.

I can't say why the package was not configured when it was installed/updated, but you can have it try again:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

This will attempt to re-run the configuration scripts for any package that failed or was interrupted. If it still fails, it should give some information that may be helpful for troubleshooting.

If that was successful, run:

sudo apt-get install -f

This will try to install any missing packages that may not have been installed due to the previous failure, if there are any.

There probably aren't any, but it is good to check anyway.

SMB seems to be well known for being very very slow over a VPN connection.

Maybe look at other options, such as webdav, maybe?

NFS?

I use rclone for this. it isn't as hard or scary to set up as it seems, though it does require command-line work to install. The documentation macom linked to is pretty thorough.

The T version of a CPU costs more used on Ebay than the normal version of this CPU. I wouldn't buy a new processor under the 10th generation today! The price ratio to the performance is no longer right. The supply of T-CPUs by ebay is lower than that of the normal version (supply and demand).

I happened to pull the i5 out of a thin client, I had that, intending to sell it. it being a T variant was sort of irrelevant. Looking at the pricing differences, I decided to sell the i3 instead. I guess my very unclear point was to look at all the options, especially if looking at an older i3, as the OP had listed. Which of course will be confusing as heck. More cores might be had for minimal increase in cost.

Quote from Razan

I think I will choose maybe an Intel I3 9th... to be confirmed.

I started with an i3 8th gen 8100 on my build, but went to an i5-8400T (the 35 watt version) for 2 more cores. It definitely performs a little more smoothly for my use cases - Nextcloud, Immich, Jellyfin, KVM, and a few other Docker containers on top of general storage. The difference in cost between the 65 watt i3 and the 35w i5-8400T was about 12 dollars iirc. (faster versions and non-T variants were a fair bit more $$) It might be worth checking out the cost differences for more cores.

The output seems to indicate that it has pulled the image successfully, so maybe you need to restart the container(s), probably from the AIO admin panel if that is accessible. Perhaps restarting the AIO main container from OMV will do this on its own?

Oops, I did a typo. It should be a ":" instead of an "=" here, just like in a compose file.

Edited for reference.

Quote from sonnyhill

As instructed, I ran:

Code

sudo docker exec -it nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer docker pull nextcloud%2Faio-redis%3Alatest

with the resulting response:

invalid reference format: repository name must be lowercase

The command presented has escape code characters instead of slashes and equal signs. Replace "%2F" with a "/" and "%3A" with ":"

Hopefully any error will show why it could not pull the image.

You might need to set recursive permissions. I just this week had to do this to fix a permissions issue on an SMB share.

Storage >> Shared Folders >> Select the desired directory >>Access Control List (4th button from the left).

I normally use NFS, but I had to set up Samba shares for accessing directories from a Windows machine, and could not access the existing sub-folders already in the share. This fixed it for me.

How is it possible that the package is not installed? Now I'm really lost...

Have you been hacked and have a process impersonating another non-existent process? I can't find an explanation.

It could be a different package:

$ apt search uvicorn
Sorting... Done
Full Text Search... Done
python-uvicorn-doc/oldstable 0.13.3-1 all
ASGI server implementation, using uvloop and httptools (Documentation)

python3-socketio/oldstable 5.0.3-2 all
python3 implementation of the Socket.IO realtime client and server

python3-uvicorn/oldstable 0.13.3-1 all
ASGI server implementation, using uvloop and httptools (Python3 version)

uvicorn/oldstable 0.13.3-1 all
ASGI server implementation, using uvloop and httptools

So check if the python3 version is installed

apt policy python3-uvicorn

And apt-cache depends python3-uvicorn, etc.

Linuxserver recently changed how things are updated with their Nextcloud image. The updater tool has been removed.

One thing I am still trying to figure out is, is there a way to create and place a network link on my Linux desktop (or actually in the network folder)? Something that I could just click on to access my nas remotely once I connect to wireguard?

Steps can vary, depending on your specific desktop environment, or your preferred file browser.

On KDE, it asks for my password, and offers to save to its wallet. I would think Nemo or Nautilus would do the same, but I am not very familiar with those, myself.

You could also drag-and-drop to create a shortcut , then edit it's properties as appropriate by inserting your user/pass like so:

smb://user_name:password@server_name/directory_name/and_stuff

But this is much less secure.

I can't create a shortcut in Dolphin's special Network folder itself, but I just drag the entries I want to its sidebar, my desktop, or a panel.

This means a capacity of 12 TB for 4x3TB drives. If a drive breaks, all data is gone.

Sure, but my own use case, that is not important to me at all, currently. The drives are all over 10 years old, and I am basically waiting for them to die. Which hasn't happened yet.

Quote from mischka

Wouldn't it be more sensible to use mergefs instead of Raid 0?

That is the sort of opinion and comment I am seeking

Quote from ryecoaaron

I've used it even longer and still don't run it at home

Could you briefly describe what you prefer for multi-drive setups for home use? Not necessarily related to Rpi usage.

I have my 4 old 3Tb drives using BTRFS with raid0 (which is what OMV set up). A normal raid setup seemed too cumbersome for my needs, which are more space-related than recovery or redundancy. I back up the important things, and keep snapshots of the file systems just because I can, and use them on my Linux PCs and laptops.

When these drives get replaced, I am looking at different options for my docker containers and shared filesystems.

Might that take away some of the airflow going to the back half of the case, or increase the temp of the PSU air?

It will be interesting to see your results.

I considered this option myself, in order to suck more heat away from my 4 ancient HDDs, which is what started me on my NAS journey to begin with.

I am too impatient to wait:(

I sure do hope that they have more than enough for the demand. I may still pre-order, but at this point, it seems likely I will be waiting until January to receive one

☹️ that's way out of my skillset. Think I should better but another usb dongle that is known to be compatible with Linux.

Thanks everyone, do appreciate you jumping on to help.

To be honest, it is actually simpler than it looks and sounds, but with a bit of a discovery and learning curve may seem daunting and not worth the hair-pulling. Mainly a few unwritten steps that the 'uninitiated' won't know right off the bat.

It is still a bit difficult to find a good, working USB wifi dongle that works on Linux ootb. Takes some research, and the support can vary.

I have a USB dongle in my kit that used to work brilliantly and without extra work, but testing it on OMV and my other Linux systems right now, it seems that it doesn't like newer kernels, at least not without compiling something.

if you have room, and a slot, something like this might be useful, though not that cheap. Anything with an Intel chip should Just Work^tm

Should be faster than the USB dongle, I think, too.
