What looks difficult to you? I guess I'm not understanding what is difficult, as Navidrome literally takes 10sec to install
From the start where it says "Create a docker-compose.yml file with the following content".
I have no idea what that even means...
Display More1 and 2 are easily handled with docker apps, you would then want to get you a cheap (or free) domain and reverse proxy those services through said domain. There are multiple threads on this on the forum. A domain, can be either super cheap (mine runs me about $12/yr) or you can get a free one at duckdns... the end result will be the same.
1. Navidrome... Very easy to set up
2. Nextcloud. You'll have to set up external storage for files that aren't in the nextcloud database, but that shouldn't be a problem. Multiple apps are available for it (NC Office, Photo apps, etc.) that should handle all this.
(A thread dedicated to setting up Nextcloud through duckdns with swag.. Post #4 would be the "guide")
Once you have NC working, routing Navidrome through it is a snap.

3. I'm not a Windows user, but I don't really backup my laptops. ALL of our data (music, photos, etc.) are on the server.. so.. I mean I could lose this machine right now.. and other than the inconvenience of replacing it and then reinstalling and setting up my Linux OS of choice.. I wouldn't lose a thing.
4. I hate RAID... it just seems to cause more problems than it's worth.
I have a 4 data drive system (OS is on a flash drive)... Basically Disks 1-4. All are the same size. I have simple Rsync jobs that back up Disk 1 to Disk 3, and Disk 2 to Disk 4... they run once a day, and I don't worry about it.
Thanks for the response. At first, this looks really easy, but I'm thinking that this actually looks above my ability. I was hoping for an easy way to do this, and not have to deal with code. Just looking at the navidrome link makes my head hurt!
Surely there is an easy system for me to add my music onto a computer and be able to access it via an app on my phone?
I finally gave up trying to install OMV on a dell server and thin client. I just bought an old dell optiplex 990, and install worked first time. Wish I had done this months ago!
Next step is working out what I want to do.
I would like to do the following;
* Have all my music on the system and be available to stream to an iPhone, laptop, or speaker (around the house or anywhere in the world)
* Have photos, documents, files saved on the system, and available anywhere around the world (also on iphone or laptops)
* Be able to backup home computers/laptops regularly
* Backup all the files mentioned above in case of drive failure
Can someone much more knowledgeable than me please tell me how this should be setup? Everything with raid 5, and then something else to backup to separate drives? If I use separate drives for all the backups, should that be connected to a separate computer?
Please advise. Be specific as I am pretty new to all this and need guidance.

Hi all,
Is it possible to install OMV on a Dell Wyse 3040?
Only has a small 8gb emcc storage, and 2gb ram.
Anyone done it?
Noting that you have 6 hard drives installed:
If you're trying to boot from a drive connected to an HBA (not the motherboard), in most cases, it won't work.
You might try installing OMV to a USB thumbdrive (at least 8GB), and setting your BIOS boot order to USB first.
I did install from the USB first, in order to install onto the hard drive.
All 6 drives are connected in the hot swap bays. Why would this not work?
Pretty sure I did that right. Ill have to get back out there and take photos of the setup in BIOS
Thanks for the reply.
I am trying to setup OMV on a dell Poweredge T320. I have all SATA drives and seem to be having issues getting it to run.
Managed to install on the drive and do the required updates, but when I restart the computer, it can't find anything to boot from. Keeps trying to boot from C:
Am I missing something?
Hi all,
I am wanting to do the following, and would like to know if the experts here can tell me if this is all possible with the openmediavault system;
* Have all my MP3's available to be played anywhere around the world, via an app on iphone, computers or other devices, all served from home?
* Backup windows and Mac computers regularly to the server
* Have a place for household members to save their files, and possibly have password protection on those folders
* Have all the above backed up just to make sure nothing gets lost
I have an old Dell PowerEdge T320 which has 6 hard drives installed (5 x 500gb, 1 x 2tb). Considering getting another smaller drive for the openmediavault OS install. I guess I need to know if all the above is possible (and easy enough to do), and can I do all of it with the equipment listed above. I think best thing would be to have a smaller drive for the OS, then use some of the other drives for media, files etc, and the other drives for the backups? In a RAID? Thoughts on type of RAID?
Thanks in advance.
Peter
