Sorry for reviving this old thread, but I finally found the solution after burying the project for 2 years.

To get it working, I had to add an IP rule in my routers' admin panel. The router (Vodafone) has a DHCP page where all connected devices are listed. After creating a new reserved rule adding my device MAC address and desired static IP, it worked like a charm. I also chose an IP address inside the routers address range. (193.168.0.xxx) The router actually only allowed addresses inside that range.

I see. Can someone post the link here? Or is it a secret / private server for invited guests only?

Hello again.

Most OSS Projects that I know of have some kind of chatroom, and a link on their homepage. But for OMV, I found nothing of that sort except this old thread from 2017 that only has outdated information. There is mention of a link to an IRC room, but it's gone now. So, is there a chatroom somewhere? And if not, are there specific reasons?

Update:

I realised that the "Smart CPU fan" option in BIOS was disabled. The fans are much quieter now.

However, I'm still interested in getting pwmconfig and fancontrol to work in the future, so if someone knows what's up, I'll gladly listen.

Greetings.

I am currently setting up my OMV 6.9.16-1 installation on some old NAS hardware. I want to set up fancontrol since my fans are constantly spinning. This guide (and also the fancontrol manpage) says that I need to get pwmconfig. However, apt tells me: "Error:  Unable to locate package pwmconfig".

I have my system fully upgraded, and activated community-maintained updates. But still no luck. Is this package really not available in our repos? Actually, a related question: Where can I find and browse the repo directories?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I have used OMV-firstaid multiple times to reset to DHCP, then tried again. I now also tried setting the IP directly via OMV-firstaid. The address set is successful, and the new IP is displayed at login in the shell. But the web interface remains unreachable unless I reset to DHCP.

I get the feeling that this really is a problem with my router. I'll try to get access to it, then will post updates.

Here's a screenshot of my setup, just in case. This time, I picked an address that has a smaller number (.131) than the one I automatically got from DHCP (.132), just to be sure it's inside the range.

Unfortunately, I still can't access my router to check if there are some weird settings.

Why are you trying to set it outside the range of what the DHCP server likely provides?

I don't know. Why does the Setup Guide recommend it? I suspect the reason is to prevent accidential address collisions.

You also need to set some value in the DNS field, usually the same as the gateway or add something like 1.0.0.1 separated with a comma

I did put a public DNS server in the "DNS servers" field under Advanced Options (5.9.164.112). I also just tried again with my Gateway address as DNS server, but still no luck.

Hey guys.

tl;dr: Whenever I set a static IP, I cannot reach the web interface anymore.

Details:
I just installed OMV, connected it to my home LAN and accessed it via the web interface. As advised in the docs, I decided to set a static IP address. Since DHCP had given me 192.168.0.132 and the guide says to pick an address outside of the routers DHCP range, I chose:

IP 10.0.0.2

Subnet 255.255.255.0

Gateway 193.168.0.1

After applying the changes, I was not able to reach the web interface (neither the new nor the old IP). So I plugged in keyboard+monitor and used omv-firstaid to reset the connection. I then tried again with IP 193.168.255.222 , but still no luck.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I never managed to get a grip on this whole ipconfig stuff, so even the most simple and obvious solutions would be appreciated.

[I currently cannot access the routers admin interface because my flatmate has the password and is asleep right now. Hopefully that can be amended tomorrow.]
