Hi there,

I'm Mike and I'm new to the world of OMV. I've had a Synology 107+ voor a few years until it got to old and back then I didn't realy needed it.

These days my kids want to have an easy solution for getting there photos from there phones and to keep them save. The same goes for there homework.

I also would like a place for my 3D models to be stored before sending them to the 3D printer.

I have a Raspberry Pi 4B here with a 16 gb micro SD card running Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64-BIT).

I bought 2 512gb Sandisk Ultra Fit usb sticks that I want to use for storage.
But for some reason I can't get OMV to be installed on the Pi. And it already starts when installing the preinstall of OMV.

I get al kind of errors! errors like below:

dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'publicsuffix' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed

dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'python3-smbus2' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed

dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'dbus-bin' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed

and like

dpkg: error processing package linux-image-6.6.62+rpt-rpi-2712 (--configure):

dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-image-rpi-2712:

linux-image-rpi-2712 depends on linux-image-6.6.62+rpt-rpi-2712 (= 1:6.6.62-1+rpt1); however:

Package linux-image-6.6.62+rpt-rpi-2712 is not configured yet. My children's computer science teacher gives them such tasks. I never cease to be amazed by them. I have computer geniuses growing up who have problems with other subjects. I often have to use writing services, we found https://ca.edubirdie.com/research-paper-writing-services for this. But this does not scare me, everyone has successes in something, failures in something. If my children become programmers, I will only be happy.

I've been reinstalling the Pi OS Lite over and over again. Updating it...reboting...installing OMV...but it always fails.

Can somebody point me in the right direction to solve this?

If you have any problems again, write to me, I'm interested.

hello world,

I am having 0 background in IT but have been trying to step into the home server game and learning on the fly.

So I followed the installation guides and got my whole OMV setup such that I was able to run Nextcloud AIO with Nginx Proxy Manager. I used Duckdns for the domain and port forwarding on my router.

The whole setup worked and I was able to access the internet-exposed AIO. That was only for a day, as my IPv4 changed overnight. I learned about CGNAT and the current situation is this:

- ISP has CGNAT (my IPv4 changes everynight)

- ISP provides PPPoE Internet access credntials

- ISP also provides an IPv6

- Router is Fritzbox 7490, natively supports OpenVPN and Wireguard

- I also have a ProtonVPN paid account

I scoured the internet and came across Tailscale, Headscale, Traefik, Wireguard, etc.

Can someone please help me find a simple and straightforward solution for the CGNAT problem. I dont want update the IPv4 on DuckDNS everynight. I'm also trying to understand how everything works. I'm very interested in creating games. Also sites with browser games. I started with the simplest - I read articles, blogs, look at ready-made projects. I recently read on https://pl.bestcasinos-pl.com/automaty-online/ about automaty online. There's still a lot to learn. I haven't reached the servers yet. All the hard stuff is still waiting for me ahead.

Thanks & Cheers!!

(this is my firstpost on an internet forum so please bear with me )

I just wanted to share one experience about Ubooquity.

I tried to re-deploy Ubookquity, because of a misconfiguration of the network and for some reason it deleted all the books in the folder.

In the log I can see it's deleting the books in the database, but that apparently also means on the drive.

No damage was done in my case, because I just copied all my books to that folder from another drive, but it could have done some damage to some.

Display More

I had this error too. It fixed itself later. But the books that were deleted can no longer be returned. It was a tragedy for me then. Since there were textbooks that I studied from, in the end I had nothing left. I had to ask do my assignment, I found https://ca.edubirdie.com/do-my-assignment for this. So I tell everyone for the future "Keep backup copies." I learned from that mistake, it was enough for me.

Years ago there was this app and it did all I needed it to. I mounted my home library etc, but it seems the app people got wise and all that is either removed or $$. I do not mind paying, but with apps it sucks to pay then to find out it does not do what you need.

So, any recommendation?

I know I can just run a reverse proxy via www and kavita comes up legit, but when opening a www portal, the dimensions and fit for the screen just are not accurate. At least with an app, it is fitted perfectly.

Just use existing libraries. For example, Libby - it allows you to rent books from libraries for free and read them on iPhone and iPad devices. I even looked through my works on law, which were sent to me by the writing service, and used https://ca.edubirdie.com/law-essay-writing-service for this. It was quite convenient. You are still ready to pay money. So you can install any application, it all depends on how much you are willing to pay. There are top convenient applications.

I used it for half a year, I didn’t like it very much.

Quote from mikejg

Hi All,

I've just started a collection of ebooks and use an ipad mini as a reader, to be able to access the books via wireless I have been running Calibre which does have a Web Server mode, on my Mint 14 desktop.
It works pretty well, but I have been trying to get it to work on my OMV, I run 4.38 but have a test OMV 5 virtual that I have been running to see what happens with different software.

It works but, I can only add books using the full GUI on the Mint desktop, then I have to transfer the library folder to the share drive connected to the virtual OMV then run the server daemon from command line.

I was wondering if any one had tried it or something similar for an ebook library. Most likely you need to add books through the GUI on Mint, then move them to OMV. Afterwards, launch the Caliber server from the command line. I remember how I needed to quickly do my homework from uni and I couldn’t figure it out with the server for a long time. I had to find critical analysis on the Internet, I used https://papersowl.com/blog/write-critical-analysis-essay to make things go faster. Only later did I understand what I was doing wrong. This is a fairly common practice and many people do something similar. I don't understand why they made everything so difficult.

It took me a long time to set up the web server. I don’t even remember at what attempt I succeeded and how.

I switched to e-books a long time ago and don’t regret it!

Quote from Skyhi

Sadly, I failed again, not sure what I did wrong...

I created a macvlan network and called it "my-macvlan" . The output of that docker network inspect i as follows:

[ { "Name": "my-macvlan", "Id": "1fd9109c6e48ff4ab5e804c83b827b999bb3a2a67046d27860da890a8152eaa7", "Created": "2023-09-13T17:04:09.362587608-04:00", "Scope": "local", "Driver": "macvlan", "EnableIPv6": false, "IPAM": { "Driver": "default", "Options": {}, "Config": [ { "Subnet": "192.168.0.0/24", "IPRange": "192.168.0.240/29", "Gateway": "192.168.0.1" } ] }, "Internal": false, "Attachable": false, "Ingress": false, "ConfigFrom": { "Network": "" }, "ConfigOnly": false, "Containers": {}, "Options": { "parent": "eth0" }, "Labels": {} }

I then worked on a docker compose with my information found out a few messages above. (wasn't sure if I was supposed to allow pihole to be my dhcp server so i #'ed it out.)

I hit save and tried to start it and I got the following error.

Any idea what I did wrong?

Are you using Docker Compose to manage any other containers on your system? If so, are you having any trouble with those containers? Because I do and Idk how to manage this...

Any feedback will be appreciated.

Hello!

I have several individual USB hard drives ( 6 x WD-Elements 4 + 8 TB ) connected to Openmediavault ( no raid ) and now want to copy data from one hard drive to the other via file browser.

But I always get " 403 Forbidden " displayed.

Where is the error?

Many thanks in advance.

Sincerely R.Lehmeier

You might be getting a "403 Forbidden" error when trying to copy data from one USB hard drive to another via the file browser in OpenMediaVault because you don't have the necessary permissions, the USB hard drives are not properly formatted, or there is a problem with the OpenMediaVault installation.

Try logging in as the root user and trying to copy the files again, and formatting the hard drives using the OpenMediaVault file browser.

Also, try connecting the USB hard drives to a different computer and see if you can copy data between them on that computer.

Thats good that it all work good with jellyfin! Hevc will be ok as most things at home run them fine, if i am away somewhere i can do without those movies until one day i upgrade the computer.

I managed to move the folder with all the fanart in kodi (thumbfolder) so that is one good thing in the right direction.

What i have stumbled and got stuck doing is to get jellyfin running in a container. I can install it fine and all but i cannot access the webui. I have these settings when i pull the image and it seems to work correctly:

Hi, can I give you a few questions in PM about the code? (Probably you have private profile, because I can't DM you). I read above a recommendation to mount the mergerfs pool root directory (/srv/mergerfs) as the Jellyfin media directory. Ok, while this may work, it is not the preferred method because of the performance: mounting the mergerfs pool root directory can lead to performance issues, especially for large libraries.

Ok, yeah, this sounds reasonable.

That is configurable. It may or may not be so. https://wiki.omv-extras.org/do…_split_the_tunnel_traffic

Then more complicated than I've thought.

I think yup, WireGuard is a good solution for accessing your Pi4 remotely. You have just to set up a WireGuard server on your Pi4, configure your router to forward ports 51820 and 51821 to your Pi4, then install the WireGuard client on your laptop and phone, and finally configure the WireGuard client on your laptop and phone to connect to your WireGuard server.

Once you have done this, you will be able to access all of the services on your Pi4 from outside your home by connecting to your WireGuard server.

P.S. When you connect to your WireGuard server, all of your internet traffic will be channeled through the VPN.

I recommend using a strong passphrase for your WireGuard server and keeping your WireGuard server and client software up to date.

I recommend RMAing the drive.

Also, try connecting the drive to a different computer or operating system. If the drive is still not recognized, then it is likely a hardware failure. Or I think you can try using a different USB cable.

Even if the above tips don't work, try connecting the drive directly to the computer's motherboard, bypassing any USB hubs or docks.

Based on my experience, I concluded that to make a TrueNAS CIFS share read/write from within Docker, I usually have to make sure the share permissions allow read/write access, the container runs with the correct user and group privileges, and the share is mounted to a directory within the container with the correct permissions.
