If docker is not what you want to use for rdp you can select your environment with the command (as root)

Code

tasksel

next you can :

Code

apt install xrdp tigervnc-standalone-server

then you can connect from windows rdp (select xvnc not xorg)

Thanks, I preferred this method because the danielguerra/ubuntu-xrdp image was also painfully slow for me, I'm not experienced enough to change the password in that docker without a step-by-step guide and would have taken more work to use as a file manager because the media shares aren't mounted.

I did struggle to get it working; got some "VNC error - problem connecting - some problem" errors initially in the connection log. and had to

mkhomedir_helper username

to create the homedir where xrdp writes session settings.I also installed xorgxrdp.

Sorry for the late reply. I used the static IP address on an older (non-VM) OMV machine which worked fine. Maybe I followed the guide you mentioned. The resasoning was that setting a static IP address below 100 frees up the DHCP assigned range above 100 and I could choose a memorable fixed IP address for the server(s).

I just found out that the main reason for the OMV WebGUI being available for a couple of seconds during boot but then disappearing is/was the transmission/openVPN docker booting at the end of the startup process.
So figuring out how to exclude all non-transmission data from the OpenVPN is my next step

Disabling the static IPv4 option in the Interface page of the OMV Network configuration and relying on the DHCP of the router and the router option to "Always assign this network device the same IPv4 address" actually did the trick.

Many thanks!

When I reboot OMV ín the virtual machine, there is a very short (few sec) timeframe during the reboot process in which OMV actually ís reachable from outside the network. After these few seconds, ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT is back.
Which makes me think there's a piece of OMV configuration which loads during boot which makes OMV services (& webgui) unreachable from an outside network.

This article suggests that it's not the Windows firewall I should adapt, as I'm using Bridge mode:

• The firewall software on your host computer isn’t blocking the connections. (This only applies to NAT mode with port forwarding – the host computer’s firewall doesn’t interfere in bridged networking mode.)

and indeed, if I switch off the Windows firewall, I still can't access the OMV WebGUI from outside the network.

I'm guessing, the OMV firewall won't block anything by default?

I have the feeling I'm missing something obvious.

I'm running OMV4 in virtualbox on a windows machine. The virtualbox network uses a bridged adapter, the OMV machine always receives the same IP address 192.168.0.115 from the router.
I've put the WebGUI on port 6003 in general settings. And entered these details for IPv4 Interface: Method:static, Address:192.168.0.115, Netmask:255.255.255.0, default gateway 192.168.0.2(=router) and DNS 8.8.8.8

On this windows machine, I can access the OMV WebGUI on 192.168.0.115:6003.

I've enabled Port Forwarding on the router, directing TCP on port 6003 to 192.168.0.115 on port 6003.
However, I'm unable to reach the webgui (or any other OMV service) through the <public IP address>:6003

What extra steps should I take to make services running on OMV in a virtualbox reachable from outside the network?

Quote from hootablob

I renamed /opt/plexpy to /opt/Tautulli and ran through the daemon setup again: https://github.com/Tautulli/Ta…as-a-daemon#linux-systemd

There are two commands which don't work for me on OMV v2.2.14 (Stone burner)

# 4. Enable boot-time autostart with the following commands:
# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl enable tautulli.service

-bash: systemctl: command not found

Can I accomplish the same without systemctl or how would I make make systemctl work?

I just received PMS 1.3.4 on OMV 2.2.13.
Did I misunderstand the previous replies? I was under the impression that I would have to use OMV 3 to get PMS updates.
Who should I thank for this?

In the future, on amd64, is it possible to use the .deb package via the [please install manually]
https://plex.tv/downloads/late…stro=ubuntu&X-Plex-Token=<xxxtokenxxx> link provided in plex.tv or should I only use the update package in the Update manager in OMV?

There's a similar issue in the current Chrome OS Beta version 56: there's no way to select a language and no option to continue without a language selection.

Can't the language selection field be removed from the login screen?

I was wrong. Shell In A Box showed a result (while logging me out in the background)
This is the Library\..\Plex media server\Media division:

Plex issue...

try disabling and re-enabling the plex plugin using the "enable" toggle in the general settings tab in the OMV GUI
re-enabling can take a lot of time

I have no idea how large my Library\..\Plex media server\Media is because I can't get a result from du -hs before the Shell In A Box timeout ..
I'm guessing photos and series episodes take up more space than movies because each file has its own thumbnail.

Quote from gderf

Press enable then go get a meal. It took quite a bit of time here to complete.

For years I stayed away from the Plex plugin enable/disable button beacause it just appeared to fail, maybe an informative description next to this button "do not despair, enabling can take hours" would be useful?

well, it appeared to work, but then I had the "will not play" issue mentioned here
Plex issue...

Disabling the plugin, re-enabling the plugin and waiting ~3hours (the time it takes to enable) solved it

I always thought the re-enabling just failed, but after the remark of @gderf to "get a meal" after clicking enable, I finally waited long enough.
During this ~3hours enabling, OMV stutters a bit and the user is is thrown out of the OMV GUI after that timeout, so this process is not very user friendly.

For years I stayed away from the Plex plugin enable/disable button, maybe an informative description next to this button "do not despair, enabling can take hours" would be useful?

Can I install this one?
