    It is not possible to disable the software update notifications in OMV7. This was done on purpose.

    Same question - same answer:

    Ist es Wirklich SOOO Schwer zu Beschreiben WAS Gemacht werden Muss ? Ihr Knallt mir hier Links vor die Nase aus Faulheit damit ihr weniger Arbeit habt oder was ? Ausserdem Antwortet ihr in Englisch, sehe ich so aus als wenn ich Englisch kann ???

    Sorry, aber eine Hilfe seid Ihr wirklich nicht Gegenüber Neulingen in der Sache was mehr als Unfreundlich und Daneben ist.

    Also, bei deinem Auftreten kannst du froh sein, dass überhaupt jemand der Freiwilligen, die das hier in ihrer Freizeit tun, versucht hat zu helfen. Einen Anspruch auf Hilfe hast du nicht.


    Du nutzt ein Produkt, für das du nichts bezahlen musst, und pöbelst Leute an, die dir trotz deines aggressiven und unhöflichen Tons helfen wollen – in einer Art und Weise als wären sie deine Leibsklaven.


    In einem internationalen, englischsprachigen Forum aggressiv deutsche Antworten von hilfsbereiten, offensichtlich Nicht-Deutschsprachigen einfordern, ist dann das i-Tüpfelchen.


    Wer freundlich fragt, dem wird hier in der Regel sehr gut, gründlich und nett geholfen. Und sogar unhöflichen, aggressiven Egoisten tritt man so langmütig gegenüber, dass es beeindruckend ist.


    Deine Fragen wurden übrigens auch alle beantwortet.

    One email a day (twice per week in my case) is not bad at all, it's more the fact that I need to scroll a fair bit before knowing if the diff script went ok, instead of having a 'Diff script successful' in the email title or something like this.

    Maybe another option: I have been using this for some time now: https://github.com/auanasgheps/snapraid-aio-script


    It's designed to work very well with OMV's Snapraid plugin and it emails the relevant info in a compact way and has the info you want in the email subject. IMHO it's a very good supplement to the Snapraid plugin.

    If you use DHCP, DHCP sets a DNS server for you. If you use a static IP, you need to do that yourself. Just set a DNS server in that field. Can be a public DNS server like 9.9.9.9 or your router or your pi-hole, if that‘s configured correctly.

    I managed to get overleaf running using the openmediavault-compose plugin instead of the overleaf toolkit and this docker-compose file:

    For other languages than English you can uncomment the OVERLEAF_SITE_LANGUAGE line and set to your desired language (see here: https://github.com/overleaf/overleaf/wiki/i18n-Languages)


    After pulling and starting you can use http://<your-omv-ip>:8002/launchpad to set up a new overleaf admin account and you are good to go. The overleaf admin panel always shows me an error regarding the editor status but everything seems to work fine.


    Unfortunately there apparently is no Zotero support for the community edition...

    I just experienced the same problem. See my comment on Github. I found a workaround for now though: Type the passphrase in double quotes: "this passphrase gets accepted". The double quotes won't be part of the passphrase.


    meyergru: Are you sure this gets logged? I also don't want my passwords to be safed in logs and tried to delete them but I couldn't find any logfile nor anything in journalctl that would contain this...

    Sorry for this question, but just to rule that out: Is the script file marked as executable? It might not run if not, but it could still be run from the terminal if you use e.g. bash script.sh or sh script.sh


    You will probably know this but just in case: If it's not executable you can change that with chmod +x script.sh. If you use the omv-scripts plugin, it does that automatically.

    Ok, so if doing daily snapshots would be a better interval what settings do I need to use for a 1am daily snapshot? The plugin is not clear and I can't find any info or guide beyond "set to what you want" which I'd love to do if I knew how.

    Please read the link I gave you: https://teejeetech.com/timeshift/ The plugin is very clear. The program is just not designed the way you want to use it.

    Unlike similar tools that are scheduled to take backups at a fixed time of the day, Timeshift is designed to run once every hour and take snapshots only when a snapshot is due. This is more suitable for desktop users who keep their laptops and desktops switched on for few hours daily. Scheduling snapshots at a fixed time on such users will result in missed backups since the system may not be running when the snapshot is scheduled to run. By running once every hour and creating snapshots when due, Timeshift ensures that backups are not missed.

    You can probably make a snapshot manually at 1 am and then set it to daily. I am not sure if this works though...

    So what's the point of doing hourly backups if the system rarely changes? I was following a youtube OMV guide to do weekly snapshots.

    The point of making snapshots is to be able to restore a previous state when you or something else messes up your system. Having more restore points is obviously better for this. Since only the difference from the previous snapshot needs new space, this doesn't take insane amounts of disk space or computing power and is done almost instantly - more so if the system rarely changes. What's the point in purposely not doing this?


    The plug-in can easily be configured to only save daily, weekly or monthly snapshots though if that's what you want.

    It seems that the error is caused by leaving the Array field empty, however I do not get any option in the Array dropdown.

    Did you create an array first? The new version of the plug-in supports several arrays. Old guides might not mention this. Just create one in the arrays tab and you should be good to go.

    Thanks, but those websites are not written like the timeshift plugin. The websites use star values (*) and the plugin does not. I get "30 1 * * 0" but there's no way to enter that into the plugin.


    It would be so much easier if the plugin was written in terms a regular user can understand, like days of the week, AM/PM, weekly, etc including a worded readout to confirm the entered values were the desired ones. I'm still lost and have no idea what to do. I don't understand why some simple tasks in OMV are so impossible to figure out for a regular user and not a systems engineer.


    If I want it to run every Sunday at 1am or every 3 days at 1am, what numbers do I need to enter for each scenario? Please, please, please can someone tell me the values to input?

    You may want to look up what Timeshift is and how it works: https://teejeetech.com/timeshift/


    It's a snapshot tool, not a backup tool. What you are asking for is not how the program is designed, so don't blame the plug-in. Imho the plug-in is great and does exactly what it's supposed to do. Also be aware that people develop OMV and the plug-ins in their free time.


    Timeshift is supposed to take snapshots in regular intervals, usually hourly. You can define how many hourly, weekly, daily, monthly snapshots you want to keep. That's how it's supposed to work. Very simple. There is no point in taking a snapshot once a week at a defined time. If you only want to keep weekly snapshots you can set that up. I don't see the point though... The snapshots are incremental so hourly snapshots don't take up much more space than weekly snapshots.

    The regression will be fixed in the next version, see https://github.com/openmediava…cc99b5c04ec0e11d6a87d91a2


    This will break the behaviour of OMV, so i decided that this line will be removed from /etc/apt/apt.conf.

    I also read about a discussion on Debian that this setting should be deprecated. You can easily achive the same with repo pinning.


    I just did the update from 7.4.1-2 to 7.4.1-3 and /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99openmediavault-default-release is still there. It wasn't removed.


    Does this mean it only applies to versions below 7.4.1? https://github.com/openmediava…nmediavault.postinst#L538

    That was fast! It's probably the cleanest solution this way. Thank you for all your efforts!

    Or to specifically only address the issue from this topic maybe even only add the setting if APT::Default-Release "bookworm" or APT::Default-Release "stable" have been set on the system?


    I'm not a dev: Getting rid of the setting completely is probably more difficult? (Also someone might use this on purpose...)

    Thanks for your investigation.


    The issue will be fixed in next version, see https://github.com/openmediava…42c957a7f0efae4bbee7931ed.

    Just to be sure: Is this the intended behavior? This now pins all releases from a "bookworm" repository with the highest priority:

    Code
    $ LANG=C apt-cache policy onedrive 
    onedrive:
      Installed: (none)
      Candidate: 2.4.23-1
      Version table:
         2.4.25-1+deb12u1 500
            500 http://packages.openmediavault.org/public sandworm/main amd64 Packages
            500 https://openmediavault.github.io/packages sandworm/main amd64 Packages
         2.4.23-1 990
            990 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm/main amd64 Packages

    The docker repository contains bookworm as well:

    Code
    $ LANG=C apt-cache policy | grep -i "docker"
     990 https://download.docker.com/linux/debian bookworm/stable amd64 Packages
         release o=Docker,a=bookworm,l=Docker CE,c=stable,b=amd64
         origin download.docker.com

    Installing newer (than the official Debian package) software releases from third-party repos is now only possible when explicitly requested (e.g. via apt install -t sandworm onedrive – not sure if this works for all sources).
