    Maybe somebody should update Problem/Solution #3

    If the user is member of the group "openmediavault-admin" then that user has the same power in the WebUI as the admin user.

    If you have installed OMV v7.x (very likely, because it's the actual version ) you need to install the "openmediavault-md" plugin.

    Then under "Storage --> Multiple Device" you should see your RAID-1 Array.

    Under "Storage --> File Systems" you should see your filesystem.

    Now mount your existing filesystem and (re-)create your shares.

    I'm using the MiniDLNA plugin with my LG-TV since years, small footprint, easy to configure and works like a charm.

    Just make sure that the "minidlna" user has read permissions on your media files.

    The rsyslog documentation is a PITA (old vs. new config syntax)

    Here is my finally working config file:


    Next thing will be "logrotate"

    I hope the man page is not as bad as the one of rsyslog :)

    My routers syslog is stored in a ramdisk and lost upon a reboot/crash.

    For debugging purposes I would like to log to some persistant storage.

    So I have cretaed an additional .conf file in /etc/rsyslog.d with the following content


    Code
    # Provides TCP syslog reception
    module(load="imtcp")
    input(type="imtcp" port="514")
    
    :fromhost-ip, isequal, "192.168.0.1" /var/log/banane.log
    & stop


    When using logger "some blabla" on the router I can see it in it's syslog but not in the specified logfile on the OMV box.


    Any hint appreciated

    The device tree information is available via /proc/device-tree.

    You change the device tree information by modifying the underlying *.DTS and/or *.DTSI source files and send them through the device tree compiler (dtc) to generate the DTB (device tree binary) file, which is read at boot time or part of the kernel image being loaded.

    Why not running syncthing as native application on OMV ?

    I did a test on a VM and:

    apt-get install syncthing -s did not show any dependencies

    After installing syncthing create a user in the OMV Gui, in my case the user "syncthing"

    Make sure that his homedir is on your "main storage"

    After that:

    systemctl enable syncthing@syncthing.service

    systemctl start syncthing@syncthing.service


    After that modify ~syncthing/.config/syncthing/config.xml

    serach for 127.0.0.1 and replace with 0.0.0.0

    systemctl restart syncthing@syncthing.service


    Syncthing has it's own Gui available on https://192.168.xx.yy:8384

    It's up to you to set a password

    There are lot's of discussions regarding hardware recommendations.

    You might start here:

    You will have to install OMV without any disk in slot 1-4, this will install GRUB on the SSD.

    Next step is to insert a SD-Card or USB-Stick (internal)

    Boot OMV from SSD and install GRUB on the SD-Card/USB-Stick. (read the man page "man grub-install")

    Now insert disk(s) into slot 1-4 and when done correct, it should still boot OMV.

    If you have configured your system to use 8.8.8.8 as DNS server and still can not resolve "github.com"

    you have another issue, right now (as I'm typing) 8.8.8.8 can resolve github.com.

    You might also try 9.9.9.9 as DNS server.

    The upgrade 6.x --> 7.x went smooth but soon I figured out, my miniDLNA server just offered empty folders.

    Checking the membership of the "minidlna" system user, I found it was missing from the groups that have read permissions on my video/audio/photo share.

    In my case adding the user back to the groups "video-r", "audio-r" and photos-r" and hitting the "rescan" button solved the issue.
