Hello all,

Apologies for this n00bish post, but I can't seem to find the answer myself, neither looking in the wiki nor clicking around in the live demo. I'm completely new to Linux, but have worked in IT for some time.

I'd like to make a fresh install of OMV 2.1 on new hardware, with only built-in OMV functionality (no additional plugins). Then I would like to set OMV up to periodically auto-update itself to the latest stable 2.1.x release, and optionally reboot itself.

Is this feasible? How would I go about that? Thank you very much!

Respectfully, I bump this upwards. What is the story here; is it that OMV simply doesn't support full disk encryption at OS/the software level?

Thank you very much.

Dear all,

Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I tried searching the docs and the forums before posting, but didn't quite find what I'm looking for.

I'm new to OVM, but totally loving what I see so far. But, I would need encryption of data-at-rest for some customer data that I have. In other words, I would need full-disk or partition encryption for some shares in OMV.

There is a quite complex article in the wiki about manually enabling encryption. But, can OVM handle this natively or in a simplified manner via a plugin? The underlying LVM etc support encryption, but is there a way to handle it with a GUI integrated with OMV?

Ideally, I would like to have software-based encryption, using the AES-NI instructions in the CPU, and where the key is not stored on the OVM device but has to be entered every time OVM is booted. I'd prefer not to use hardware encryption, because motherboards with a TPM and SED disks (self-encrypting disks) are much rarer than regular consumer hardware, and more expensive.

Danke sehr,

Morty
