You can install Portainer with docker-compose and have control over your port number and config location. When it’s time to upgrade just run docker-compose pull portainer and then docker-compose up -d. My guess is that if you try to upgrade this way with an existing Portainer (GUI) install you will break it. It’s best implemented with a fresh (docker-compose) install.

Code

version: "2"
services:
  portainer:
    image: portainer/portainer-ce:latest
    container_name: portainer
    volumes:
      - /NAS/AppData/portainer:/data ##Adjust as needed.
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    ports:
      - 8000:8000
      - 9000:9000 ##Adjust as needed.
    restart: unless-stopped

HT KM0201 here.

I tried to change an existing install by just changing the /data volume.. It failed every time. I love the simplicity of the button in the webUI (and it's great for new users). Obviously the way it is designed, it has to be a one size fits all approach. As someone a little beyond a newb, I use docker-compose so I can set my data volume. After that, it's all compose files in stacks. This makes restoring from a backup, adjusting and redploying containers, etc.. so so much easier.

Only if the configuration stored in config.xml is redeployed. This could be triggered by a change in the GUI.

Interesting...

Thanks!

Dear OMV community,

I am actually thinking to build my 1st NAS DIY for mainly medias storage (Plex streaming using 4k transcoding HW acceleration and hdr tone mappings) + some day to day backups (images, Excel file ect). The configuration I have retained is :

- Asus B460-I plus mini ITX

- Intel I5 10600

- Fury X 2X 8Go DDR 4

- Seagate Ironwolf CMR 4x8To or 4x6To (in raid5)

- Samsung evo 250 Go NVME (for system boot. Can be a USB key to save M2 port if OMV support it without issues)

- Alimentation Corsair Cx 430

- Fan CPU Bequiet Pure Rock 2

- Fractal node 304

Initially, I wanted to go on Truenas... however... I noticed a loooot of posts from people having issues (Network chipset realtek not supported, Sata controllers of mobo not running well, system fails with RAM not in ECC). My conclusion is that Truenas is for professional Hardware servers and not for everyone's machine.

Therefore, as I am looking for a stable configuration, I am trying my luck with OMV that seems to be more user friendly.

What is your opinion on my Hardware selection ? (Overkill, not enough for Plex container in OMV)...

What do you think to go on OMV for the usage I mentioned (streaming through Plex, backup in raid5, nextcloud) ?

Thank you very much in advance for your time and feedback.

Alex

The B460 Chipsets are pretty new as I recall... (I tend to buy "last years" tech... It may be supported well, I just seem to remember reading issues on them)

USB installs are just fine. Key thing is to install OMV-extras, and then install the flash-memory plugin, as this will reduce the writing on the flash drive.

Quote from confusedspanishboi

now i tested all what you said +clearing cache with brave browser +testing in diferent browsers. This hapened about 10 months ago and in that time the server was in building so i went for the fresh install route , now the things have changed and are that if i touch will demand some learning afterwards to repair .

The system really is more or less "set it and forget it" if it's set up properly... Other than logging in every couple days to run updates, I don't mess w/ my system very much at all

Quote from jghake

This was all working just fine before, now none of this works as the OS is in some sort of angry recovery mode. I'm sure the data is somewhere but I don't know how to find exactly where. I can cd .. til my fingers cramp, then it's just in /docker

Is it in /var/lib/docker ?

Quote from jghake

Docker says stopped, I'm not surprised, as ssh doesn't even work.

/docker has a bunch of folders in it, one of which is containers

where is /docker ?

SSH doesn't need docker to work... unless you're using wetty. You could just install Putty (or use Windows Power Shell) and SSH the server.

What directory did you find the containers in?

Client:

Context: default

Debug Mode: false

Sounds like docker isn't running

systemctl status docker | grep Active

Quote from jghake

Tried again can confirm I typed exactly as shown.

I found a directory with containers in it, but it doesn't say where on the disk is it.

what is the output of

docker info

Quote from jghake

It says

"errors pretty printing info" *scratches head*

That makes no sense. Are you sure you put it in right?

You should get a output something like this.

ken@openmediavault:~$ docker info | grep Root
 Docker Root Dir: /srv/dev-disk-by-label-D1/Containers
ken@openmediavault:~$ 

Quote from jghake

I tried to do this, created storage within portainer, assigned what containers I could figure out how to use it.

I'm still new to docker, portainer, OMV, Debian... I'm not confident it's all where I expect it to be.

Lol

What is the output of

docker info | grep Root

That will tell you where your dockers are stored.

Well that looks good.

Rule out a cache issue.. Open your browser in Privacy/Incognito mode, and see if you can log in.

If you can, go back to a normal browser, go to the sign on screen, and on most browsers, Hold Shit, Control and hit R.

If you find it's full..

When i try to acces via the web interface as always with no error message apearing it to give me a clue.

+ I tried first aid and changed the admin password

+ when a wrong user or password is entered and error message is shown

+ All of the SMB files and docker via portainter are runing

This problem started when i tried to share a folder in the same device as the OS , in other times it worked well , dont really know why this time failed

Check if your OS drive is full... This is a common side effect.

What is the output of

df -h /

Quote from macom

OMV uses https://netplan.io/

So you could edit /etc/netplan/*.yaml based on these examples https://netplan.io/examples/

Interesting... I never knew this... mine is 20-openmediavault-enp1s0.yaml

network:
  ethernets:
    enp1s0:
      match:
        macaddress: 68:05:ca:2b:de:1c
      addresses:
      - 192.168.1.166/24
      gateway4: 192.168.1.1
      dhcp4: false
      dhcp6: false
      link-local: []
      nameservers:
        addresses:
        - 75.75.75.75
        - 75.75.76.76
      wakeonlan: true

So I could change my IP (192.168.1.166)... and that would change it? I would think the webUI would overwrite that file once he restarted...

I have a bunch of docker containers, and spent quite a bit of effort getting it working.

Is rebuilding my only option?

If your container folder and configuration folders (ie /config) are not on your OS drive, then it's just a simple matter of pointing docker back at your containers folder, and everything will be as it was before this happened.

Quote from sferia82

no

Why are you running a desktop on your server? There are reasons (this may we'll be one) it is not suggested or supported.

I'm not sure how your going to fix this

Did you read the error. It tells you exactly what to do.

Quote

you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem

So....

I would ssh my server and become root, and run the command... Usually this is caused by an update getting interrupted

dpkg --configure -a

It could be, could also be your router, your laptop, or since you're copying over WLAN, some other sort of atmospheric interference.

Quote from STUKguy

Ok so i was wrong about the how much data i need to back up, actual totals are

106GB Documents

720GB Media

So the gdrive is out of the question

LOL, 106gb in documents?

I've got tax returns/documents from 20yrs, and am not even 10gigs (I guess if you have a lot of family photos you may be including those there)
