Raspberry Pi OMV 6 NAS

OpenMediaVault 6 network attached storage (NAS) software installed and configured on a Raspberry Pi 4, with a drive then mapped on a Windows PC.

And the install instructions page I showed in the video is here:

However, the install process I demonstrated in the video, and which I believe is easier for beginners, is to:

User the imager to write Raspberry Pi OS Lite to a microSD card.

Boot the Pi with a monitor and keyboard attached, and execute the commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo reboot

The above should be all that is required on a Raspberry Pi 4. But on a Raspberry Pi 3A or 3B, before the wget command, first execute:

Hi everyone brilliant video just an update to anyone installing OMV6 if you find it will not install took me hours of looking but found the answer make sure when you look for what version of PIOS make sure its NOT the BOOKWORM version it has to be the BULLSEYE version there is no warning a problem will occur good luck everybody

[welshbikepackingadventures]

Comprehensively explained and easy to understand, even for me. Thank you Chris

Greetings Chris ! Wish you an amazing week ahead.
It's so nice of you make update videos for previous projects in accordance with modern technology changes.

Brilliant video Chris! I've been using an RPi4 4Gb since omv5 and recently upgraded to omv6. It's been going strong for... iirc for a little less than 3 years, and of course my first go was because of your 1st omv video! Thank you!

[spikekent]

I remember your OMV5 video, great to have an updated version. Keep the awesome videos coming Chris.

[tonywalker]

Once again, brilliant. Your clear, concise no frills tutorials are like a breath of fresh air. Thank you.

[tpobrienjr]

Excellent, fast-paced presentation. Thank heaven for the pause key.

[johngrwf]

First rate tutorial Chris, perfect timing as I'm about to update features on my shack network. Many thanks, J

[Anthony-rylo]

Sir.
I have been a fan for years. I truly enjoy your videos, as they are clear and explain the theory as well as the end goal in a way that is easy to comprehend and flow. To many you tubers spend to much time just filling the videos with fluff to run the clock out. Or spend endless hrs’ talking about how intelligent they are and never getting to the point of the project. I have made many of your projects, and enjoy them all.
A few years ago I set up OMV on a Pi 4 via one of your tutorials. One thing I have always wanted to do was replace the USB drive with a RAID system. OMV will not let you RAID Usb drives. Put the new Pi 5 has that PCIe slot so I was thinking, , Hint Hint!
Thanks and keep up the great work!
Tony

I really do not normally comment or suscribe to stuff on YouTube but I have made an exception here.
This presentation is brilliant. The bite size chunks make it easy to follow and your voice is clear and understandable for a person like me with hearing issues.
Thanks Chris.

This is a good tutorial, definitely one to save. I may setup a NAS this way when I finally move into the new house.

[christianwetzel]

Worked like a charm, thank you so much for this excellent guide! OpenMediaVault is great, finally no more fiddling with mounting, Samba configurations or Windows access issues.

Additional hint for those wanting to connect an existing NTFS formatted drive: 1) Make sure the drive label contains no blank space. 2) In the "Filesystem" configuration step, use OpenMediaVault's "Mount" instead of "Create" function. 3) In the "Shared Folders" step, set the relative path to "/".

Really appreciate this. Rethinking my storage, and this now is part of my consideration set. Kindest regards. P.s. nice touch with the ducks 8:47.

[jacobnoori]

As always, your guides are exceptional, Chris. Thank you for another video!

[donkink]

This the earliest I've ever got to watch one of your videos, thanks for the update.

[CCoburn]

A magical episode -- plenty of the magic of filmmaking and the magic of computing. Also very informative.

[srvuk]

I've used OMV for years and it has always been reliable for what it does and the configuration options available. I suspect that when the next variation of the Pi (or its killer) comes along then the Pi4 will likely still have use as a NAS. Great guide, done in your usual exacting way to avoid confusion and very useful indeed.

Greetings to you! If you ever wondered whether your 'old' presentations had been revisited, you'll be happy to know that they definitely have! For several months, I've been tinkering with a Nextcloud installation on my Raspberry Pi 4 (in an Argon One V2 box, of course). It works, it's pretty, but there's always a little something that gets in the way. On reflection, I watched this video again and installed OMV 7. Everything's humming along beautifully, no problems at all, we're not talking about it any more! Thank you so much!

[Axl_Pose]

Excellent timing with this video as I have been pondering the update for a few weeks. I've been running OMV5 for about a year on a pi4 2gb. It has been on pretty much constantly and never had any issues with it, it just sits in the corner doing its thing. Good to know about end of support for 5 as it will push me to make the upgrade.

[chrismorgan]

Excellent video, Chris, as usual. Sadly, there are few ducks near my current residence... simple pleasures are definitely some of the best. Be safe.
