Open-Media-Vault (OMV) VM Running in Proxmox | Proxmox Home Server | Home Lab

If you don't want to use TrueNAS as your Proxmox home server NAS setup. There is alternative and quite good one. Open Media Vault (OMV). Simple to setup. Not as demanding on resources as TrueNAS.

In this video i will show you how to get OMV VM running inside Proxmox. How to pass-through HDD in to that VM and how to setup simple SMB share.

Just followed this tutorial using OMV 6.5, and it's still perfect. Many thanks for making this video. 🙂

tons of practical, real-world advice. I installed turnkey-fileserver which works great but I'm curious about alternatives. Thanks! Subscribed.

Thanks for this MRP! I was looking exactly for this and you uploaded this right on time! 😊

[Tortxu]

Thanks for your videos, they are really helpful and easy to understand. continue with proxmox videos!

[clangerbasher]

I thought about doing this a while back and thought it wouldn't work. Thanks for proving the idea is a flyer!

[andhifarij]

Thank you for the guide! It's super thorough and helpful!

[badboo]

thanks so muchfor this guide. For a newbie like me, no hickups to follow your guide and learning on the process.

This is so beautiful. Using the uuid to add the drive. Wow! Just saved me tons of stress.

You have become my default click for anything Proxmox; I'll even type MRP before videos just to check and I am always glad when you have a video on what I'm trying to do 😁 Ended up moving away from TrueNAS as a solution as I was using so many LXC containers, and bind mounting was just getting annoying. I also think I was dealing with some weird performance issues when streaming 4k content, although I'm not sure whether that was due to my ZFS setup or something else. My specs are great and LAN is on 1Gb so no idea what's going on there. Also got vGPU working, would love to see you do a video on that as it's a fascinating (and somewhat involved) process.

Thank you very much MrP, as always to the point, it couldn't be better. Gracias

[keifer]

Great guide! got me through it on my first try.

[manelcat]

Thank you for your explanation, it has been very useful to me!

[leandrocode]

Thanks a lot. You are the best!!! Easy steps

Thanks for the video. For me, when I used -sata1 as an option, the disk was showing up in the disk section of omv but with orange text, though. I could not get it to show up in omv. When I used -scsi1 it worked.

Thanks for the video. I wonder if I can use the same sda device in different VMs at the same time. What I want is use it in a LXC to store data to and use it for OVM. If yes, is it enough when setting up OMV like you descirbed to add the UUID from the device that already is in use?

New to doing research on youtube channels. I'm sure it's just me, but for some reason, when the host indicates there's a link listed in the description below, I rarely find them....in this case, I'm not seeing where there's a link for the OMV ISO.... Sure, I'm able to use the link that I can see in the video, but the host says there's a link in the description area and I can't find it.

hello, thank ... how to shares disk zfs ( proxmox ) intro sorry my english

[realmadera]

Thank you. I have 1 question. If proxmox is down will I be able to access the passthrough drives off a different OMV?

[johnjohansson]

Great tutorial, but I was wondering if there is unnecessary overhead when creating ext4 filesystem inside a ZFS pool? Wouldn't it be better to use the ZFS pool just as is passing it through?

Hi @MRP, I did follow your guide (thanks!) and managed to set everything up without any issues. However, when I try to copy files over WiFi using Samba/Windows via mapped disk, I get a terrible average transfer rate at around 2-3 MB/s. Is there any way to fix it? I'm using a 2.5" 500GB HDD (5200) but when I connected an SSD to a USB 3.1 port the rate was the same. Perhaps there is a way to make it more efficient, but currently it was a fun project but it's unusable...
