Installing Docker & Portainer with new OMV-Extras (June 2023)

It looks like OMV-Extras has removed Docker, Portainer, and Yacht from their setup in order to push people to start using OMV's new built-in Docker container management solution.

I've had a few people reach out to me about this recently, so I made this video to help people install Docker and Portainer with the new OMV-Extras plugin as a foundation.

Below you'll find additional resources for the video.

INSTALL OMV-EXTRAS - SSH in and run the command on this page:

INSTALL DOCKER
Enable Docker Repo in omv-extras
Go to Plugins and install openmediavault-compose
Go to Services
Click Compose
Click Settings
Click "Reinstall Docker"

INSTALL PORTAINER
SSH into your OMV server and run:

Additional links and information available in the description. Let me know what your thoughts are on what OMV is doing with this change!

Thank you! this is my first time trying OMV and almost every video and resource had the portrainer + yacth approach.

[CAELST]

OMV has made things overly complicated.
I have now referred to your/this video several times to help remind me of the quickest means to an end result of portainer running on OMV.
Thank you sir

Like others, I struggled with these changes.I stumbled along until I found the solution by accident. Good softwaredesign shouldn't be like that. ' If it ain't broken, don't fix it ', Keep I Short & Simple. These cliches still apply! Thanks for the video!

[Gremlin-sqmr]

Thank you this helped me out loads. I'm a bit of a noob trying to follow older tutorials and getting completely lost

[melhorvaynedomeuquarto]

Thanks bro, I was trying to install this shit and you're the only one that worked

[Jan_Alexander]

I woke up with a broken system, because between updates OMV changed completely omv-extras and all my services were down. I had to go to the OMV forum to find a way to fix my system and the main reason I couldn't make it work was a misleading instruction in the guide that the mod keeps saying is perfectly logic "because I am the only one out of 15 people that whined about it". Another user helped me and I could make it work again. This is NOT the way to develop anything, if something is going to change so much, you must add a BIG info like "Before applying this update please read this [link] or go on at your own risk". Assuming a user will know what happened is very nerdy. This change broke a ton of tutorials on the net, I don't like this behavior at all. Anyway thanks for this video, you keep being precious on this matter.

I just realized there is nothing in omv-extras so I found your video. I'm pleasantly happy they just didn't nuke the docker/portainer/containers I already had running. I think it was fine the way it was. I could just click 'Install Docker' from omv-extras to UPDATE docker.. it was super simple.

Anyway, I was doing all the rest from the CLI and portainer anyway. I think I'll just un-marry docker/portainer from OMV and make a new one on a bigger SBC. Thanks for the info!

[SarahPoulin]

THANK YOU for this. My Odroid HC2 died after 3 years for no reason, so I bought the HC4 and did a fresh install of everything and was scratching my head as to what happened to Docker and Portainer!

[Nemosaur]

Thank you!
Saved me a lot of headache!

[luykennethcarl]

commenting here for further reach. great vid as usual, this helped me setting up my OMV right now. keep it up!

[gresign]

Thank you soo much for this video. One of those omv updates just killed my raspberrypi installation and this video helped me to not lose my mind setting my portainers up again

[johnpetro]

I used OMV5, but when 6 came out, I took a look and realized, that all I really needed was docker/portainer. I wasn't really using the other features, and since at the time there didn't seem to be a upgrade path from OMV5 to OMV6, I just stopped using it, and went with a straight docker/portainer install. For me, it just came down to requirements, and I realize that other folks probably didn't have the same experience I had.

[Nick-epcm]

Thanks a lot, helped me after installing over 5 hours with other videos . They never worked. Yours did 100% Thank you

[GeorgiParvanov]

Thank you for this video! The best and easies way for beginners :) It helped me a lot :)

[Reed_]

I never understood any of this until your video! THANK YOU!

[ali_boody]

Great tutorial, DB.
Btw you can install Portainer through OMV by going to Services->Compose->Files-> 2nd or 3rd icon (i think it says Create from examples)->then choose portainer or portainer-omv!!! or any of the other pre-made compose scripts.

[daniloalmeida]

I'm just starting to experiment with NAS stuff and have installed OMV for home storage. I'm wondering what can be done with this type of server. Docker expands even further. Thanks for the instructions.

[DavidJohnson-biuk]

Thanks for the how-to. I was following install steps for 6.0 and 6.5 requires many extra steps. I appreciate your vids!

[antonbotha]

I agree with Blue Squadron, I moved to Proxmox with CasaOS running in a LXC container and binding my storage to the container.
