OpenMediaVault Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Windows to Linux Switch

  I'm using openmediavault.org for my "NAS" OS. No desktop, but it does have a good web-based GUI. To automount your NAS drive, you'd have to modify your fstab file. Lots of good tutorials online. Source: over 1 year ago

• Thinking about making a home storage server

  Basically, there a few options to start with. The most decent ones are TrueNAS/FreeNAS (https://www.truenas.com/) , OMV (openmediavault.org), both supports zfs. Also, you can look into UnRAID (https://unraid.net/) which allows you to scale easily. Also, some info on zfs https://www.enterprisestorageforum.com/hardware/10-reasons-why-zfs-rocks/ https://www.starwindsoftware.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-zfs. Source: over 1 year ago

• just how well does the nvidea shield pro do as a plex server?

  I have 5 Optiplex 3010's (i3-3rd Gen processors) sitting in my closet with 4GB RAM that would work just fine as a direct play Plex server with openmediavault as it's OS. And should even HW Transcode a couple of 1080p files with a Plex Pass. Source: over 1 year ago

• How I reclaimed my server after resetting devices after the breach (Ubuntu)

  Wow, I'm on a Debian based headloess OS (openmediavault.org) and my update was much easier. Source: over 1 year ago

• No write access after clean install of Linux Mint

  The link that u/Fribbtastic had quite a bit of detail. Or there is always r/linux4noobs. I don't have mine installed on Mint and the GUI of my openmediavault.org OS is quite a bit different (I.e. There is no desktop, only a web interface/command line). But the command line should be the same for all distros built off of Debian. Source: over 1 year ago

• How stable/dependable is your PleX instance?

  Once I got all the correct settings on my server and clients the only problems I've had is the ones that I have no control over (I.e Plex issue on their end). Other than that it has been rock solid running on https://openmediavault.org since 2017. Source: over 2 years ago

• Is it worth me moving back to a Linux based OS?

  I've been running OpenMediaVault and Plex since 2017. I also use this machine for my file server for my personal files, Tautulli and it is my PiHole. My next project will probably be NextCloud on the server since it has been so reliable ...even on 9+ year old Dell 7010. Source: over 2 years ago

• Raspberry Pi Plex Server External Hard Drive Always On

  I'm running OMV https://openmediavault.org/ and in the web gui I have an option to disable the sleeping of each drive. (Mine spin 24/7/365 so that I don't have to wait for them to "wake up"). Each OS is different, a Google search may help. Source: over 2 years ago

• Easiest way to attach external storage?

  FreeNAS or OpenMediaVault can be run on something as small as a Raspberry pi. Plug in your USB HDD and go. Source: over 2 years ago

• Why is Amahi not a popular home server solution?

  Anyway, I also use ZFS. My server distro of choice is OpenMediaVault, which has a great ZFS plugin that allows easy management via Web UI. Source: almost 3 years ago
