You can also power the PIs with PoE hats. There are also 3d printable rack mount brackets for a bunch of PIs that have cages that fit the PIs plus PoE hats.
Jay, great video as usual. I've had OMV 5.x installed on my home network now for about a year with external spinning SATA drives and SSDs setup as NFS/CIFS shares. Great system. Very stable and effective. BTW, I'm about half-way through your latest book and am simply loving it. Nice job on the book. Take care.
U r most humble n calm guy I see on RU-vid. U look like an innocent calm loving penguin 🐧. I decently say I ❤️ u n 🙏 respect u. I never miss any of your video.
WIth the newer version of rpi imager, you can set some configs, including enabling ssh and your wifi network and password (as well as disabling overscan, setting a hostname, setting a username and password, and locale settings) all within the GUI before flashing the card
Thanks for your great work. I started using my pi with Nextcloud first. So i used the Nextcloudpi image for Nextcloud. I just wanted i easy way to get my data baack in my home, espacially from my phone. Later i wanted more, and now i ran BitwardenRS , Jellyfin, Nginx, Portainer, Heimdall via Docker. Now all the smartphones are only syncing with my pi. I also replaced the sdcard with an ssd so the pi is booting from it. On the second usb port i have an usb hub with to ssd on it. On for all the data and a secand for the first step of my backup strategy.
I already started. I use it for myself, so i can rebuild my Pi easily when it crashes. Still needs some tuning and translation, because i wrote it in german. Any idea how i could published it?
You can try hosting on Google sites for free. Maybe use a blog type of format! I think that's the easiest way. I'm not going to deny I want to do the exact same thing you did! 😁
Great channel and videos Jay! I use Unraid and would really like to see some videos on that. Also, some videos on Virtualbox vs VMware Player as well. Thanks and keep up the great work!
That would be a video on virtual hosts. Typically, I recommend one app per Pi - if any one app on a single Pi has IO contention, each app will become unavailable (single point of failure). But that doesn’t mean I won’t do a video on it though. I’ll definitely consider it.
Why would you run NextCloud AND OpenMediaVault at the same time? (And on the same Pi) Are these two not doing almost the same? Where would you differentiate usage of the two?
Yes I was confused about this also. I first decided on OMV, but before installing came across NextCloud and felt that was the next level solution, so discarded the OMV idea. Watching this video confused me. Also see videos with ppl using Docker with NextCloud. Another unknown.
Open Media Vault on a RPi4 is incredibly slow. Write speeds to either a USB stick or 4TB SSD (6Gb/s) on a USB cable were equally slow at 8.5 to 10.5 MB/s. The same SSD and cable on a Windows 10 system wrote at 350MB/s. I abandoned OMV.
I've got pihole on an original pi. It's superb. Also got a pi 3 doing nothing. Could do with looking at these options as I also have a nas that currently isn't on the network.
It might be better option to buy some quite low level Intel NUC and run all of these in one, instead of buying Pi's. I was about to order one new RPI4 and I was astound how high the prices are currently. You can actually get a NUC for same price as rpi4 "full kit". Not cool.
I have pi-hole and OMV running on a single RPi 3B. It's been working fine, although I'm planning to migrate OMV to the newer RPi 4 since it has Gb Ethernet and USB 3.0 ports.
Hi guys, when I tried to install open media vault with the command provided in the wiki, I got this error message : Unsupported version. Only Debian 10 (Buster) and 11 (Bullseye) are supported. Exiting... Thanks Jean-François
