Can't access OMV after first install

Niglix · December 15, 2020

I followed in detail the installation tutorial but I'm stuck at the installation of OMV. I can't access after the installation using the ip address or the generic link helios.local.

I did try to reinstall the configuration. To go through a boot on the Micro SD...

I don't know if there would be a command line to verify that OMV is installed? Or another way to install it?

to install OMV You should login via SSH to your helios then:

root@helios64:~# armbian-config

root@helios64:~# armbian-config

Software -> Softy -> OMV

You can verify if it installed:

root@helios64:~# dpkg -l |grep openmediavault

@Niglix How did you install the OMV? using armbian-config?

The installation process took roughtly half an hour. You can use serial console to access your Helios64 if for some reason the network down.

You would also see screen like this in serial console after OMV installed

Spoiler


Starting kernel ...

@Niglix OMV5 will wipe out any fixed IP configuration, so if you didn't use DHCP you will need to login via console to setup temporally an IP in order to then access the OMV web interface and reconfigure for good the network interface via the web interface.
