Armbian with preinstalled OpenMediaVault (OMV)

[MrT]

So something is wrong. When booting up the i can see all the checks that debian normally does. But then my screen turns black and the disks spin down.

I will try to see when this happens an if i can see the error on the screen.

for Odroid XU4 with OMV

32 bit Debian / OMV packages could be a problem. Can you try the same using some other hw platform?

[MrT]

I only have a Raspberry pi 4  or 3 to play with. Would that do?

Feel free to try with rpi4 since we provide 64bit images for it.

Hello Igor.

May I ask you to build an image with OMV7 preinstalled for RockPro64?
I don't have enough knowledge to do it on my own.

I know that OMV6 can be upgraded to OMV7 using omv-release-upgrade.
But as I understand it, the Armbian version will remain current.

[Werner]

There isn't much to it. tl;dr: clone the repo using git and execute ./compile.sh. Rest is interactive. https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/

Yes it is possible to include omv6(!) while building the image but there is actually not much to it doing by hand. This is basically how an Armbian omv-preinstalled image is made:

https://github.com/armbian/os/blob/3c2bf37c3544f2d16ac12e1c407e6976367ec4d0/userpatches/extensions/omv.sh#L15-L35

tl;dr: grab omv key, install omv key, apt update, apt install openmediavault

You can do that manually after first boot.

Hello.
Thanks for the hints, but unfortunately I don't understand everything.
In the previous version of armbian, OMV6 was included in the repository and installation was easy even for me.
In the new version (Bookworm), OMV7 is missing from the repository. 
If you can tell me which commands to add OMV7 to the repository, then I'll just have to write apt install omv.

[Werner]

Just checked and it seems like their Release file on the repo is still marked with ovm6 while the package you get when installing is omv7.

Tried to build an image with omv pre-installed, but throw a bunch of errors, so no idea if it works. https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/.testing/Armbian-unofficial_25.02.0-trunk_Rockpro64_bookworm_current_6.12.9-omv.img.xz

If not grab a standard rockpro image ( https://dl.armbian.com/rockpro64/Bookworm_current_minimal ) and proceed according omv docs:  https://docs.openmediavault.org/en/stable/installation/on_debian.html

Keep in mind that omv heavily messes with the system, so if anything breaks after installation (like network access or even boot) we cannot help. This is userspace.

 

[AlexVS]

Thank you. I'll try to install it.

Thanks for your help, the OMV7 installation went smoothly.
