Quick update on my NAS experience with OpenMediaVault... just wanted to drop a few notes as I dig into TrueNAS Scale in the coming weeks.

@awinkler Also ich benutze #OpenMediaVault auf irgendeiner Blechdose mit Festplatten drin.
Mit etwas Glück, kann man irgendwo einen alten HP ProLiant MicroServer abgreifen, dann hat man erst mal ausgesorgt. Ich fahre seit mehr als 10 Jahren einen N54L. Der geht nicht kaputt. Darum kostet der heute genauso viel wie damals.
Just moved 4 #RAID-ed drives from a physical 2-core #NAS to one of my #ProxMox servers into a VM running #OpenMediaVault. The old #SAMBA shares have been recreated, the docker service running #PsiTransfer restarted, and everything is working.
Phew!
Step 1 of my "Epic 2025 Cloud Exodus Saga" is complete.
I have a personal cloud. It's that thing right there.
Safely at home behind a NAT but reachable over Tailscale for SMB shares and a reverse proxy on an Oracle VPS for NextCloud.
This was hell. I can't believe I actually made it work.
Now this was some serious ninja docker thing, at least for me.
Glad I watched Inception and understood it.

Oooh, discovered there is a File Browser plugin for OpenMediaVault which is super handy...
#openmediavault upgraded... tomorrow the test
#homelab update!
Spent all of last night and a good chunk of today combining my compute and storage servers into a single machine! Will I regret this? Maybe. Is it cool as hell? Absolutely!
Using #proxmox as my host OS. Currently setting it up, and I can tell that it’ll be awesome, but it’s definitely got a learning curve. Currently setting up #openmediavault in a #virtualmachine and passing through my hard drives in a RAID. I will report back
NAS Server is up and running !!! Finally, took me a while to figure things out since I never done it before.. #OMV #OpenMediaVault #NAS #FOSS #Linux #OpenSource
Mich rief ein Bekannter an. Er hatte keinen Zugriff mehr auf seinen #OpenMediaVault Server ( #Raspberry #Pi5 ).
Er habe nix gemacht, ausser Updates angestossen.
Ich logge mich auf meinen OpenMediaVault Server ein, sehe ein paar Updates, stosse sie an, reboote und ...
Genau!
Habe keinen Zugriff mehr!
Okay, ist eh nur ein Spiel"server" und die Daten sind alle noch vorhanden, wären sie eh, weil ich Backups en masse habe.
Also installiere ich neu.
Man gönnt sich ja sonst nix!

Running a NAS with Docker has actually put me off using proprietary phone apps. I do a lot of planning and writing, watch a lot of TV, and I keep home recipes too; so I have distinct apps for each one of those. The problem is that all these apps feel temporary!
I've used so many services that have shut down over the years, forcing me to migrate or start from scratch every so often. There's no sense of permanence any more. Netflix picks up and dumps my favourite 90s shows like hot potatoes.
But, with open source software on my NAS, I don't have that problem. All the data is stored in expected standards, like text files, and if the developer stops working on it, I still have my active version for as long as I want. Jellyfin is mine! I can maintain it for as long as I want, and I've saved my DVDs from bit rot by ripping them as MP4 files that run on everything.
My next quest is to find some self hosting novel software! #opensource #openmediavault #docker #raspberrypi #jellyfin
Ich bin dann auch mal #neuhier
Ich rede gerne über IT Krams wie #OpenSource #FOSS #Linux #Openwrt #CalyxOS #FrameworkLaptop #OpenMediaVault
Ich fahre #Rennrad und #GravelBike mit und ohne #Zelt und manchmal mit dem #Bulli.
Gerade in Elternzeit mit Kind 3, sonst #agilecoach
Twitter ist schon lange gelöscht, nun habe ich endlich die zeit gefunden hier mal zu schnuppern. Moin!
