OpenMediaVault is a free and open-source storage system that is designed to manage network-attached storage (NAS) devices. It offers users a user-friendly web-based interface to manage storage, shares, and data backups.
In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing OpenMediaVault on Clear Linux.
To complete this tutorial, you will need:
Before proceeding with the installation of OpenMediaVault, ensure that your system is up to date by running the following command:
sudo swupd update
OpenMediaVault is based on Debian Linux, So we need to add a Debian repository to the system.
Run the following commands to add Debian repository:
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list <<EOF
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main
EOF
sudo tee -a /etc/apt/preferences.d/debian.pref <<EOF
Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian
Pin-Priority: -10
EOF
After adding the Debian repository, install the GnuPG key to verify the authenticity of downloaded packages.
sudo apt-get install gnupg
Import the GnuPG key.
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 0x517D0F0EAE1B165B
Update the repository index.
sudo apt-get update
Finally, Install OpenMediaVault using the following command:
sudo apt-get install openmediavault
Once the installation of OpenMediaVault is complete, you can start the OpenMediaVault service by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo systemctl start openmediavault
Open your web browser, and type in the following URL:
http://<your-server-ip-address>:80
Replace <your-server-ip-address> with the IP address of your Clear Linux machine.
You should now have access to the OpenMediaVault web interface, where you can configure and manage your storage and network devices.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install OpenMediaVault on Clear Linux Latest. You can now configure your OpenMediaVault server and start using it to manage your storage devices.
