OpenMediaVault (OMV) is a free, open-source NAS operating system for server applications that is designed to run on Debian-based systems. However, it is still possible to install OMV on a Fedora Server if you follow these steps:
Before installing the OpenMediaVault, make sure that your server is fully updated with the latest patches and packages. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo dnf update
OpenMediaVault requires some additional repositories to be added to your Fedora Server to function correctly. To add these repositories, execute the following commands:
sudo dnf install -y epel-release
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/fedora/docker-ce.repo
sudo dnf install -y https://packages.openmediavault.org/public/archive.key
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
The OpenMediaVault package relies on Docker, and you'll need to install the Docker Engine to work correctly. To install Docker, use the following command:
sudo dnf install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
Once Docker is installed, you can then install OpenMediaVault. To install OMV, execute the following command:
sudo dnf install openmediavault
After installing OpenMediaVault, the next step is to configure it. Run the following command to start the configuration tool:
sudo omv-initsystem
During the configuration process, you will need to specify a network interface, set the date and time, configure the network settings and create an administrator user account for OMV. Make sure you set a strong password for the administrator account.
Once you've completed these steps, you should have OpenMediaVault running on your Fedora Server. You can now start using OpenMediaVault to manage and serve your files and data from your server.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
