This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing OpenMediaVault on the latest version of Kali Linux. OpenMediaVault is a free, open-source network-attached storage (NAS) solution that allows you to manage your data and storage using a web-based interface.
Before we proceed, it is important to note that Kali Linux is not a recommended platform for OpenMediaVault installation due to the potential compatibility issues with the packages and dependencies. If you are looking for a stable and reliable installation, it is recommended to use a Debian-based distribution instead.
Before we start installing additional packages, it is important to ensure that the system is up to date with the latest patches and updates. Open a terminal and execute the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
OpenMediaVault requires several dependencies to run correctly on the system. Execute the following command in the terminal to install these dependencies:
sudo apt-get install nano wget gnupg2 curl apt-transport-https dirmngr udev
To install OpenMediaVault on Kali Linux, we need to add the OpenMediaVault repository to the system. Execute the following commands in the terminal to add the repository:
wget -O - https://openmediavault.github.io/packages/OMV_5.x/Release.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://openmediavault.github.io/packages/OMV_5.x/ stoneburner main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openmediavault.list
Now that we have added the repository to the system, execute the following command to install OpenMediaVault:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openmediavault
During the installation process, you will be prompted to enter a password for the OpenMediaVault administrator account. Make sure to keep this password safe as it will be used to access the OpenMediaVault web-based interface.
Once the installation is complete, you can access the OpenMediaVault web-based interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://admin, and the password is the one you set during the installation process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured OpenMediaVault on Kali Linux latest. You can now use the interface to manage your data and storage efficiently.
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
