OpenMediaVault is a free and open-source network-attached storage (NAS) software used for managing and sharing file storage across a network. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing OpenMediaVault on NetBSD.
Before we start the installation, we need to make sure that the following requirements are met:
Before installing OpenMediaVault, we need to install its dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following command to install them:
pkgin update
pkgin install curl gnupg sudo
OpenMediaVault is not available in the NetBSD package repository, so we need to add the OpenMediaVault repository. To do this, run the following commands:
echo "deb https://packages.openmediavault.org/public usul main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openmediavault.list
curl -sSL https://packages.openmediavault.org/public/archive.key | sudo apt-key add -
After adding the OpenMediaVault repository, run the following commands to update and install OpenMediaVault:
pkgin update
pkgin install openmediavault-keyring
apt-get update
apt-get install openmediavault -y
After installation, we need to start the OpenMediaVault services. Run the following commands to start them:
hostnamectl set-hostname mynas.example.com
export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8
omv-initsystem
Finally, we can access the OpenMediaVault web interface by opening a web browser and entering the following URL:
https://<your-NetBSD-system-IP>:80
You will be prompted with a login page; use the default credentials to log in:
Username: admin
Password: openmediavault
Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenMediaVault on NetBSD. Now, you can use OpenMediaVault to manage and share your file storage across your network.
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!
