OpenMediaVault is a free and open-source Network-Attached Storage (NAS) software which is designed to facilitate the management of your NAS. It is based on Debian and can be installed easily on Linux distributions like OpenSUSE. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install OpenMediaVault on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before installing any software, it's important to update the system to ensure that the system is running on the latest software packages. To update the system, use the following command:
sudo zypper update -y
OpenMediaVault is not available in the default OpenSUSE repository, thus we need to add the OpenMediaVault repository to the package manager. Run the following commands to add the repository and import the GPG key:
sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/filesystems/openSUSE_Leap_15.3/ filesystems
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Now that the repository is added, installing OpenMediaVault is as easy as running the following command:
sudo zypper install openmediavault
Once installation is completed, we can connect to the OpenMediaVault Web Interface by typing the IP address of the machine on which OpenMediaVault is installed, followed by ":8080". In our example, the IP address of the machine where OpenMediaVault is installed is 192.168.1.2, we will connect to the web interface using the following address:
http://192.168.1.2:8080
You will be prompted to enter your username and password, which are both "admin" by default.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenMediaVault on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now configure OpenMediaVault according to your requirements and start using it as your personal NAS 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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
