Install Openmediavault On Debian Squeeze Rumi, May 16, 2013May 16, 2013 OpenMediaVault is the next generation network attached storage (NAS) solution based on Debian Linux. It contains services like SSH, (S)FTP, SMB/CIFS, DAAP media server, RSync, BitTorrent client and many more. Thanks to the modular design of the framework it can be enhanced via plugins. Prerequisites Debian Squeeze installed on your server. Installation Configuring The Sources If you're on Gnome then start the Root Terminal Type: nano /etc/apt/sources.list to edit your package source file At the bottom of the file add all of the following: # Deb Multimedia deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org squeeze main non-free deb-src http://www.deb-multimedia.org sid main # OpenMediaVault deb http://packages.openmediavault.org/public omnius main Press CTRL+X to exit Press Y when prompted if you want to save the modified buffer Press ENTER on File Name to Write to overwrite the existing file Type apt-get update to fetch package lists from the sources we just added Type apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyring to install the public keys for the Deb Multimedia repository Type apt-get install openmediavault-keyring to install the public keys for the OpenMediaVault repository Type y if you're asked if you want to install the packages without verification Installing Postfix Before OpenMediaVault can be installed you need postfix, otherwise OMV installation won't run Type apt-get install postfix Press Y when asked if you want to continue When asked what kind of configuration you need, I choose No configuration but you can use another setting if you prefer Postfix is now installed Install OpenMediaVault Type apt-get install openmediavault Press Y when asked if you want to continue Press 'y' when asked if you want to install these packages without verification Wait a while as openmediavault installs The following settings are for a quick setup, but you can change any of them if necessary On Configuring mdadm just go on OK to continue On Configuring scponly choose No On ProFTPd configuration choose standalone On Configuring tftpd-hpa leave the default setting and go on Ok On the Samba Server setting leave WORKGROUP. Once installation finishes, type: reboot to restart your microserver At this point you'll lose the ability to SSH to your server, but that's a quick fix: On any machine connected to your network, go to http://openmediavault.local Login with the default logins. Username: admin Password: openmediavault In the left navigation, under Services, select SSH. Enable it at the top, then press OK to Save SSH should now be working again Post Installation Now that you've got OpenMediaVault running, there's still a couple of stages left before it'll work like a standalone installation. A lot of OpenMediaVaults' power lies in the fact that you can install plugins, so next we'll make sure that our OpenMediaVault installation allows us to install plugins properly. Enable Plugin Installation From a machine on your network do the following: Go to the OMV plugins package directory on a web browser Find the latest version of the package ending with x.x.x_all.deb e.g. openmediavault-omvpluginsorg_0.3.4_all.deb Copy the location of this package to your clipboard (in Chrome you'd right click the link and Copy Link Address) Connect to your microserver via SSH Type wget <package_url_here> (replace <package_url_here>, including the < and > with the URL you just copied to your clipboard) E.g. wget http://packages.omv-plugins.org/pool/main/o/openmediavault-omvpluginsorg/openmediavault-omvpluginsorg_0.3.4_all.deb This will download the plugins package to your microserver Type dpkg -i <package_name_here>. Replace <package_name_here> including the < and > with the name of the package you just downloaded. E.g. dpkg -i openmediavault-omvpluginsorg_0.3.4_all.deb This will install the package we just downloaded Once installed we can delete the package file, so type: rm <package_name_here> E.g. rm openmediavault-omvpluginsorg_0.3.4_all.deb Alternatively… If you don't have access to a computer, or don't have SSH setup then for now you can use this URL as the package URL and run the commands above on the microserver itself http://packages.omv-plugins.org/pool/main/o/openmediavault-omvpluginsorg/openmediavault-omvpluginsorg_0.3.4_all.deb Src: http://myhpmicroserver.com/wiki/Configure_OpenMediaVault http://myhpmicroserver.com/wiki/Install_Openmediavault_On_Debian_Squeeze Administrations Configurations (Linux) DebianOpenmediavaultStorage
