Good afternoon,

I love my B3 but it is now showing its age. I saw topics to install wheezy on B3: do you think would it be possible to install OpenMediaVault once Wheezy is installed?

Or has anyone installed OpenMediaVault on B3?

Thank you

Fabio

Done!

I managed to install it and it works quite well. CPU load is not so high and memory allocation is ok, as well as performances.

It is so easy to quickly install transmission, minidlna, dnsmasq and all the required services.

B3, after 4 years, still does a wonderful job, and with OMV it is living a second life

Hi fabio,

I'm interested by your experience.
Any problem with OMV ? Are all plugins working ?

Which topics did you followed to install Wheezy ?

I'm currently hesitating between ArchLinux (sakaki's version) and an updated Wheezy version.

Thanks for your feedback

Hi,

the plugin I needed are working correctly (MiniDLNA, DNS, Transmission + few others).

There are some smaller glitches when running with 1 drive only but overall it is a pleasure to use.

Please note that the "apt-get" install for OMV (the only viable with B3) is not officially supported so there are some specific things that you really need to take care before installing.

I have taken some notes but need to find some time write a proper tutorial...find here my notes

Instal squeeze on B3 via USB (need to find the link to the how to, but is straighforward)

login as root/excito

Connect your lapton to b3 (192.168.10.1) with a cable to LAN
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

VERY IMPORTANT: add/amend local B3 name and IP in etc/host, this will allow the installation to finalize (otherwise blocked by collectd)

then

echo "deb http://packages.openmediavault.org/public kralizec main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openmediavault.list
apt-get update
# Note: You will get a warning that the PGP Key can't be found. Thats fine.

apt-get install openmediavault-keyring postfix

(when promted in postifx select no configuration
# Note: You will get a warning that the package 'openmediavault-keyring' can't be authenticated. You're fine to ignore that warning and install it anyways.

apt-get update
apt-get install openmediavault

choose UTF/guess character set
proftp to run as inetd

run omv-initsystem

CRITICAL:
- run omv-firstaid to change admin password (although doc says it is "openmediavault", the apt-get method doesn't set it but it uses the local admin pwd instead)
- enable ssh, disabled by default (very important)
- If you get an error about wrong json file, just to an rm of that file

reboot
- go to 192.168.10.1 and change interface address of LAN

done

Please do not change any partition/LVM or B3 will hang at boot.

I'll pick up this thread if anyone can help...

Did anyone try to install OMV6 to B3 (on fresh bullseye image from Mouette)? I installed bullseye with 16GB system partition, 512MB swap, for the rest I created ext4 partition. I tried to install OMV6 according to this guide: https://forum.openmediavault.org/index. ... -bullseye/ . The installation seems to go well until a certain point (Deploying service configuration...) then the ssh connection gets severed and I cannot log back into B3 at all. I'm lost at this point. I reinstalled bullseye several times now (the only way I figured to get back into B3) tried some different tweaks, but no luck so far (my ssh connection always drops on the same point).

Last few lines of installation procedure...

I just want to let you know that I successfully installed OMV5 on b3 buster 1.1 image. Works fine so far (at least the installation does not hang up in the middle...). Web UI works fine, little sluggish but nothing to write home about.
My b3 got into boot loop during OMV6 installation over the bullseye image. I briefly browsed the OMV forum, but couldn't find any resolution.

Posted: **27 May 2022, 17:22**

Short update.
I am able to install omv6 on b3 bullseye. Steps below.
1) Install bullseye image on b3
2) apt update && apt upgrade
3) fix /etc/hosts by adding line (without it one of the omv dependency package fails)

127.0.0.2 b3

4) Create /etc/default/openmediavault with modified watchdog variables (without in installation of omv package fails miserably)
https://forum.openmediavault.org/index. ... post298806
https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugi ... 1016001880

OMV_WATCHDOG_SYSTEMD_RUNTIMEWATCHDOGSEC="14"
OMV_WATCHDOG_DEFAULT_MODULE="bcm2835_wdt"
OMV_WATCHDOG_CONF_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT="14"

5) Create omv source files

echo "deb https://packages.openmediavault.org/public shaitan main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openmediavault.list

6) Install omv gpg key

apt-get install --yes gnupg
wget -O "/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/openmediavault-archive-keyring.asc" https://packages.openmediavault.org/public/archive.key
apt-key add "/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/openmediavault-archive-keyring.asc"

7) Install omv; remember not to use "noninteractive" on "autoapply" options, see next step

apt update && apt install openmediavault-keyring openmediavault

During openmediavault package installation you'll be asked what to do with conflicting changes (as the package tries to overwrite the file we created at step 4). The best solution is to open the shell (Z), edit the file, merge the content with new defaults, save, exit, and keep the local version (N option). I'll include the default options that I copied from Raspberry Pi forum.

OMV_DEBUG_EXTJS="NO"

That's it! Welcome to OMV6 on your B3. Web UI is responsive, and config update takes less than a minute.

Disclaimer - I currently am not able to add any shares (mainly that's the reason I'm shuffling with image/omh versions...) but I'm working on it.
