Open Media Vault on Raspberry Pi 4 (self.lemmyworld)

submitted 1 year ago by chimelder to c/lemmyworld

5 comments fedilink hide all child comments

After a week (maybe over 20 hours). I finally got Open Media Vault sharing a network drive to my Windows PC. It was totally worth it because it's great but in attempting to resolve I had to 'upgrade' to Windows 11... which didn't work. Reset my bios to defaults... This stopped windows booting altogether. Wipe my PC and install Windows 10 fresh which finally worked. I think it would work seemlessly for 90% of people who try it so don't let my horror story scare anyone off. Open Media Vault is great and well worth checking out of you want a relatively cheap highly customisable disk drive that's on your network and accessable from any device (except a worn out install of Windows). You can even install Plex on it which is my next project!

Did you mean to post this in one of the self-hosting communities?

[–] chimelder 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well it's not so much that I meant to, as I had a look and the appropriate areas to post seemed to be on servers other than lemmy.world. Maybe that doesn't matter but I just wanted to make sure to post so as I didn't feel I was only lurking and I was on my way out for dinner. Maybe you can clarify what would have been a better way to post? I'm using the Jerboa app if it makes any difference.

[email protected] is on lemmy.world (and according to the search I posted it's also the largest community of its kind) so that seems to be a more logical place for this post.

I'm an idiot. I thought selfhosted was referring to people who were looking for help or a place to talk about hosting their own Lemmy servers. I'm a recent blow in and haven't gotten to look around much. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Will we leave this here as a sign post for others? Funny that I spent the full week looking for info on all this stuff and it was literally right under my nose the whole time.

I'm not going to claim it hasn't been a major topic in the selfhosted community lately, but that's just because it's a new service people have just discovered and are interested in selfhosting. But the selfhosted community is for people hosting servers of all kinds themselves. Not just enthusiasts either -- on /r/selfhosted I've seen people hosting servers at their workplaces as well.

As to whether to leave the post, I'll leave that up to the moderators.
