Home NAS With OpenMediaVault and Raspberry Pi

hey guys how's it going la here and in this video I'm going to show you guys how to install open media vault on a Raspberry Pi 3 now I'm installing open media vault on the Raspberry Pi in order to create a NOS solution for my home environment open media vault is a distro linux that's geared towards creating a NOS which is a network attached storage device and I'll be using the Raspberry Pi because it is small has a small footprint it doesn't consume a lot of power and it's kind of nifty so we're gonna go ahead and get started but before we do there's a few things that you'll need in order to follow along of course you'll need a storage device I'm using a external hard drive about 4 terabytes in size you'll need to have open media vault an ISO of local media vault now you can get that by going to open media vault org and clicking on the download link here and clicking on the link that says images can be found here now since we're installing this on a Raspberry Pi you'll want to scroll down and find Raspberry Pi images and then click on the download latest version I already have the latest version here and so I'm gonna go ahead and continue so the next thing that we'll need is Rufus Rufus is an application that allows to create a bootable USB Drive or bootable devices now since the Raspberry Pi uses microSD cards we'll be able to create a bootable micro SD card using Rufus you can get Rufus by going to Rufus dot aka OIE or if you just simply Google Rufus it should be on the first page of the Google results now once you're on the roof his website if you scroll down to the Downloads area you'll see the roof is 2.18 portable download this version that I'm using it's quick painless there's not really much of the install needed you'll also need 7-zip you can get 7-zip by going to 7-zip org and downloading either the 64 bit or 32 bit version for Windows now since I have all three of those things I'm gonna go ahead and get started first off we want to go ahead and extract the image from this compressed file so quickest way to do that is to right-click on the compressed file hover over 7-zip and then click on extract here now it's going to go ahead and go through the process of extracting the file it shouldn't take too long but the file should be relatively large for it's for an ISO all right so as you can see here the file is about four gigs and so this is the image father will be using now the next step is to load our micro SD card in I have my micro sd card load it and I'm gonna go ahead and click on Rufus now this is your first time opening up Rufus you'll get a little pop-up asking for updates just gonna go ahead and click on yes and we have Rufus up and loaded so at this point what you want to do is you want to verify that the device that's loaded here is in fact your micro SD card you wouldn't want to load any other devices or mistakenly have any other devices here because once the process starts the drive is going to get wiped and erased so just make sure that the micro SD card here is loaded in the device section as far as partition scheme make sure that the MBR partition scheme for bios or UEFI is selected the file format will want to leave at default fat32 raspberry pi uses fat32 as its file system so let's not check any of the other ones and only use fat32 the cluster size we can leave a default the volume label you can leave that the same for this tutorial I'm going to go ahead and change it to open media vault for create a bootable disk we want to have that checked and for the free dos section we want to change this to DD image alright so now we're ready to load our image I'm gonna go ahead and click on this little CD icon and navigate to where my image is located and the image is loaded in it's ready to go so once you've double checked and verified the device is correct and everything else is checked go ahead and click on start now it's gonna let you know that you're about to wipe all the data on that micro SD card so go ahead and click on OK for me it's letting me know that there's multiple partitions that might let you know as well if you have a few partitions there but it's basically letting you know that everything on that drive will be erase if you're ok with that go ahead and click on OK all right so I was able to create the bootable Drive I'm gonna go ahead and click on close and I'm going to navigate to my computer and locate the drive so the drive here is G I'm gonna go ahead and right click on it and eject it so that it's properly ejected now from this point I'm gonna go ahead and load it onto my Raspberry Pi and continue with the tutorial all right so I have my Raspberry Pi 3 here on the back I have the SD card the micro SD card plugged in I yanked that out of my PC and went ahead and plugged it into the Raspberry Pi I have a connected via ethernet cable to my Cisco switch now the Raspberry Pi 3 comes with the Wi-Fi integration so you actually don't need to have an Ethernet cable however I'm just going to run with it for today but you it makes it a great candidate for a wireless storage solution I have a bluetooth adapter plugged in here for my keyboard and mouse and I also have the HDMI cable here plugged in for my monitor now the storage solution that I'm going to be going with is actually a Western Digital elements 4 terabyte portable hard disk drive so to give me a decent amount of storage space I'm gonna go ahead and plug that in and plug in the power adapter that's right over there and we can go ahead and continue with the rest of the video alright so I'm loading up the Raspberry Pi with the open media vault loading and as you can see it's going through its loading configuration all right and so this is essentially it as far as the things that you need to do on the Raspberry Pi cell once you have the micro SD card loaded into it it's going to go through its configuration it's going to briefly ask you for a username and password but basically it works on its own on the Raspberry Pi now the rest of the configuration as we'll continue will be done through the web interface so it lists that I have I P address 192 168 0 dot 168 keep that in mind because that's the IP address that we will be using to login to the web control panel all right so it seems like the services ran its course after the second reboot were left with this screen that asked us to log in now we don't necessarily have to log in here because again there is not much here to do other than to load it on to the Raspberry Pi it's letting us know that the default password for the web console is admin or excuse me the default username is admin and the password is open media vault so when we log into the web interface console we will use those credentials to continue on alright guys so we have a Raspberry Pi loaded with open media vault and it's sitting on the side here it's still running I'm on another computer and I'm going to go ahead and login to the web media console to do some configurations to set up a shared drive for my home network now if you remember during the configuration on our Raspberry Pi we were given an IP address we want to use that IP address to access the web console so I'm going to go ahead and type the IP address here and I'm going to hit enter so we're presented with the open media vault web interface I'm going to go ahead and select the language now the user name is going to be admin and the password is going to be open media vault all right so we're now at the homepage for our open media vault on this page here you have a few dashboard options you can add additional dashboards by clicking the Add button on the left side of the screen you'll see that we have wide variety of configuration options one of the first things that we'll want to do though is we'll want to check our physical disks so if understorey if you click on physical disks you'll see that there are disks attached to the open media vault to your raspberry pi now I have my 4 terabyte Western Digital attached here and this is what I'm going to be focused on now if you click on your device you'll see that you have the option to edit there's options here to adjust the power management as well as a few other options you can scan for additional devices if you've attached a device to your Raspberry Pi such as a another external hard drive if you click on scan it will make an attempt to discover that device well we want to click on those we want to click on wipe wife is going to erase any settings on the external drive it's going to essentially format it so that it can be recognized throughout open media vault so I'm gonna go ahead and click on wipe and it's gonna ask us if we want to if we want to really wipe our drive now keep in mind this process might take some time depending on the size of your media device it's gonna give us options for a secure or a quick wipe the secure wipe will take a bit longer equip what the quick wipe is going to take some time however it's not going to take as long as the secure wipe so I'm going to go ahead and click on quick and I'm going to let that load alright so now that that process is complete you want to create a file system for our hard drive so we're going to click on file systems located under storage and we're going to click on create we're gonna locate the device that we had just got through wiping and we're gonna label that device we're gonna label mine's WD and we're gonna leave the file system set to the default setting now this process also takes a bit of time so bear that in mind when you're going through this as soon as we click on OK we'll be giving a warning letting us know that it's going to format the drive and that this will also take as I said some time for it to go through the process once you're ok with that go ahead and click on yes you you alright guys so after the completion of the file system you'll see that the file system is here the next step is to mount it so if you click on the little if you click on the file system then you click on the mount button it's going to let you know that changes have been made and we're going to go ahead and click on apply and as you can see the status is now online and the mounted status says yes so now we want to scroll down and we want to change a few service settings here you'll first want to click on FTP and we want to enable FTP and save and apply we also want to enable SMB CIFS we're gonna click on enable and save and we're going to hit apply so we're going to go to SMB CIFS and we're going to click on shares and now we want to add the share folder that we just created so since I would like to create easy access folder I'm going to go ahead and click on guest allow I'm gonna leave the rest of the settings as their default settings and I'm going to click on save now we're gonna hit apply and yes and again you can always go back and click on your share folder setting click on edit and have access to additional settings for further modifications so now that we're done here I want to go ahead and map the share Drive that we just created we can do that by simply clicking on the file explorer icon here and I'm going to access my computer at this PC now there's an option here that'll allow me to map network drive I'm gonna go ahead and click on map network drive and we're just going to call it the Z drive right now so I want to go ahead and type in two backslashes just like the example that's shown here and we're gonna type in our server address which is 192 dot 168 0 dot 168 and we're going to type in the name of the share which I call it share so we're gonna hit finish and as you can see here we have a network location accessible called shared drive and if we double click and open this up we have access to a network share alright guys so this concludes the tutorial I hope you guys enjoyed it if you have any questions feel free to leave a comment and thank you for watching my video
