Installing on a Raspberry Pi
As noted above, OMV actually works well on a Raspberry Pi, though we would recommend using a Raspberry Pi 4 with 2GB of memory or more. What’s more, it’s very easy to install since it runs on the official Raspberry Pi OS ( www.raspberrypi.org/software/),
which is also Debian-based. That means if you have Raspberry Pi OS installed on your SD Card, you don’t need to use a flash drive or any other trickery. You can just use the Debian package manager and you’re good to go.
Assuming you have Raspberry Pi OS installed (see the link above if you don’t), you just need to either connect a keyboard and monitor to your Pi; or you can secure shell (ssh) into it remotely by going to a command prompt (type cmd in the search bar in Windows 10) and typing ssh ip address where ip address is the local IP address of the Pi (eg. 192.168.0.10). You’ll need to log in.
Once you’re logged into the Raspberry Pi, type in the single command line: sudo wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/installScript/master/install | sudo bash
That’s quite the line, we know, but it will reach out, grab and install the OMV for you, along with all dependencies.
Once you’ve done that, you can access it through a web interface, just as you would the PC version.
