Raspberry PI NAS with OpenMediaVault

Another entry to the "Double the Memory Challenge"  OpenMediaVault is a wonderful web interface to create and manage a NAS (Network attached storage). Getting OpenMediaVault installed on Raspbian (armhf) requires a little bit of effort, as there is no official packages from OMV. Some users however, have ported the majority of the packages, and I'll share with you how to get them installed.

Package Sources

First, you need to elevate your priviledges:
sudo -i  Add package sources for OMV and armhf:

echo 'deb http://packages.omv-plugins.org fedaykin main' >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/omv-plugins-org-fedaykin.list
echo 'deb http://packages.omv-plugins.org fedaykin-armhf main' >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/omv-plugins-org-fedaykin-armhf.list
wget -O - http://packages.omv-plugins.org/apt/99omv-plugins-org > /etc/apt/preferences.d/99omv-plugins-org
wget -O - http://packages.omv-plugins.org/omv-plugins.pub|apt-key add -
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

Install OpenMediaVault

apt-get install openmediavault
**Note: You might get prompted for preconfiguration info. Unless you know better, use the defaults.

 

If you encounter an error when setting up tftpd-hpa package then you'll need to edit it's configuration file:
nano /etc/default/tftpd-hpa

 

Change TFTP_OPTIONS like this:
TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure --ipv4"

 

To resolve the tftpd-hpa package installation and cleanup the mess:
apt-get install openmediavault

 

 

OMV Houskeeping

You can change the webgui password with the omv-firstaid utility.
OMV seems to disable SSH when installing. If you want to re-enable SSH, that can be achieved through the raspi-config utility.  If you're going to be using NFS, then issue the following command, to start the service on boot:
update-rc.d rpcbind defaults

 

You can now reboot your RPi. When it comes back up, browse to it, and you should see the OMV login prompt!

    I followed this guide, installing the OpenMediaVault packages on top of Raspbian "wheezy" (2012-12-16)

     

     

    When trying to adjust settings with the omv-firstaid utility, I was getting an error along the lines of "function should not be abstract in /usr/share/php/openmediavault/module.inc on line 36"

     

    I fixed this by editing module.inc; commenting out line 36 ("//abstract public static function getName();" without quotes) and deleting the word "abstract" from line 31.  Now OMV seems to work properly, fingers crossed my mucking about hasn't broken anything image

     

    My suspicion is that this version of Raspbian uses an older version of php, that doesn't understand the 'abstract' label...?
