OMV5 issues, can I install something else for temporary server administration?

Hi all you smart lads and lasses, My home server is currently running openmediavault 5 and the admin panel will not load anymore. I’m unable to run omv-repair or any of their similar commands, so I’ve been keeping it up-to-date with ash and apt.

There are lots of permission related items I’m not great at using CLI though. Could I install something like Yunohost on top to get a GUI admin panel back? I tried CasaOS which seemed to lack this type of functionality.

Looking for a band-aid for a busy few months until I can refresh my server and install Proxmox. Thanks for any suggestions!

Oh man I read that as OMVS and thought you were homelabbing an IBM mainframe.

You can use cockpit which is a lightweight server management software, uses extensions for increasing capabilities.

tomatobeard OP ,

I hadn’t heard of Cockpit in a couple years, but it looks like exactly what I need. Thanks for the recommendation!

virt-manager also works over the network, particularly if you just need something basic to keep you going. But you’d likely still need to use SSH/CLI for non-VM related management anyway.

Have you tried asking for help on the forum?

I cant help much but isnt OMV 5 old version? Im using OMV 6

tomatobeard OP ,

I searched the forum but didn’t post for help. It hasn’t been a huge deal honestly, but this week I ran into FTP and SMB problems and thought I should try something.

5 is the previous (and I think unsupported) version. I had big plans for software upgrades but life happened really hard and just kept happening.

How do you like OMV6?

rambos ,

I think I intalled it in January if Im not wrong. 0 problems so far, but I didnt touch it much after initial setup.
