July 16, 20242 yr omv extension isn't automatically shipped with the build framework. You can grab it here: https://github.com/armbian/os/blob/main/userpatches/extensions/omv.sh
July 16, 20242 yr The instructions on above (under DIY) should be clearer to explain that. When I looked at this earlier, I was guessing that is what the instructions assumed you needed to do (download that referenced file). Edited the above instructions to clarify.
August 26, 20242 yr Downloaded the image Armbian_24.5.9_Rpi4b_bookworm_current_6.6.44-openhab.img, uploaded. Does not work. The page is http://192.168.1.105 not available.

The page is http://192.168.1.105 not available. It takes some time before OpenHab initialises. How long did you wait? Can you provide some logs?
August 26, 20242 yr I waited for 10 to 20 minutes. I'll try again soon. Can you tell me which logs to provide?
August 27, 20242 yr Author @AlexVS 1. Downloaded this image: https://dl.armbian.com/rpi4b/Bookworm_current_server-openhab 2. Executed 1st login, create username (probably must have), created locales ... 3. As you can see OpenHab installation activities: 4. http://10.0.40.156:8080/ (you failed to see OpenHab manual 5. Login prompt (2-3 minutes after startup)
August 27, 20242 yr It seems to me that I did not understand you. When I downloaded the image, I expected that OMV7 was preinstalled there. And after installing it, I hoped that OMV7 would be available for testing. I am sorry. Apparently this is a translation difficulty.

That is no image with preinstalled OMV but with preinstalled openhab. There is no image for ri4 with OMV preinstalled (as far as i see..). You have to build it by yorself. See DIY on post 1. Markus

August 30, 20242 yr Thank you very much. Installed the specified image. OMV has started. Now you can test it. Edited August 30, 20242 yr by AlexVS
September 16, 20242 yr This is great, thanks for this it's exactly what I wanted! Will this play nice with armbian-config eMMC install? I once tried after installing OMV on an sd card and the emmc transfer wouldn't boot (armbian-config's the only tool I've found to do an emmc install)
September 16, 20242 yr Author 2 hours ago, 0jay said: Will this play nice with armbian-config eMMC install? It should work - depends on the hardware - for the one we don't support, its unknown, for supported one we will try to fix in case of troubles. You can call armbian-install directly, so you don't install dependencies from armbian-config. There will soon be much lighter version of it, but current one is not very light.
September 19, 20242 yr Would any of these OMV images run on a 3328 Renegade? I can run the Libre portability script so figure I just need it to boot
September 19, 20242 yr If there is no pre-made OMV image you can create your own just like mentioned under DIY at the very first post of this topic. Also check the few posts after for copying the necessary extension if necessary.
September 19, 20242 yr 7 minutes ago, Werner said: you can create your own I intend getting to this in time (also with OpenWRT) but for the moment I'm not in a position to do it. If there's an image that'll boot on a renegade board then at least I can explore

September 20, 20242 yr 1 hour ago, Igor said: SD boot works, but then it fails to properly transfer it? Short summary of process to follow: I burn Armbian with Etcher, update etc and install OMV. From here I use armbian-install (or armbian-config) to transfer to the eMMC. This is the only tool I've found that makes the eMMC transfer simple (thank you!). The eMMC system boots and seems fine but OMV is not functional (though it works fine on the SD it was transferred from). As a result I always just transfer the raw Armbian install to eMMC, boot from there and install OMV direct to the eMMC but it would be very handy to be able to transfer from an SD with a working OMV install fully configured as backup.

October 9, 20242 yr Hi Igor, any developments with these pre-rolled images? Can I request a Renegade OMV image or will I need to wait for an LTS? Thanks for your time, Oscar

November 11, 20241 yr Hello and thanks for this great work! Today I tried installing `Armbian_24.8.4_Odroidxu4_bookworm_current_6.6.54-omv_minimal.img.xz` (SHA256 confirmed/writing verified/new sd cards) on some Odroid-HC1's. Problem is/was I can't access the devices, I see them only short (reacting to pings) and then vanish again from the network. It behaved the same for 2 different devices. Then I tried the latest normal/minimal image instead: `Armbian_24.8.1_Odroidxu4_bookworm_current_6.6.47_minimal.img.xz` and things work like normal (stays in the network, can access via ssh, ...) Thought maybe the latest omv spin got some error so I tried again with the former stable (same version as minimal atm) `Armbian_24.8.1_Odroidxu4_bookworm_current_6.6.44-omv_minimal.img.xz` but again no luck and when pinging the device seems to be online only less then a minute before vanishing from the network again. Attaching a classic (spinning/mechanical!) hard disk then gave some "sound" confirmation: The disks spins up around every minute - so most likely boot looping! Can anyone confirm that one of the latest two (24.8.4 or 24.8.1) actually works on a odroid-xu4/hc without boot loop? At the moment I use the Armbian 24.8.1 minimal image mention and install OMV the hard way following this guide: https://wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv7:armbian_bookworm_install I successfully used Armbian 24.8.1 minimal image mention and installed OMV the hard(er) way following this guide: https://wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv7:armbian_bookworm_install Edited November 11, 20241 yr by lurch

We can't test all assemblies manually (we have no other option) on all targets. Perhaps moving installer to run-time is better? https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian-Software/#adding-example We will eventually add this, but help is appreciated.
December 30, 20241 yr Hello people. Today i found the Armbian-OS for Odroid XU4 with OMV and I wanted to test it on my installation. Sadly i does not seem to work. The machine does not seems to be connected to my home network. So i cannot reach the OMV page from the webbrowser and i cannot SSH in to it. My Odroid XU4 setup is like thus: 1 Odroid XU4Q (the fanless one) 1 Cloudshell appliance in which the XU4Q is mounted 2 old 2TB WD green drives 1 EMMC on with the armbian os on it. I also have an USB to EMMC reader/writer. So i will connect a screen and a keyboard to the XU4 and take a look inside. If i could help with log files or tests please let me know i gladly help out when possible. greetings Tom
