OpenMediaVault


Last Update: 2024-03-03 14:27 UTC

OpenMediaVault is a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) solution based on Debian GNU/Linux. It contains services like SSH, (S)FTP, SMB/CIFS, DAAP media server, rsync, BitTorrent and many more. Thanks to a modular design it can be enhanced via plugins. OpenMediaVault is primarily designed to be used in home environments or small home offices, but is not limited to those scenarios. It is a simple and easy-to-use out-of-the-box solution that will allow everyone to install and administrate a Network-Attached Storage without deeper knowledge.

  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

 I've been using it for about 10 years, it's very good for home and office use.

I store photos, videos, documents and have convenient access to them via the Internet via a mobile phone.
I run any programs in Docker, host my websites, and also use an external VPN for access from the Internet.
For hardware I use a currently old ddr3 computer, a couple of hard drives and a third drive for an ssd system.
User-friendly interface and friendly to novice users.
During use there have been no unpleasant moments or equipment failures.
With each update, the system becomes more convenient and invaluable functionality is added (photoprism, filemanager, downloader yotube, torrent).

Very friendly community on the forum.

Without knowing it, I learned Linux.

 I like to use Linux as my NAS base OS. This is a great distro for that. Very stable (which is no surprise because it's based on stable Debian) and easy to manage via the WebUI. I almost never have to go into CLI. I've been using since version 4.0 with no issues and have always been able to upgrade to latest version.

I have fewer permissions issues with OpenMediaVault than other solutions; this is probably because I am more familiar with Linux than BSD. Supports many file systems including ZFS via the community plugin. I find mdadm more flexible when I need to expand my arrays. I also like that it supports MergerFS and SnapRAID when you don't need a true RAID pool and just want to toss a bunch of random disks together.

If you want a very stable NAS distro that is based on Linux, I highly recommend this distro.
