  • An update on my home NAS / server:

    The Good:

    I have the PI 4 running Open Media Vault 5.

    It's in a purple anodised heatsink case.

    Connected via ethernet to the LAN.

    I have the powered USB hub. With the return power cable snipped.

    I have the two Toshiba 1Tb USB drives and another old 500Gb USB drive plugged into it.

    I have the transmission docker running via a VPN.

    I have a CUPS docker running, sharing my elderly printer with the household.

    I have a Minecraft server docker running, for the kids.

    All of the above works and works as fast as I would like it to.

    The bad:

    OMV 5 (for good reasons) does not support RAID for USB drives.

    I have not yet set up a merged file system across the drives, so I have two "media" drives totalling 1.5Tb and a 1Tb "files" drive.

    I need a backup solution for the files. Probably rSync to one of the Media drives.

    The Ugly:

    See photo. It's a mess.
