Background
By the end of 2009, Volker Theile was the only active developer of FreeNAS, a NAS operating system that Olivier Cochard-Labbé started developing from m0n0wall in 2005.[6][7][8] m0n0wall is a variation of the FreeBSD operating system, and Theile decided he wanted to rewrite FreeNAS for Linux. The project team had known for months that FreeNAS needed a major rewrite in order to support crucial features.[7] Since Cochard-Labbé preferred to stay with a FreeBSD-based system, he and Theile agreed that Theile would develop his Linux version under a different name;[6] that name was initially coreNAS, but within a matter of days Theile discarded it in favour of OpenMediaVault.[8]
Technical design
Theile chose Debian because the large number of programs in its package management system meant that he wouldn't have to spend time repackaging software himself.[9] OpenMediaVault makes a few changes to the Debian operating system. It provides a Web-based user interface for administration and customisation, and a plug-in API for implementing new features. One can install plug-ins through the Web interface.
Features
- Multi-language, Web-based graphical user interface[10]
- Protocols: CIFS (via Samba), FTP, NFS (versions 3 and 4), SSH, rsync, iSCSI, AFP and TFTP
- Software-RAID (levels 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, and 10, plus JBOD)
- Monitoring: Syslog, Watchdog, S.M.A.R.T., SNMP (v1, 2c, and 3) (read-only)
- Statistic reports via e-mail
- Statistic graphs for the CPU-workload, LAN transfer rates, hard disk usage and RAM allocation
- GPT/EFI partitioning >2 TByte possible
- File systems: ext2, ext3, ext4, Btrfs, XFS, JFS, NTFS, FAT32
- Quota
- User and group management
- Access controls via ACL
- Link aggregation bonding, Wake-on-LAN
- Plug-in system
Plug-ins
By default, OpenMediaVault comes with a limited set of plug-ins. These include:
- AirPlay – Stream music wirelessly to your iPod/iPad/iPhone/iTunes.
- ClamAV – Antivirus software[11]
- Diskstats – Complementary plugin to extend system statistics collection by adding I/O statistic graphs.
- Digital Audio Access Protocol (DAAP) – provides audio files in a local network (also for iTunes)
- FileBrowser – File managing interface.
- FTP – Provides a modular FTP/SFTP/FTPS server.
- Logical Volume Manager – enables the possibility to create and administrate dynamic partitions
- Network UPS Tools, to support the use of an uninterruptible power supply
- OneDrive – Synchronizing a shared folder with Microsoft OneDrive cloud storage.
- PhotoPrism – AI-powered app for browsing, organizing & sharing your photo collection.
- Podman – A tool for managing containers and images, volumes mounted into those containers, and pods made from groups of containers.
- S3 – MinIO based high-performance, S3 compatible object storage.
- ShareRootFs – Provides shared directories on root file system.
- SNMP
- TFTP
- USB Backup – Allows (automatic) backups to external USB hard disks
- WeTTY – Terminal access in browser over HTTP/HTTPS.
Third-party plug-ins
Additional plug-ins are available via additional package repositories. The majority of those Plug-ins are developed by a group called OpenMediaVault Plugin Developers.[12] The status of all Plug-ins can be viewed online.[13] In October 2014 there were around 30 plugins available. In June 2015 there were more than 70 stable plug-ins available.
Some of the software that is controllable via third-party plug-ins are:[14]
