Moving On..
Big Intro
After 18 years working for the TIU, I decide to move on to another position. Tomorrow, I begin a new chapter at Juniata College. One of the unforeseen challenges of the move was migrating 18 years worth of technology back to the TIU Office. During the COVID pandemic, I had an opportunity to build the "home lab." This weekend I was left with "net zero." Ah, to begin a new.
Storage
The first part of the rebuild - Storage. I am huge fanboy of FreeNAS (now TrueNAS) however, I have a tendency to amass older computer technology. Due to the vintage of equipment, a home lab. The lab brought into the limelight many tools and techniques ranging from streaming video to infrastructure solutions. At the heart of many of the projects, was the OpemMediaVault (OMV) Network Attached Storage (NAS).

The Deal
Downloaded the Raspbian Lite Version (i.e. CLI Only). Then followed the destructions at Pi My Life Up. Voila, back in business.
But wait there's more..
During the last installation, I used OMV in a hypervisor (maybe another post). During that build, not all the OMV plugins were available.
Hold the phone! There are OMV-Extra... WHAT!
- ClamAV
- Dockers
- iSCSI - tg module
- KVM
- Open VPN
- ZFS
More adventures to follow, stay tuned.
