BAlGaInTl 280 Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 I think I'm going to totally redo my server this weekend. For years now I've been running OMV. Upgrading from version 2 to 3 and now 4. Never once have I started over from scratch. Now I'm running into some buggy issues after the last update. I've worked through most of them I think, but I'm finding more. I think it's time to burn it to the ground and rebuild. It's gone through three iterations of major hardware. I moved from Plex to Emby for media management... I've moved from OMV plugins (which aren't always updated) to a Docker setup which... although it has a learning curve is simpler to manage overall. That, and containers can be updated independent of OMV which sometimes becomes an issue. I'm going to kill my current software raid for a merger + snapraid for a more flexible setup. I just have to figure out how to temporarily transfer all of my media so I can move everything. I think I'll probably stick with OMV as the base, because I'm used to the headless interface. The only plugins that I really want to use are system ones (merger, snapraid, Docker, etc). I think most of the rest can be accomplished in containers. The goal is to start with that and get to a point that is at least as operable as what I have now. Then I want to add... VPN port forwarding letsencrypt with subdomains (right now I just have the OMV plugin which does a single cert) nginx container with a proper proxy to forward those subdomains to my various containers (can that be done in a container?) fail2ban to properly monitor all of it What else do you think I should be concerned with? Any other helpful hints or suggestions?
