Deleting files to the recycle bin in openmediavault

[Dickydodah! 154]

I'm in the process of building a new server using openmediavault which is debian based. I would like to reproduce my Windows server as much as I can and so far I have everthing working in the same way on both, as in the processes are following the same logic.

However I have one last "nice to have" process to try to reproduce. In Windows when a file is deleted by Emby, either via the GUI or API it goes to the recycle bin. This is very useful if there is any accidental deletions. Is there any way this could be reproduced in openmediavault?

Hi, right this isn’t implemented in Linux yet, but it’s planned for future updates. Thanks.

@LukeI've asked on the OMV forum and it looks like I need to get Emby to access the library via a samba share to get it working as it is but that sounds like a lot of messing around. I don't think I will bother.

Is the implementation going to be something like an option to move to a folder of your choice when delete is used? If so a cleanup option on that folder would be great.

We would do a native implementation like we've done for windows and macOS.
