How to Install OpenMediaVault on Fedora Server Latest

OpenMediaVault (OMV) is a free, open-source NAS operating system for server applications that is designed to run on Debian-based systems. However, it is still possible to install OMV on a Fedora Server if you follow these steps:

Prerequisites

  • Fedora Server Latest
  • Root access
  • An active Internet connection

Installation

Update the System

Before installing the OpenMediaVault, make sure that your server is fully updated with the latest patches and packages. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo dnf update

Add Repositories

OpenMediaVault requires some additional repositories to be added to your Fedora Server to function correctly. To add these repositories, execute the following commands:

sudo dnf install -y epel-release
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/fedora/docker-ce.repo
sudo dnf install -y https://packages.openmediavault.org/public/archive.key
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo

Install Docker

The OpenMediaVault package relies on Docker, and you'll need to install the Docker Engine to work correctly. To install Docker, use the following command:

sudo dnf install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

Install OpenMediaVault

Once Docker is installed, you can then install OpenMediaVault. To install OMV, execute the following command:

sudo dnf install openmediavault

Configure OpenMediaVault

After installing OpenMediaVault, the next step is to configure it. Run the following command to start the configuration tool:

sudo omv-initsystem

During the configuration process, you will need to specify a network interface, set the date and time, configure the network settings and create an administrator user account for OMV. Make sure you set a strong password for the administrator account.

Conclusion

Once you've completed these steps, you should have OpenMediaVault running on your Fedora Server. You can now start using OpenMediaVault to manage and serve your files and data from your server.
