issues running pihole, openmediavault, Plex and nextcloud on Pi 5
March 21, 2024, 07:28
Hello everyone,
I am trying to set up my Pi 5 to run:
1. pihole as dns server on my local network that works for all devices
2. omv as a nas that can be used by the other users AND by nextcloud as well as Plex
3. nextcloud to be reached from outside the local network too
4. plex that runs data stored on the nas
I am having troubles with making things work all together at the same time. I was able to successfully install each of them and run it, but I would lose connection to the nas. Any suggestions and maybe tutorials links are much appreciated.
Thanks in advance:)
you could do them all within docker containers
also to get it working from another network you probably want to set up pivpn
Thanks for your answer!
I didn’t find a docker image for omv on the pi 5. do you have any good sources?
On the other hand, I did not know hot to get the omv share through the docker container to pass it to Plex.
first just flash a boot device with raspberry pi os 64 bit
then install docker
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh && sudo sh get-docker.sh && docker versionand docker compose
sudo pip3 install docker-composeand update and reboot because that's always fun, probably isn't needed tbh but why not
sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade; sudo reboot now
It would be better to first check whether everything is available as a Docker container.
As 3li already wrote, OMV is probably not available as a Docker container. But you can work with Docker containers in OMV. So it would be better to install OMV as an OS.
This is exactly what I did and where I am stuck right now. And faced the problems:
1. did not know how to reach the nas-share on Plex
2. didn’t know how to give the pihole container directly an ip so I can enter it in my router settings, without adding the port
Thanks anyway:)
it then you can make a alpine image or similar and that will hold the OMV
oh nvm just read what OMV is
then most likely you can install OMV as your actual OS and docker on top of that although it isn't recommended
for 2 that doesn't matter it works the same
infact it's the setup I have rn
So build your own Docker image?
not really
that's out of my expertise and I didn't know OMV was an actual OS it's self, I thought it was an application
so you could open a alpine container and use OMV within it
but no I was wrong
I actually can consider other options. Like if you know some alternative to omv that would run on docker and would give me a share that can be reached and used by other containers would help as well!
In OMV's instructions, they work with ports, so the services should be accessible via the host IP+port or 127.0.0.1+port.
What is the
ip aoutput?
