Hey there, thank you so much for
stopping by to hang out with me for a few
minutes today. And since I know a lot of people don't
care about my intros and why I'm making a
video, I'm going to try to have timestamps
available to skip to the meat of the
video if you want to do that.

But before you go and skip ahead, it's
important to know that this will be a
video series. We're not going to get all the way
through this configuration in a single
video, and I really feel like it'll be more
consumable and easier to follow.

If we break this into a few smaller
videos rather than a single really long
video. This video is sponsored by EWIN Racing
and their Flash XL-size upgraded
ergonomic gaming and office chair. This is a big chair that has all
of the creature comforts you would expect
from a quality

product. The Flash XL features Brissa
Ultra PU leather for its breathable
performance fabric and proprietary ventilation system to
keep you from getting all hot and sweaty
while you're doing everything from fracking bad guys in
your favorite game to scouring the
internet for your next

new thing to test out in your home lab.
It also comes with memory foam, headrest,
and lumbar pillows for maximum comfort. And the headrest is
magnetic so you can set it where you want
without those bothersome straps getting in the way and
complicating things. The armrests are
attached with magnets

for easy replacements if you ever need
to do that, and they're adjustable in
multiple directions so you can dial in the chair to get the
most out of your ergonomic setup. As the name implies, this is the XL and
it's meant for chair enthusiasts ranging
from 5'7 to 7' 

tall and supports up to 550 lbs. To fully dial in the comfort of the Flash XL, there are two different lumbar knobs that allow you to adjust the 4D lumbar support to fit your unique body shape.

The seat and the back are firm but not hard so you can sit for long periods of time without worrying about your butt and legs falling asleep while you're getting the support that your body needs. Be sure to check out the link in the video description to get more information and a discount

code to pick up an e-win racing chair for yourself and save some cash in the process. That said, let's talk about my relationship with Open Media Vault for a quick minute and then we'll get into installing Open Media Vault 7 and doing some basic configuration. So I actually started my

self-hosting journey using Open Media Vault 4 but that was short lived since I only had it up for a few days before I found out that Open Media Vault 4 was at end of life and then I switched to Open Media

Vault 5. And it was Open Media Vault 5 where I actually started making content on YouTube about Docker and in fact I've got around 200 videos on Docker that are actually built on top of Open Media Vault 5.

And I guess my point is that I really liked Open Media Vault 5 quite a bit and it has a bit of sentimental value to me because it's how I got into self-hosting. Then Open Media Vault 5 EOL and

Open Media Vault 6 came out. Honestly, honestly I hated Open Media Vault 6. The setup process was so different from Open Media Vault 5 and there were just things that didn't make sense to me. And one of my biggest frustrations with Open Media Vault 6 besides the initial setup was that

the dashboard setup configuration was stored in the browser storage. So anytime you logged into your Open Media Vault 6 from a different browser, the dashboard that you had setup was gone and you had to configure it into the new browser. I even went so far as to make a video where I complained

about Open Media Vault 6 and their setup process back in June of 2023 and showed people how to get through the setup process. So in this video I want to go through the setup process of Open Media Vault 7

and talk about some of the things I think they fixed or made better from Open Media Vault 6. So there are a few things that you're going to need in order to get Open Media Vault 7 set up. First you're going to need an Open Media Vault 7 ISO for the installation process. You're also going

to need some hardware and this could be a dedicated computer with a mouse and keyboard null of that or it could be a virtual machine. Now for the sake of this tutorial and this video series, I'm going to be doing this any virtual machine in Proxmox but you can do this however makes the

most sense to you. Also you're going to need some time and some patience and we'll cover why here in a little bit. So as I mentioned I'm going to be using a virtual machine for this in Proxmox

but I'm not going to get into hard drive
pass-throughs and that sort of thing as
it really is outside the scope of this particular video and
series. So to get started like I
mentioned we're going to need to download the OMV ISO from the Open
Media Vault website. So we'll go to Open
Media Vault.org and

then we'll click the download link at
the top of the page. There are a couple
of different options on that page for downloads but I would
just select the stable version and
probably not the old stable version. At this point you'll get
redirected to a third-party site and your
download

should automatically start. The time it
takes for the download to complete will
depend on a number of factors but after a moment or two you
should have an Open Media Vault ISO in
your downloads folder. Again as I mentioned I'm going to be
doing this in a virtual machine so I
don't necessarily need to

create bootable media for this but if
you're using a dedicated piece of
hardware you'll need to get a USB drive for the installation media
and I really think anything larger than a
4GB USB drive should be sufficient. Next you'll
need an app to set up the bootable media
with the USB

drive in the ISO that we downloaded. I
like to use Balena Etcher for this kind
of stuff but you can use whatever works for you. You'll just
plug the USB drive into your PC the one
that you're watching

this on likely if you're not using a
phone or a tablet and then you'll select
the ISO that you downloaded a moment ago and the USB
drive in the app and click Create. After
a few moments your USB drive should be ready to go. If you're
using dedicated hardware for this
installation you'll need to plug

the USB drive into a compatible slot on
your what will be your OMV server here in
a bit. You want to plug your USB stick into a compatible
USB drive and then power on the computer.
Then you're going to start tapping the key on your keyboard
that will get you into the computer's
BIOS or UEFI and

now each computer is going to be
different so be sure to figure out which
key it is before you start this step. You can probably find that
information online somewhere. Once you've
gotten into your BIOS or UEFI, you'll want to go to the boot
page and set the USB as the primary boot
device and then the

hard drive that's going to be your
installation drive as the second boot
option. Then you can just save an exit, and the PC should reboot
and then you should see the install
script kick up with a blue screen. Now at this point, we're going to
talk about setting up the virtual machine
so feel free to use

the timestamps to skip to the next
relevant step for you. Now if you want to
use a Proxmox or other hypervisor VM for this, we'll need to
make sure that we have the OMV ISO on
your hypervisor host system

and there are a couple of different ways
we can do this. Method 1 is just to
download the ISO from the website to your computer and
then upload it to your hypervisor, in
my case Proxmox, manually. The other option is to get the
OpenMediaVote ISO URL and put that into
again Proxmox to download it

directly. For me, that took a really long
time for some reason, so pick and choose
whichever method works best for you. Once you have the
ISO uploaded to your hypervisor, you can
now create the VM, and to do that we're going to click the
create VM button at the top right of the
page and the

a new screen that pops up will allow us to
choose the node we want to install our VM
on. I've just got the single node so I'm not going to
change that. The VM ID is automatically
set but you can change that

if you want or need to for your own
purposes whatever they happen to be. So
I'm also going to give the VM a name that's one thing you do have
to do on this page and I'm just going to
call it OMV7.

Now we can either click the blue next
button or we can click the OS tab across
the top. I'm just going to click the tabs across the top
of the screen to get to each of the next
sections. So now I'll select the OMV7 ISO image that we
added to our server and leave everything
else on the page

as it is and click system. I apologize
there's stuff going on at the facility
behind me here. Now there's nothing I really need to
change on the systems page but you can
make changes specific to your needs and then move on to the
disks tab. Now on the disks tab you'll
want to create a boot

drive and a storage drive to fit your
needs. With a VM though you can always go
back and adjust these later as long as you have enough
resources available on your host system.
The only other thing I change on here is the bus/device option
from SCSI to SATA and you might also
want to change the

cache settings but make sure you do some
research to find the best setting again
for your specific setup needs here. Once you have the
necessary drives created you can move on
to the CPU tab. You can set how many cores you want to use and
then move on to the memory tab and here
we'll set how much

memory you want our VM to have. Just
make sure that you leave enough resources
for your host system as well as any other systems you might
have installed on your hypervisor. On the
network tab I just like to leave this or set this to VMBRO
but you can change this if you have a
specific need for your

network setup. Next we'll click the
confirmed tab to review our settings and
then you can check the start after created checkbox but I've
had weird issues with that in the past so
I'm just going to leave that unchecked I'll click finish
and then I'll manually start it later.
Now we're going to look

for the OMB 7 VM or whatever you named
yours and click it then we're going to
click the console and then click start now. After a moment
you should see the OMB screen pop up. So
now that we're all

on the same page with our setup we can
click the install option and most of the
next few screens will just involve us clicking enter on
our keyboard so that we get the right
setting for our location that sort of thing. After a few of those
pages though you'll get to a screen where
you'll be asked to

pick a host name for your setup and by
default it's Open Media Vault but again
I'm going to switch this to OMB 7 Tut and click continue. Next
you will select the domain name local is
by default and that's

what I'm going to use but if you wanted
to, I guess, you could change that to
something else but this will allow us to access our Open Media
Vault dashboard once the install is
complete by going to the browser and typing in HTTP colon
forward slash forward slash OMB 7 Tut dot
local or we can use the

IP address that we'll find out later.
Next you'll be asked to enter your root
user password twice for confirmation purposes, then you'll
select your time zone. After that, you'll
select the disk that you want to use for your OpenMediaVault
installation. Make sure you select
the correct disk for your

setup and then hit enter on your
keyboard. This process will take a while
depending on your setup, so be patient. This is what I was talking
about earlier; this may actually take
several minutes again depending on your setup. The next steps
will be to configure the Debian archive
servers so that

you can do updates and that sort of
thing, and again this process will be
region-specific, so you'll likely want to choose the locations and
options that are nearest to you. Next, you
can configure a proxy if you need to for your connection. I've
literally never needed to do this, but if
you do need to, you

can do it right here. Then there'll be a
few more minutes of configuration setup
so again be patient as this might take a few minutes. After
that's complete, you'll be notified that
you can remove the boot medium and press enter on your
keyboard. If you're using dedicated
hardware, you can just

remove the USB. If you're using a VM
you'll want to go back to your hypervisor
and remove the ISO from the boot order. Once you've done
either of these steps, whichever is
specific to your setup, you can press enter on your keyboard. This
will cause the system to reboot, and then
you'll be brought

back to a terminal screen, and that
terminal has some important information
on it. Near the top you'll see the system's IP address, and below
that you'll see the default username and
password for OpenMediaVault. At this point, you can open a
browser on whatever machine you're
watching this on and go to

either the IP address that was on that
terminal screen a moment ago or you can
go to the host name and domain name that we set up earlier.
Again, I used OpenMeet or OMB7.local, so if
we went to either of those

it would take us to the same place. So
once the login screen for OpenMeetable
pops up in your browser, you can use the default login
credentials that were on our terminal
window just a moment ago. So now that we're logged in, I'm going to
close the default welcome screen and then
click the link

to go to the settings page that's used
to set up my homepage dashboard. From here
we can select which widgets we want or we can select them
all with a single click and then click
save. The page will then reload and we can see all of the
different widgets in action. Now what I
find nice about the

dashboard in OpenMeetable 7 over
OpenMeetable 6 is that these settings now
appear to be stored in the operating system configuration
rather than in browser storage like they
were in OpenMeetable 6. I can't tell you how happy it made me
when I realized that. So if we look to
the right of my screen

we can see that there appear to be an
update available, so let's go ahead and
click on that, and it actually looks like there are
several updates available. Now we can
scroll down through the page and look at all of those, but then
we can scroll back up to the top and
click the blue download

button at the top of the page. When the
updates are complete, you should see a
close button activate on that little pop-up window and the
scrolling virtual terminal window should
say something like end of line or as we see in this case, it
says connection lost. So go ahead and
click the close

button there and then the check mark and
the yellow bar at the top and then click
confirm it. Now if we click the reload button at the
top right we'll see that all of the
updates are complete. If they're not for you, you can just run
those updates again and kind of knock
those out as

required for your setup. So this part is
actually I think one of the most
important things you can do for this setup immediately and that's go
to the top of the page, recent little
person icon. Click that and then click change
password. This is for the admin user
account access to OpenMeetable

7. This will not change the root
password that we set up during the
installation process. Enter your new password in both text fields and
click save. So now the default login will
be admin and whatever password you just entered, it might
actually be a good idea to create a
completely different admin

user just to remove that from the
equation if somebody tries to hack your
system. Now going back up to the user icon at the top there's
an option for dark mode so let's click
that if you're so inclined and we can get our dark mode on
here. Now if we click the bell icon near
the top right of

the screen we'll see that there are some
updates that may require a reboot to take
effect. So let's go ahead and click the power
icon to the right of that and then click
confirm and the check box and then click yes. The system
at this point should reboot and our
newest updates should

be installed during that process. And I
think at this point we're going to wrap
up this video. Now while we haven't really done much
with regard to OpenMeetable itself, we've
actually accomplished quite a bit in this video
already and this video is already a bit
longer than I wanted

it to be. In the next video, we're going
to get into some additional user creation,
setting up our additional hard drive and getting
some folders set up, and then we'll look
at setting up some network shares as well, just in case you
just wanted to use this as a NAS. After
that, we'll take a

look at setting up OpenMediaVault extras,
Docker, and more. So I hope that you'll
join me in this video series. Of course, if there are any
specific requests that you have for this
series, please be sure to leave that in the comment section
down below. With that said, I want to
thank you guys again for

spending a few minutes of your day with
me today, and I'll talk to you in the next
video.
