btw, someone installed docker? i’m going to (try) recompile the kernel due to missing module, hoping last source is updated enought
EDIT: i’ve restored after the 4.15.0+ brick putting the restore miniOS USB key, rebooted an it magically started with the 3.x kernel and i’ve restore the 4.15.0-rc6 files, unfortunately i think i still need a kernel more updated to have docker running on debian 10
Clean Debian install working perfect but you can not use apt-install.
apt-get update - working fine
apt-get upgrade - working fine
apt-get install mdadm - device hang for hours - force restart - device brick.
Recovery -WD-ICMP-BEACON- Clean debian.
apt-get update - working fine
apt-get upgrade - working fine
apt-get install samba - device hang for hours - force restart - device brick.
Just wondering if anyone can help. WD Cloud My home 4TB. Taken apart, Harddisk replaced with a seagate one. Partions are set up. Booting up with the reset button pressed works (first flashing, after this solid), installation is done (checking the harddisk connected to a computer gives 3 devices: usr, var, debian). Device is getting an IP. But: Cant open the OMV via Browser using the assigned IP address, cant SSH (port 22: Connection timed out). What am I doing wrong?
You will have better luck in the MyCloud home subforum. (The MyCloud and MyCloudHome are running entirely different firmware)
From your description, however, it doesn’t sound like the device is really talking on your network. Reboot router and drive. . . .double reverify the ip address. (it may be using an IP address different than the one you are assigning)
Thanks for posting this. I was able to successfully install OMV on my WDMyCloud Gen 1 and login to the console to create users and shares. But then I initiated a “reboot” from the web console and the drive is not joining the network since then. I see a yellow-ish light but no connections on my router. Is there a way to move forward still as I don’t want to open it up.
Try a “TFTP Boot” method.
I’ts a common problem with OMV - After install OMV from Debian - it’s install Network Manager and deletes default network settings, so network not started after boot.
Need fix it by editing /etc/network/interfaces
@eklovyam No suggestions or ideas. Years back I gave up trying to get OVM to run on a first gen single bay My Cloud after spending several hours trying to make a go of it and make it work. Went back to using the v4.x firmware. It appears some are more fortunate and able to get OVM to work on their device(s).
is there an update for OMV from WDMycloud 1gen? I currently have version 2.0.2 installed but it is quite old and the plugins and the omv.extras.org service do not work
I’m a little lost. I have a WDMycloud gen1 and would like to install OMV on it. As far as I understood I need to install CleanDebian first. I want to do this with the Autoinstall script. But how should the folder strucutre look like? Should I extract everything also for example “CleanDebian-Jessie.tgz”?
Ok I guess I really messed something up. My “mycloud” interface is now gone. I uploaded the files in a different folder (not public) and run the install script. But now I can not install samba or anything else. Who can support here?
EDIT (2022-01-01) It seems this build freezes when rebooting after the first setup. I’ve chosen to leave it up as someone here in the community may be able to diagnose the problem and provide some input.
Hello All - I’ve been a “lurker” here looking for info to keep my old MyCloud-Gen1 going. I learned quite a bit here but wasn’t happy with the results (Windows 11 not liking the old SMB version of OMV2, etc). That said, I’ve managed to bring the Debian/Jessie install up to date (as possible) and have OpenMediaVault 3.0.1 (Erasmus) installed. Details are as follows:
First Run: You need to unmount the data partition (sda4) via console and utilize the web-gui to mount it. This creates the proper mount point in the OMV settings. Once this is done edit ‘/etc/fstab’ and comment out the ‘sda4’ line.
SSH in as root - ‘umount /dev/sda4’
Log in to web-gui (admin / openmediavault)
Go to “Storage / File Systems” and mount /dev/sda4
Return to console and run - nano /etc/fstab
If OMV correctly mounted the data partition you should see some lines added at the end similar to this:
Hey @Fox_exe …i have opened my WDMyCloud and mounted it on a Linux VM…i can see the /etc/network /interfaces file …can you suggest what can i put there so the drive will get connected to my network when i plug the cable in?
