Thanks man, this is exactly what I needed. You have no idea how many useless videos I had to go through from other people before I found this hidden gem!
Why you run SSL cert on OMV if it's not valid? It gives you no protection at all, as you see you've got an error on login. And you keep open ports to the entire internet which is not safe. The best way is to do this is through VPN. But having an access to only administration panel is not enough, you should forward at least ftp ports as well to get access to your files.
But if you give a Tut as a tech guy you should still give the proper disclaimer that Is very insecure to use. Scripts are running all over the internet trying to scan for open ports. Espacially port 80.
I realize this is a year old.. but since people are still giving bad advice... just because a certificate is self-signed and the browser says it is insecure does not mean that you are not protected. Browsers mark certificates as invalid because the certificate authority is unable to authenticate the certificate belongs to the server. In this case, you are the authority because you generated the cert. Alternatively if you really need your browser to say its safe you can buy an expensive cert from a major CA, or you can use the free service letsencrypt to create one. The downside of a major CA cert is that they are expensive. The downside of letsencrypt is that they expire quickly so you need to setup a job to renew the cert frequently. But as I said, there really isn't anything terribly wrong with a self-signed cert as long as you know who created it. SSL/TLS connections using self-signed certs still protect your data with encryption so that as your data traverses the internet others are not able to access that data. I see absolutely no reason to allow both port 80 and port 443 to the internet in this case. As others have said, it is risky to expose any ports from your system to the internet, but if you are going to anyway then make sure those open services are transport-encrypted (ssh,ssl/tls,vpn) if you plan to authenticate over them. Allowing FTP is a bad idea. If you need access to your files in an FTP-esk manner then use SSH/SCP. Windows:winscp, Mac:cyberduck. As others have pointed out, the best way to implement remote access to your NAS is by configuring a well known and maintained VPN with multi-factor authentication.
hi ...very good video but have you made any progress on the crucial task of accessing remote shared folders ...if you could solve this ...you would recieve great praise as i cannot see it anywhere on the internet how to easily and freely do this with precise clear instructions - anyone ??
That was a good video.....thank you......How can i access my files stored on OMV NAS server form internet. I was using WD MyCloudEX2 Ultra before this. I could access my files even form internet, if I was not in my home network. Is this possible with OMV? I am planning to make a DIY OMV NAS server using Raspberry Pi 4(4GB variant).
Appreciate your how-to videos. Question - considering i've a running drive with EXT4 or NTFS with Data. can i simply add/mount and create share smb etc without formatting it with OMV ?
Can you make a new video using OMV6, i did everything on the vid, but it didn't work for me... i don't know, but on my router when port forwarding i cant use port 80 as external port, i only can use 80 as internal port, instead the router told me to use port 8080, i dont know if thats the problem, but I'm pretty sure port 8080 is also for like accessing a device from outside local network, please help!
Still not secured. You might as well just skip all the https stuff and just forward port 80 in your router to your NAS. If you're going to do this (which makes no sense to me)... at least securely set it up.
after I activate SSL, I cannot access the OMV GUI anymore. Why could it be? The only thing that I see that I did different is that I put port 8090 instead of 80, because port 80 is used by my nextcloud. Port 8090 is forwarded, and it works without SSl and in the local network. Also nextcloud is already working remotely.
Hi PcMac, I exactly follow your instructions but when I key-in my public IP to my mobile phone the out come is ERR_CONNECTION_TIME_OUT, kindly advise. thanks.
Another question, is it possible to open different webpages to the public?, like for example, the OMV control panel and transmission at the same time?, thanks for the great video
great video....I have two questions 1)But how to access shared files over internet? I could not make it out. 2)Which one is better for ovm (all1gb ram) (i) raspbery pi (ii) rock64 (iii) banana pi please answer
Thanks for watching, you need to install owncloud or nextcloud to access the files outside your network easily. For the SBC any board that have higher configuration is better then raspberry pi for omv.
@@PcMac24x7 sir please make a video on nextcloud. I wonder is raspberry pi enough for omv+torrent client +plex+nextcloud +print server plug in for home usage. Please reply
@@PcMac24x7 i know but the problem is its cost extra money to keep it static, i thouht maybe there is a solution for that, so i will not have to check the ip everytime...
You don't have to check the IP everyday, duckdns will automatically update the changes and resolve it to the web address. Check the website link from the description of the video.
It doesn't work mate. You can't access from anywhere... you was connected by wi-fi network therefore it works. With my mobile internet I don't have any access only from wi-fi...

How do you do that?

Hi, I have successfully completed this, now how do I access the NAS files from a windows PC?
Thats the thing, you can not. He is only forwarding the web ui page, not the smb or ftp port.
@@lennardberkhof cant you just portforward the smb or ftp port then? sorry im new at this
great video bro I was waiting for this thanks
Glad you liked it
@@PcMac24x7 Is that a static ip, you are using? I have tried with my dhcp connection by my isp. unable to connect.

You can add ext4 drive without format
Cool, but how can i Access to my shared folders ?
Working on it, thanks for watching
@@PcMac24x7 Hey there, is there any update about this project arrival? Because I think access to my shared folders is the most important thing.
@@PcMac24x7 Were you able to get it? Just let us know when a video is available.

Try changing the nextcloud port.
Thank's for the video. I got a question, why you have to forward port 80?
Because this is the default port used by OMV.

Are you using public IP? How to access from dynamic IP?
Use duckdns for that.
Super clear man!!!
Hola amigo muy bien explicado. Saludos desde Bs As
Thanks
THANK YOU, MAN!!!!!! I LOVE U!!!
Hi PcMac, I exactly follow your instructions but when I key-in my public IP to my mobile phone the out come is ERR_CONNECTION_TIME_OUT, kindly advise. thanks.
Please check with your ISP for port unblock
Nice instructions. I would like to know is there any way to access our documents in open media vault on an raspberry pi which is on another network?
Use nextcloud
@@PcMac24x7 thanks
Wouldn't you say that it is risky to directly open ports to the internet rather than through a VPN protocol?
exactly
hola muy buen aporte todo va de maravillas ,gracias master .saludos desde Buenos Aires.-
Thanks for watching 😊
Hi what additional step do I have to take if I want to use let's encrypt?
You need to install Let's Encrypt and configure it.
If I have the port 80 and 443 used for NVR how I can change or use different port?
Please watch my serives for openmediavault. I have showm the process of changing ports and everything.
Another question, is it possible to open different webpages to the public?, like for example, the OMV control panel and transmission at the same time?, thanks for the great video
Nice question, I never tried it. But you need to forward port for each application. Thanks for watching
Is this mail address detecaded to the server? Or do you have a website with domain?
I have the website.
will raspberry pi auto update the public ip everytime? or do we need to install any dynamic update client ?
It will update automatically, that's the work of dynamic dns. Thanks for watching.
Can you plz share how to use OMV like dropbox? Thanks
It's already available on the channel please look for nextcloud.
Can you please make a video on the latest couchpatato install?
And for ftp connection from anywere? You can help me and many other? Tanks
Thanks for watching, i will check this out.
what happens if i am on a dynamic public ip? Most Internet service providers change public ip on modem restart.
It will detect you router ip automatically. Thanks for watching.
Need a help? Whn i run command 'sudo apt-get update it's cant connected to the package
Got error to all the packages.
Wait for some time issue will resolved automatically.

I followed your steps and its not working
data search ?
dont do this its riskier instead do this via a vpn network and u dont ahve to worry about opening ports and shit
I was expecting to access the data on my shared folder from public network
Anyways English is a funny language
useless - we need to access the folders NOT the Web Gui !!!!
Terrible advice. You should never have a self signed certificate in production. Chrome is terrible too as it does not honor hsts.
