As someone who's been in IT for 25 years as a systems administrator/engineer, I have no idea how you maintain enthusiasm to make videos about this stuff every week.
"I have no idea... maintain enthusiasm... make videos... every week" That is very simple, it's called editing. If you look there is hardly one clip that's longer than just a few seconds. It's all an act, a very annoying act too. This is my first video I have seen of this guy and he would be much more endurable if he didn't play pretend happy all the time. It's like he's on some funny powder.
I love how Chuck actually shows how to deal with the errors by actually including the errors in the final cut, not just editing them out and saying in the final cut "I got an error and I fixed it by doing XYZ". This is the most real tutorial around.
Except he literally didn't explain the nfs error. He just said to blast any data you have on the drive with no justification. Not what you should probably do at all 13:30. That wasn't the only time he didn't explain his errors so I'm not sure if you're being ironic.
Thank you for this amazing tutorial. Completed this project from start to finish in just a few hours with your guidance. I now have a NAS full of pictures of my dog. 10/10
I stumbled upon this video while searching for ways to build my own personal NAS. The step-by-step instructions in this video were easy to follow, and the end result was nothing short of amazing! I couldn't believe that I was able to build my very own Raspberry Pi NAS with just a few simple components. It's truly a game changer for anyone looking to store and access files remotely. Thank you so much for sharing this video, it's AWESOME!.
I built this with the metal case, power supply board and an internal SSD. This thing has been running flawlessly for the last 6 months. I SSH into it once a week and run updates. I stream both audio and video within my home network and even to my car remotely playing music. It will stream lossless audio and 4k HDR video with no issues. Scrubbing and skipping using fast forward can be a little slow and laggy at times, but the performance running on that little pi 4 is pretty amazing. Thanks for the guide, Chuck!

This tutorial is just amazing. I love that you show the errors you encounter and also how to solve them. Its so frustrating to follow a tutorial and encounter bunch of errors that doesnt occur in the video. Thanks for that
Using this video as a foundational baseline, I just completed setting up my Raspberry Pi 4 NAS using 4 x 8TB external 3.5" HDDs. I used OpenMediaVault (obviously) along with the MergerFS & SnapRaid plug-ins to achieve the RAID component. After all said and done, a little over 21TB of usable storage space on my new NAS. Thanks for a great and inspirational tutorial! The steps provided were perfect!
For anyone who's not aware, if he hasn't explained it in another video the && tells bash, run these 2 commands but check to make sure the 1st one completed successfully before running the 2nd one you could run it with just & and it would run the 2nd command without that check.
I love how you troubleshooted in the video. Many teachers will edit out the problems, but seeing the big long error and then finding a solution (re-format hd ) - that was great, and much mre down to earth.
Love it and i will try it. I've always wondered how to do this and watching other people's videos explaining things gets boring quick but yours make me feel excited to learn more stuff. Also I have already done a headless installation of the raspberry pi following your video. Thank you for everything.
Note: anyone currently following this how to video may have noticed that OMV has changed some of their interface and how to do things. Just wanted to say during the part where you add a shared folder, you need to apply changes after setting up your attached HDD then you can select the HDD when setting up the shared folder. Otherwise your attached HDD doesn’t show up as an option to chose from.

I really appreciate the amazing video, you are a great content creator and really help so many of us out especially those of us who are newer to the IT field. Keep doin what youre doin man!
Dear Mr. Chuck, Your channel is just too useful for our modern world. I'm a Linux Sysadmin and Network Administrator as well but never bothered to build an online presence or even do the social media thing... I valued my privacy and also the amount of work the socials meant was a mindful for me... I thank you deeply for the work put into these videos that helps from beginners to advanced users. I appreciate it. You're making a lot of people benefit from all over the world 🌎. Cheers!
This guy is really great. Aside from giving good explanations, he's pretty hilarious and makes learning easy and interesting. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks.
Excellent tutorial! Works perfectly. I was able to take a "brand new" (it's been in the box in a storage bin for a few years) Raspberry Pi B+, a Thermaltake BlacX Duet docking station, and two old Seagate hard drives (3TB each previously used in a now dead Synology NAS) and turn them into a new Raspberry Pi NAS. Amazingly, it's screaming fast even when moving 4GB video files wirelessly. This will seem counterintuitive but literally the "best" thing about this tutorial was watching Chuck actually show that he had an error during the initial provisioning. I ran into the same issue and was able to resolve it using Chuck's instructions. For anyone reading this, I'd suggest letting the Pi/Open Media Vault wipe and reformat the hard drives prior to mounting the shares (wiping and reformatting via MacOS Disk Utility didn't work for this application.....yes, Disk Utility wiped and reformatted the drives but Open Media Vault did it in the way it wanted that worked). Next up....Raspberry Pi Super Computer: ruclips.net/video/X9fSMGkjtug/видео.html Thanks @NetworkChuck
Could you do a tutorial on how to set up off-site/WAN access and rsync between RasPi NAS and home NAS? And maybe an owncloud setup while you’re at it :D Thanks again for a great video!
I don't know why but I got so hyped up at the start, even though I know that I won't be able to do this! Just goes to show how much this dude helps you engage in this stuff.
Thanks heaps for this video. Just completed the project (including the case, SSD and power management board), I could not be happier. It performs exactly as advertised. Bloody brilliant project!
MY MAN!!! Absolutely LOVE this video! Can't WAIT to dig into this project! You have no idea how critical your enthusiasm is to my motivation to keep learning. My wife keeps asking, "Why do we need that?" Each time she does I just send her links to your videos. 😆
Love your energy and honesty. Just setup plex on my pi-hole rp and mounted a share from my nas. So easy, fun and it's a great system. Learning heaps from you... mostly because you aim to develop my confidence as well as my knowledge. Thank you.
Really? The exuberant delivery, and constant positive regard isn't... obviously disingenuous. So many RUclipsrs come across like low energy infomercial hosts. I blame the children flooding the algorithm for rewarding this behaviour.
Thanks for the instructions, I've seen a ton of videos trying the same thing and even though I've done this in the past you explain the "why's" of what you are doing, which makes a novice better understand new software/devices.
Not really dude. this is mostly entertainment not an actual education and that's coming from a Cyber Sec Pro. I watch these things for fun not to actually learn something. I'm sure beginners will get some inspiration from the "taste" of the concepts being discussed.
By the way, I've been watching his channel when it was at 5k and it's because he's fun to watch not because I learned anything new. You can literally find every one of these tutorials online on various websites. He makes it entertaining but I guarantee you very few people are actually doing even a fraction of these lessons in practice.
I enjoy your videos. I struggled with this one for two reasons 1. could not locate the referenced links to copy and paste "below" but where?, and 2. could not see the full commands you were typing in the terminal because the talking head window obscured the right portion of the window. You are on screen a lot with great presence and energy, but is it necessary to have the bubble head covering up the terminal?
Absolutely brilliant video. Have been watching your channel and it has inspired me to go down the Pi/Docker/Hacking rabbit hole, it's really helped in my role as a senior engineer, keep up the amazing work!
Just did this! Worked great, enjoyed seeing someone else get errors for once! Just quick question why are none of the commands in rthe description like you said they would be?
Chuck, you just saved me over $300. I owned a Synology since 2010 and it is really slow and was thinking of buying another Synology or build one myself and then I ran into this cool video. You made my decision so easy, no to Synology and yes to Open Media Vault and I can save a bunch. Thanks.
@@gilstruyf8400 Thanks for checking on my build. I built the NAS and it is working, however, I do not like some of the implementation by the Open Media Vault folks. For instance, if I plug a USB drive that has some contents already, it does not recognize the contents, it wants me to format it and then create shared folder in it. Coming from Synology however, if you plug a USB drive in to a Synology NAS, it will immediately recognize the contents; if I want to format it, then I can do that and then create shared folder. But Synology will set you back $400 while OMV is way less than that. Besides, I am getting used to running UNIX commands and learning as I go along, so for me it is a plus.
@@MrWinston1337 I have checked youtube after writing this comment. There plugging a hardware raid controller looks like a valid solution with raspberry pi. You benefit from more efficient ram and cpu usage, additionally can hook up all disks with all sorts of interfaces.
@@realtravisblaine check the world of 3d print spaces... they'll have it, have it in the works, or your question will give inspiration and someone will get to it. OH you can also check your library to see if they have access to a 3d printer
Incredible i can’t say any word …. Wow good job man always watch ur videos and can’t stop watching… when i need something to learn and do it well u are the first one recommended ❤❤❤
Wowwww...just WOW! I love your energy man and the way you are explaining the concepts and breaking them down in a very simple way. You just earned a loyal fan 😉 Happy New Year 2022!
I built a RaspberryPi to remotely monitor a FM radio broadcast. The RaspberryPi served as a FM receiver (with antenna) and I can remotely email commands/transmitter diagnostics via email (with built-in email firewall access list). Saves a lot "windshield time".
Another great video, enjoyed this. I do have a small gripe with your webcam/face over the current command line - example @ 19:02 - I understand all the commands are listed for reference, but it would be nice to see them as you use them too, without them being obscured. A better position for these screen shots would be upper right corner.
at 6:00 his face cam is over the command do you think you could tell me what that command is because he said they are listed below but i do not see them anywere please help me
Got all excited about “and it syncs files back to my home” and then video ended! Great vid. Can you talk about your solution of this thing syncing to your home nas, I presume it’s VPN to your home? Thanks NC!
I’m thinking this could be great as an offsite backup of your files. You plug in the pi at your buddy’s house, it vpns into your home, say WireGuard, and syncs your files with rsync or syncthing. Would be cool to see a vid on this kind of setup and to make sure it’s all secure so that your buddy can’t just use the pi to hack your network.
OMV uses 6.0 only bullseye or less and new Pi OS is Wormwood. OMV 7 is not out yet supports wormwood. Down load legacy os and skip the upgrade and update sudo commands and all is good from there on. Other than this; this is a great tutorial as usual.
Hey chuck, great video. Question though: How do you go about using this in a car? How to power it and how do your kids connect to it? (to the plex server)
Sir, your video is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. You really are a professional. As the captain of the tiger claw said to me once I finished up destroying the Sibar: "Keep up the good work!"
Hey there, Chuck! It's so nice to have a creator like you make content like this. Pretty, pretty awesome, man! Liked the video and subscribed to your channel. Anyway, what open-source software do you recommend to use for syncing files between this Raspberry Pi NAS and a regular more powerful NAS? Cheers
Thanks a lot! Never did something like that before, but it worked out great. Just had some issues with my drive, but now everything is running and I love it.
This can be set up in a RAID config as well, which Open Media Vault makes almost too easy to enable. Once Pi prices come back down to MSRP levels I've got a project lined up at the library to build a DIY NAS, smart mirror, and some robotics with a group of school kids. It's going to rock!
100% FRICKEN AWESOME! I really like your videos! Also, I agree with using Bit/defender. Over the past decade, I used a different tool for protection each year and I gotta say, thus far, BitDefender has been my favorite. That's not to say that other tools are crap. It just happens to be my favorite. You videos are entertaining yet highly informative. Thanks for taking the time and making this stuff fun!
Done it lol. Real question is when you're going to guide us through CA Server, Kerberos, AD setup with an RPi to allow SSO and secure our internal web servers.
Great video. Two questions but they are related. You mentioned that the Pi NAS would travel with you. This implies that something is acting as a DHCP server and most likely a Wifi hotpot to hook it all together. When mobile the Pi-NAS would likely have a new IP address. How do you find it or is it hard coded when the Pi takes over the DHCP and Wifi services or are you addressing it by service name? I am ready to repurpose a Pi for this project but I need to know how this all ties together when outside you home network domain. Thanks again.
for those with the most recent imager (1.7.5) if you do not set your username to pi when configuring settings, make sure when doing the ssh pi@192.168.*.* command. change the "pi" to the username you changed it too. I spent 3 hours trying to figure out why my password didn't work. The line should read "ssh username@IP address (or hostname). your welcome future person who has the same issue as myself.
This Network Chuck guy is actually very intelligent and charismatic, but he keeps omitting valuable information between steps... I don't know how to feel about this.
@@caedicoes no problem, I was so confused why I couldn’t get in! Glad I was able to help you out! He made it so long ago I’m sure this wasn’t a feature so that must be why he didn’t cover it
I've had a few issues in the beginning because I didn't set up a static IP address initially (or at all) so after changing network configs my nas would change IP addresses. 😆 But I've been using the project from this tutorial for a long time now. It's been super useful. In the near future I'm going to figure out how to connect to it from outside of my home network so that I can access it from anywhere. As someone that has basically no networking experience and minimal knowledge, some of your videos have been very helpful.
Wow!! your video about pi-NAS edition is just insane! It's created so beautifully that all of the process seems like a sip of a coffee!! Just count on me for another sip of a coffee while I hit on that subscribe button just like that!! Good luck from India
I would like to see you build one with some sort of "hat" on the raspberry and have more then 3 or 4 of the 3.5 HDD. I think over coming these challenges is what more people would like. I've come to the conclusion that raid 0 makes the most sense with the raspberry limited 1 bus. Jeff Geerlings does multi hard drives but its with a raspberry compute.
Good call for enabling SSH while writing the micro SD! 👍 And good advice about the use of NFS. However, I have been using an Odroid HC2 for my NAS, as much as I love the Raspberry Pi it's not great for NAS due to the use of the shared USB channel. The Odroid HC2 is built just to work as NAS, and the SATA connector is native and gets maximum bandwidth. It's also very neat and compact. Thanks again for the video, I may give Plex another try, cheers
I have a quick question: if the hard drive I plug into the pi and mount to the file system has some stuff already loaded into it, will they get overwritten or will the drive get formatted?
I am running NTFS with 7tb of media on it. It mounted without issue. Of course I am not running any other Linux or mac based machines that need access to the drive, so NFS is not enabled, just SMB. Plex is happy. My windows PCs are happy. All of which makes me happy. Right now, I do not have internet in my rural home, but with this setup, I have may media access able. My primary plex server is at a location with fiber internet, so I can not watch anywhere! :)
Just followed through, slight differences in the latest and greatest interface and version on open media vault but easy enough to follow Chuck's Clicky clicky. every step worked out for me. Be sure to keep watching past 16:13, he has the password problem as well! its not just you, keep watching he helps you solve it! (I spent 20 minutes trying to self soothe this trouble shoot before realising Chuck had me covered there as well 😂. Thanks again! p.s My problem now is: how do I get files already on the hard drive to show up in the share folder, did we make another partition when we mounted the shared folder in OMW? Any idea how I could move 1.5 TB preloaded movies and films across to this part of the drive now? 😒.
self soothed for anyone who has this problem, shut down pi sensibly (make sure you set static ip for it before doing so in router DHCP settings). unplug hard drive, plug back into computer, move everything you want into your new directory called "nasty" we made following Lord Chuckington, plug back in and boot the pi as normal.
Thank you for the cool video! Out of all the others that were out there floating on RUclips, yours help me finally make my shares :) and get me up and running.
Again, I love these incredibly informative videos but would love to see your builds in action outside your home. How do you access your NAS from other networks? I have Plex and run a server but it is part of my main PC and runs into issues, I would love to build a PiNas and have full access from anywhere in the world.
Once you are accessing the pi media server from remote locations and streaming from remote locations, that is where the Pi will find issues. This setup will work fine for an internal home network, but transcoding media to run over the web to another viewing source is where the processing of the Pi cannot keep up. Otherwise, this is still an awesome build and has the specs that about any other small network NAS would.
@@Famousfifty8 Ahhh that was the main reason I wanted a NAS, I current have two 12TB hard drives for Films and TV Shows, a 10TB for 4K and 3D Films and a 8TB for Other Videos... But accessing outside the home is important if the Pi can't handle that I guess i will hold off
Thanks a lot for this video. I wanted some middle ground between a router attached storage and dedicated Nas. Really helpful and explained in very logical way. I'll try it once I have the hardware.
I make huge profits on my investment since i started trading with a professional broker Mrs Silvia Morgan, her trading strategy are top notch coupled with the little commission she charges on her trade. Thanks so much ma'am♥.
Thank you for the level-headed financial advice. I started my investment with $4,500 in just a week of trading with her I’ve gotten profits of $12,750 in my portfolio. Thank you Ma'am
Update! After some help from the wonderful people in the comments and some research online I was finally able to SSH back into my R-Pi via CMD from Windows. I had to login via web browser to Open Media Vault. Went ahead and changed my password and update some credentials. Then went into user settings and added SSH as an option for my account. It is not automatically set. Thank you for this well-done video and thanks to those responding in the comments! Since this video as posted OMV has changed some of their ways and interface it seems. But nothing that can't be figured out with a little patience and digging.
Made this and it was a super fun project and extremely useful. Canceled spotify and just stream my own stuff now. Slowly adding in my favorite movies and TV shows too

I'm a Linux Sysadmin and Network Administrator as well but never bothered to build an online presence or even do the social media thing... I valued my privacy and also the amount of work the socials meant was a mindful for me...
I thank you deeply for the work put into these videos that helps from beginners to advanced users.
I appreciate it. You're making a lot of people benefit from all over the world 🌎.
Cheers!
This guy is really great. Aside from giving good explanations, he's pretty hilarious and makes learning easy and interesting. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks.
Excellent tutorial! Works perfectly. I was able to take a "brand new" (it's been in the box in a storage bin for a few years) Raspberry Pi B+, a Thermaltake BlacX Duet docking station, and two old Seagate hard drives (3TB each previously used in a now dead Synology NAS) and turn them into a new Raspberry Pi NAS. Amazingly, it's screaming fast even when moving 4GB video files wirelessly. This will seem counterintuitive but literally the "best" thing about this tutorial was watching Chuck actually show that he had an error during the initial provisioning. I ran into the same issue and was able to resolve it using Chuck's instructions. For anyone reading this, I'd suggest letting the Pi/Open Media Vault wipe and reformat the hard drives prior to mounting the shares (wiping and reformatting via MacOS Disk Utility didn't work for this application.....yes, Disk Utility wiped and reformatted the drives but Open Media Vault did it in the way it wanted that worked). Next up....Raspberry Pi Super Computer:

Thanks @NetworkChuck
You are probably the easiest RUclipsr to watch due to the enthusiasm. Thanks for all the great content.
Could you do a tutorial on how to set up off-site/WAN access and rsync between RasPi NAS and home NAS? And maybe an owncloud setup while you’re at it :D
Thanks again for a great video!
Why owncloud? Nextcloud is Kind of state of the Art rn
I laughed because of that "General Settings" joke more than I should have.
I think you laughed a reasonable amount.
A little How I Met Your Mother reference?
@@bjradekYT didn't know of the HIMYM reference, but this makes it even better.
I did too.. lmao
I don't know why but I got so hyped up at the start, even though I know that I won't be able to do this!
Just goes to show how much this dude helps you engage in this stuff.
Thanks heaps for this video. Just completed the project (including the case, SSD and power management board), I could not be happier. It performs exactly as advertised. Bloody brilliant project!
MY MAN!!! Absolutely LOVE this video! Can't WAIT to dig into this project! You have no idea how critical your enthusiasm is to my motivation to keep learning. My wife keeps asking, "Why do we need that?" Each time she does I just send her links to your videos. 😆
This was a pretty fun project getting mine up on a cluster with nvme drives. Thank goodness for all the people who worked hard so I didn't have to!
Love your energy and honesty. Just setup plex on my pi-hole rp and mounted a share from my nas. So easy, fun and it's a great system. Learning heaps from you... mostly because you aim to develop my confidence as well as my knowledge. Thank you.
Am looking forward to moving plex from my desktop over to a pi.
Really? The exuberant delivery, and constant positive regard isn't... obviously disingenuous. So many RUclipsrs come across like low energy infomercial hosts. I blame the children flooding the algorithm for rewarding this behaviour.
I use a RPI4 OMV as my home NAS and is super stable, I also have some services runing inside docker containers.
Amazing video as always Chuck.
Good to know it’s long term stability. Thank you 😊
can you also run in docker home assistant?
@@alfadex50 yeah, Just make sure that you use the correct docker image
Hi, hiw about backups? Or even a Raid system… i as wondering if is possible. Regards
@@eakerz5642 all those to one RPI 4?? Can you show me where to start?? I need it right now! loll
Not only the tutorial is super useful, but the way you present it is waaaayyy too entertaining man.
Instant sub from me, thank you.
Coffee Break!!!😂 longer coffee break!!!😂 love it! Just subscribed. Love your energy dude. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks for the instructions, I've seen a ton of videos trying the same thing and even though I've done this in the past you explain the "why's" of what you are doing, which makes a novice better understand new software/devices.
Network Chuck always gets better and better and i hope he will be succsesful in the future, Good luck
Not really dude. this is mostly entertainment not an actual education and that's coming from a Cyber Sec Pro. I watch these things for fun not to actually learn something. I'm sure beginners will get some inspiration from the "taste" of the concepts being discussed.
By the way, I've been watching his channel when it was at 5k and it's because he's fun to watch not because I learned anything new. You can literally find every one of these tutorials online on various websites. He makes it entertaining but I guarantee you very few people are actually doing even a fraction of these lessons in practice.
@@JonGarrett001 he teaches new things he learned
@@JonGarrett001 there's one in every crowd!
Guess what it's already the future, he has 1.5 million subscribers so it's a full time job.
I enjoy your videos. I struggled with this one for two reasons 1. could not locate the referenced links to copy and paste "below" but where?, and 2. could not see the full commands you were typing in the terminal because the talking head window obscured the right portion of the window. You are on screen a lot with great presence and energy, but is it necessary to have the bubble head covering up the terminal?
Love this. Getting a pi5 for xmas. I must be the only 58 year old whos hoping to be on the good list. Well done mate I love all your uploads.
Absolutely brilliant video. Have been watching your channel and it has inspired me to go down the Pi/Docker/Hacking rabbit hole, it's really helped in my role as a senior engineer, keep up the amazing work!
Just did this! Worked great, enjoyed seeing someone else get errors for once! Just quick question why are none of the commands in rthe description like you said they would be?
Chuck, you just saved me over $300. I owned a Synology since 2010 and it is really slow and was thinking of buying another Synology or build one myself and then I ran into this cool video. You made my decision so easy, no to Synology and yes to Open Media Vault and I can save a bunch. Thanks.
How's the NAS doing after 2 months? Still the same opinion?
@@gilstruyf8400 Thanks for checking on my build. I built the NAS and it is working, however, I do not like some of the implementation by the Open Media Vault folks. For instance, if I plug a USB drive that has some contents already, it does not recognize the contents, it wants me to format it and then create shared folder in it. Coming from Synology however, if you plug a USB drive in to a Synology NAS, it will immediately recognize the contents; if I want to format it, then I can do that and then create shared folder. But Synology will set you back $400 while OMV is way less than that. Besides, I am getting used to running UNIX commands and learning as I go along, so for me it is a plus.
Time for another, check up :-)
if you could have raid this would be a really good solution. I can't think of a NAS without having a raid setup.
You can. OMV supports raid including SnapRaid which works over usb and can use different sized disks.
@@MrWinston1337 I have checked youtube after writing this comment. There plugging a hardware raid controller looks like a valid solution with raspberry pi. You benefit from more efficient ram and cpu usage, additionally can hook up all disks with all sorts of interfaces.
@@MrWinston1337 but the question is, can we find a nice case that will hole 2x 2.5" SSDs?
@@realtravisblaine check the world of 3d print spaces... they'll have it, have it in the works, or your question will give inspiration and someone will get to it.
OH you can also check your library to see if they have access to a 3d printer
@@AtlantaTerry both, for your convenience =)
I really like your enthusiasm. It makes a subject that could be a little dry into something fun.
Incredible i can’t say any word …. Wow good job man always watch ur videos and can’t stop watching… when i need something to learn and do it well u are the first one recommended ❤❤❤
Wowwww...just WOW! I love your energy man and the way you are explaining the concepts and breaking them down in a very simple way. You just earned a loyal fan 😉
Happy New Year 2022!
Im glad I found this channel, very well produced and very informative, well done sir.
Can't wait for the next one where you would show how to transfer between the Pi and the Big Nas
Yes please… I need this…
Me too!
I built a RaspberryPi to remotely monitor a FM radio broadcast. The RaspberryPi served as a FM receiver (with antenna) and I can remotely email commands/transmitter diagnostics via email (with built-in email firewall access list). Saves a lot "windshield time".
Hey, from a non tech guy thank you so much for your amazing walkthrough - now up and running
Another great video, enjoyed this. I do have a small gripe with your webcam/face over the current command line - example @ 19:02 - I understand all the commands are listed for reference, but it would be nice to see them as you use them too, without them being obscured. A better position for these screen shots would be upper right corner.
at 6:00 his face cam is over the command do you think you could tell me what that command is because he said they are listed below but i do not see them anywere please help me
@@villocity5794 fax i need that command too. u ever get it?
@@ExecuteStyxzy nah i just had to look it up on my raspberry pi itself and the nas didn't work any way :{
Sudo apt-key add
@@villocity5794 pretty late i know but check his links for his website, it is all explained there.
Hey can you tell me where is all your command you copy and paste ? Thanks :)
Got all excited about “and it syncs files back to my home” and then video ended! Great vid. Can you talk about your solution of this thing syncing to your home nas, I presume it’s VPN to your home? Thanks NC!
I was the same, I'd love to see how it syncs back and also how to access it while out and about
Probably using r-sync. I saw that option in the menu. Do some research on that.
@@dhrandy good spot! Thanks
I’m thinking this could be great as an offsite backup of your files. You plug in the pi at your buddy’s house, it vpns into your home, say WireGuard, and syncs your files with rsync or syncthing. Would be cool to see a vid on this kind of setup and to make sure it’s all secure so that your buddy can’t just use the pi to hack your network.
Thanks! I love your *coffee break..................* excellent, informative videos!
men i love this enthusiasm in your videos
OMV uses 6.0 only bullseye or less and new Pi OS is Wormwood. OMV 7 is not out yet supports wormwood. Down load legacy os and skip the upgrade and update sudo commands and all is good from there on. Other than this; this is a great tutorial as usual.
Does anyone know where the commands are in the description because I am not sure what the command is to install openmediavault?
Hey chuck, great video. Question though: How do you go about using this in a car? How to power it and how do your kids connect to it? (to the plex server)
I LOVE how-tos that get/show/solve the sorts of errors we newbs run into (other vids act as though it never happens to them- lol). xx from AU!
Sir, your video is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. You really are a professional. As the captain of the tiger claw said to me once I finished up destroying the Sibar: "Keep up the good work!"
Hey there, Chuck! It's so nice to have a creator like you make content like this. Pretty, pretty awesome, man! Liked the video and subscribed to your channel.
Anyway, what open-source software do you recommend to use for syncing files between this Raspberry Pi NAS and a regular more powerful NAS?
Cheers
Not seeing the install commands in description :( your face overlay in the corner is blocking seeing the full commands too.
you can see the commands in the comments
where are the commands????????????
\
Thanks a lot! Never did something like that before, but it worked out great. Just had some issues with my drive, but now everything is running and I love it.
@NetworkChuck I would like to thank you for making this awesome video. I've just finished making my own PiNAS and it's fantastic.
For those who get their ssh connection refused. Create an empty text file named ssh in the sd card and try again it will work.
This can be set up in a RAID config as well, which Open Media Vault makes almost too easy to enable. Once Pi prices come back down to MSRP levels I've got a project lined up at the library to build a DIY NAS, smart mirror, and some robotics with a group of school kids. It's going to rock!
How do i Use raid with it?
Thanks, Chuck. Your video is amazing! Where could I find the link to all the commands you used in this video?
Thank you for this video. It’s such a good way to learn and I love your attitude. This video is always a go back to.
Great video, nice and easy to follow along and understand, but am I being really stupid here, as I can seem to find the commands to copy and paste???
100% FRICKEN AWESOME! I really like your videos! Also, I agree with using Bit/defender. Over the past decade, I used a different tool for protection each year and I gotta say, thus far, BitDefender has been my favorite. That's not to say that other tools are crap. It just happens to be my favorite. You videos are entertaining yet highly informative. Thanks for taking the time and making this stuff fun!
I don’t mind ad but what’s it got to do with the Raspberry Pi NAS? Hes showing Windows. Confusing for noobs.
Possibly daft question but can you/should you put Bit defender or similar on the Pi?
Done it lol.
Real question is when you're going to guide us through CA Server, Kerberos, AD setup with an RPi to allow SSO and secure our internal web servers.
so where are all the commands to easily copy?
Thank you so much! Following your every steps, it has worked perfectly for me!! :)
'Ill have all these commands below if you want to follow along' (Oh yeh, where)
Great video. Two questions but they are related. You mentioned that the Pi NAS would travel with you. This implies that something is acting as a DHCP server and most likely a Wifi hotpot to hook it all together. When mobile the Pi-NAS would likely have a new IP address. How do you find it or is it hard coded when the Pi takes over the DHCP and Wifi services or are you addressing it by service name? I am ready to repurpose a Pi for this project but I need to know how this all ties together when outside you home network domain. Thanks again.
for those with the most recent imager (1.7.5) if you do not set your username to pi when configuring settings, make sure when doing the ssh pi@192.168.*.* command. change the "pi" to the username you changed it too. I spent 3 hours trying to figure out why my password didn't work. The line should read "ssh username@IP address (or hostname). your welcome future person who has the same issue as myself.
You've saved hours of my life. Thank you
This Network Chuck guy is actually very intelligent and charismatic, but he keeps omitting valuable information between steps... I don't know how to feel about this.
@@caedicoes no problem, I was so confused why I couldn’t get in! Glad I was able to help you out! He made it so long ago I’m sure this wasn’t a feature so that must be why he didn’t cover it
I've had a few issues in the beginning because I didn't set up a static IP address initially (or at all) so after changing network configs my nas would change IP addresses. 😆 But I've been using the project from this tutorial for a long time now. It's been super useful. In the near future I'm going to figure out how to connect to it from outside of my home network so that I can access it from anywhere. As someone that has basically no networking experience and minimal knowledge, some of your videos have been very helpful.
Wow!! your video about pi-NAS edition is just insane! It's created so beautifully that all of the process seems like a sip of a coffee!! Just count on me for another sip of a coffee while I hit on that subscribe button just like that!! Good luck from India
I would like to see you build one with some sort of "hat" on the raspberry and have more then 3 or 4 of the 3.5 HDD. I think over coming these challenges is what more people would like. I've come to the conclusion that raid 0 makes the most sense with the raspberry limited 1 bus. Jeff Geerlings does multi hard drives but its with a raspberry compute.
Good call for enabling SSH while writing the micro SD! 👍
And good advice about the use of NFS.
However, I have been using an Odroid HC2 for my NAS, as much as I love the Raspberry Pi it's not great for NAS due to the use of the shared USB channel. The Odroid HC2 is built just to work as NAS, and the SATA connector is native and gets maximum bandwidth.
It's also very neat and compact.
Thanks again for the video, I may give Plex another try, cheers
thanks for the tip. never heard of odroid.
How to solve this error
ssh_exchange_identification: read : connection reset
Pls help me with this 🥴
I have a quick question: if the hard drive I plug into the pi and mount to the file system has some stuff already loaded into it, will they get overwritten or will the drive get formatted?
If the file system is ext4 it should work. If it is any other file system YMMV.
@@realtravisblaine The NFS needs ext4 like he had to reformat, otherwise yet it will work
I am running NTFS with 7tb of media on it. It mounted without issue. Of course I am not running any other Linux or mac based machines that need access to the drive, so NFS is not enabled, just SMB. Plex is happy. My windows PCs are happy. All of which makes me happy. Right now, I do not have internet in my rural home, but with this setup, I have may media access able. My primary plex server is at a location with fiber internet, so I can not watch anywhere! :)
What a great video. Clear, simply, and quality is insane. Thank you for sharing!
Good video. I really like that you don't cut the errors you run into.
Why do I need to login to your site to view the commands you said were pasted below?
I mean, he sells anti-virus, wut u expect?
Just followed through, slight differences in the latest and greatest interface and version on open media vault but easy enough to follow Chuck's Clicky clicky. every step worked out for me. Be sure to keep watching past 16:13, he has the password problem as well! its not just you, keep watching he helps you solve it! (I spent 20 minutes trying to self soothe this trouble shoot before realising Chuck had me covered there as well 😂. Thanks again!
p.s My problem now is: how do I get files already on the hard drive to show up in the share folder, did we make another partition when we mounted the shared folder in OMW? Any idea how I could move 1.5 TB preloaded movies and films across to this part of the drive now? 😒.
self soothed for anyone who has this problem, shut down pi sensibly (make sure you set static ip for it before doing so in router DHCP settings). unplug hard drive, plug back into computer, move everything you want into your new directory called "nasty" we made following Lord Chuckington, plug back in and boot the pi as normal.
I don't see the commands to copy/paste. Am I just missing them?
Thank you for the cool video! Out of all the others that were out there floating on RUclips, yours help me finally make my shares :) and get me up and running.
Your energy is honestly invigorating
Ironic I've been thinking of doing just this for some time now, just wasn't too sure how to do it.
Again, I love these incredibly informative videos but would love to see your builds in action outside your home. How do you access your NAS from other networks? I have Plex and run a server but it is part of my main PC and runs into issues, I would love to build a PiNas and have full access from anywhere in the world.
Once you are accessing the pi media server from remote locations and streaming from remote locations, that is where the Pi will find issues. This setup will work fine for an internal home network, but transcoding media to run over the web to another viewing source is where the processing of the Pi cannot keep up. Otherwise, this is still an awesome build and has the specs that about any other small network NAS would.
@@Famousfifty8 Ahhh that was the main reason I wanted a NAS, I current have two 12TB hard drives for Films and TV Shows, a 10TB for 4K and 3D Films and a 8TB for Other Videos...
But accessing outside the home is important if the Pi can't handle that I guess i will hold off
@@Famousfifty8 thanks for the information/your knowledge. .... But how does he use it "outside" as he described in the beginning?
Hi Keith, great video. It would be good to do a follow-up video as the interface has changed. ;)
Thanks I had to redo the whole set up and it worked thank you for your reply.
Thanks a lot for this video. I wanted some middle ground between a router attached storage and dedicated Nas. Really helpful and explained in very logical way. I'll try it once I have the hardware.
I make huge profits on my investment since i started trading with a professional broker Mrs Silvia Morgan, her trading strategy are top notch coupled with the little commission she charges on her trade. Thanks so much ma'am♥.
I started this with just a thousand bucks. my portfolio is worth much more now within just weeks of trading with her thanks Mrs Silvia
Thank you for the level-headed financial advice. I started my investment with $4,500 in just a week of trading with her I’ve gotten profits of $12,750 in my portfolio. Thank you Ma'am
Surprise to see others who trade with Mrs Silvia Morgan, i am currently on my 5th trade with her and my portfolio has grown tremendously.
Wow! Pretty good please how can i reach this Mrs Silvia everybody is talking about? I want to invest i'm in Belgium
REACH HER ON HER TELEGRAM
So good! Please never stop this channel and this excellent videos! 💪💪
Update!
After some help from the wonderful people in the comments and some research online I was finally able to SSH back into my R-Pi via CMD from Windows. I had to login via web browser to Open Media Vault. Went ahead and changed my password and update some credentials. Then went into user settings and added SSH as an option for my account. It is not automatically set. Thank you for this well-done video and thanks to those responding in the comments! Since this video as posted OMV has changed some of their ways and interface it seems. But nothing that can't be figured out with a little patience and digging.
Great video Chuck. Just built this project and working well. Cheers man!
Very informative. You made me feel learning to set up a pi and NAS is fun thanks chuck!
fantastic video! really cool style of video and covers everything! Plus coffee is always awesome!
I will subscribe based on your coffee addiction which I share. also, good videos!
I am a complete newbie. As a newbie question.... your plugging the pi into your router with eternet cable not into the computer right.
Perfect solution for minimal NAS, plus PLEX. I shall try this using 4B 8GB sat doing nothing.
Made this and it was a super fun project and extremely useful. Canceled spotify and just stream my own stuff now. Slowly adding in my favorite movies and TV shows too
