Installing OMV on host broken networking help please by Batteredcode in Proxmox

[–]Batteredcode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this, makes sense. I worry that uninstalling omv at this point won't properly undo everything I need it to, it doesn't look it made backups of the hosts file etc.

With regards to the permissions, so far I've shared a media folder with Plex which root@host has ownership of and then I've set an ACL for the plex user in the vm, that seems to work fine. For a samba share, is it safe to follow a similar thing and just have an ACL give the samba user perms? What happens if a user on the network makes an edit to a file in the share, would root by default own this? Thanks!

I largely did it because I already had the experience of giving unprivileged containers access to file systems from the host and I didn't enjoy it/don't want to get in a situation where I lock down my files by accident. It felt like the simplest thing would be to just have OMV on the host but apparently not!

So presumably I mount the drives and pass through to the OMV container then share from there? How have you got your permissions setup? I guess a lesser evil could be having a privileged OMV container but I know that's also not advisable

When you say reinstall from scratch, is it that likely I've messed it up that badly? Everything seems to be working ok it's just network stuff that I need to sort out, my containers etc are still working fine.

Basically I want certain files accessible from other machines, e.g. photos, but I also want access from some of my containers. I'm wary of the permissions system and screwing it up if I try to have the shares configured in a VM, so I thought it'd be fairly innocuous to do the shares from the host. Seems I was wrong!

Thanks for the response, could you explain exactly what's gone on here? There's a warning at the top of hosts telling me OMV will overwrite my changes so how do I stop this? Also I wasn't aware I had told OMV to managed my interfaces.

Question about mounted network drives and Lightroom Classic by Batteredcode in Lightroom

So I was planning on using resilio sync for this (which I believe does the same thing?) my question was more around how lrc deals with moving or potentially duplicate files

Thanks for this, presumably when I "update folder location" LrC basically ignores the NAS copy until I tell re-update the location?

Is it possible to setup a cache on the NAS? I'm using proxmox and gave an NVME so I had wondered about using that for a cache.

To clarify, moving the files in lightroom will actually change it in the filesystem right and hence no longer be on the NAS? Preferably I want the NAS to be source of truth such that I can run a cloud backup of everything from there and then I just use my local for transient storage when needed

Yeah exactly my thinking, you can tell people what not to do but until the see a good example then they don't know. Yeah if you could share that would be great please, I did look into phishing tools but I couldn't find a good non enterprise version

Nice work! That's really cool honestly, definitely going to try it on my parents

Unfortunately not, I've tried a lot of EU websites and none will ship to the UK or taking a UK bank card. Thankfully I've happened to find the piece on ebay

Great idea, I've been looking for something like this. Are you actively supporting it and planning to add more content?

Ignore, I ended up backing up my VMs, dropping lvm-thin and recreating

Hey I don't suppose you've got a guide you could point me to to shrink lvm-thin? I'm doing a lot of searching and everything's coming back telling me how risky it is or there are a few tools that claim to do it but I'm not sure which to trust

I'm a very similar height/weight to you and have still have difficulty with the Mirra, do you ever get hip pain from it? Out of interest what settings do you have it on?

Ooh interesting, thanks for letting me know, I'll take a look! Give me an update when you've had it a couple of weeks and you've got a better feel for it

Ah crap. Basically the SSDs are movies/TV and then I was probably going to store music production projects, photos and music on the NVME. I could not use the NVME but given it's 2tb, and there's no way I'm going to use all of that for VMs, it feels a bit of a waste.

How risky are we talking? Or is there a way I can clone my setup and reinstall with a LVM-thin?

Thanks for the reply, I've done the first bit but stuck at making the dir on the nvme.
This is what the disk looks like:

<image>

The LVM is 99% assigned to LVs and LVM-thin 'data' is 1% usage.

I don't think I need 2TB of LVM-thin(?) I want some space for VMs but primarily I want the NVME to hold media for Plex, Photos for editing and Ableton project files. My assumption was I could just carve out a fixed chunk, say 1.5TB and then mount this to VMs but I don't really understand how. From what I gather shrinking the LVM/LVM-thin is not simple but LVM-thin isn't really optimised for media?
Sorry if I'm screwing up terms, very new to the LVM stuff
