Hello,

recently I recycled my old laptop and started out with OpenMediaVault. After some initial difficulties I figured out how things work. Just to mention: I’m not an IT guy but can solve and figure out things. I want to have access to one or another self hosted services. But I’m a bit lost which approach and tools to use without exposing and making my NAS vulnerable on the internet.

Do you know any beginner friendly guides especially for OMV? I also want to understand what happens if and what my next action causes/can cause. So I don’t just want to dumb follow a tutorial and that’s it.

Thank you for your help and please let me know if you need any more details.

    I have used OMV for years. Great system.

    I remote in using zeroTier.

    It’s installed on the OMV server, and I have it on all my devices.

    That puts all my devices on a virtual “local network” so I can explore my shared folders, log into the OMV admin panel, etc, anywhere in the world.

    Has been working beautifully for me, for years.

    I hope that helps.

      Oh that’s interesting! I never heard about it tbh. But if it is preinstalled it should lay on the hand to (at least) try it out. Thanks a lot for your comment!
