NAS Setup — OpenMediaVault

Network Attached Storage installation & configuration

OpenMediaVault NAS Linux (Debian) RAID SMB / CIFS Network Storage

Overview

In this project I installed and configured a Network Attached Storage (NAS) system using OpenMediaVault (OMV), a Debian-based NAS operating system. The goal was to set up a centralised file server accessible over the local network.

What I configured

  • Installed OpenMediaVault on a dedicated machine
  • Configured disk management and a RAID array for data redundancy
  • Created shared folders and user access permissions
  • Enabled SMB/CIFS shares for Windows and Linux clients
  • Set up the web-based administration interface

Key takeaways

This project gave me hands-on experience with NAS administration, RAID configuration, file sharing protocols, and Linux-based server management through a web UI.
