Storage Box - Corralling the Streaming Horde (part 2 of ?)

Now that it has been awhile and I have had some time to configure and test and define things in OpenMediaVault. I have to say that I really love it.

I come from places of “prebuilt” or “commercial” offerings like Synology and QNAP. Now being back in back in the land of somewhat opinionated but mostly hackable Linux/Debian spaces has been highly refreshing. The WebUI of OMV for the plugins is not really all that difficult but I would recommend being familiar with the commandline as well to fetch some of the necessary data pieces for configuring everything as you will need the UUID of drives.

Storage Box - Corralling the Streaming Horde (part 1 of ?)

By the gods are there so many options these days for streaming and yet never enough places that actually keep the ones I want to continue watching or their ever growing prices and ever arcane licensing models.

The only subscription worth money is dropout.tv

For everything there are ‘Seagate EXOS drives’, lol

For starters, I’m a bit of a linux nerd (yes I’ve used Arch). I keep things, horde things like a dragon when it comes to my little data bits. So to keep my horde mostly safe, in an opinionated way, I’ve constructed a server to handle all my needs and hopefully future needs.
