The OpenMediaVault team has released version 6.1.4 for the main OS. As well as this update, there are also new releases for two other packages. Here, we’ll break down the changes, as well as how to go about installing it on your DIY NAS.
You could go out and buy the best NAS from Synology, QNAP, and other brands, install some drives, and you’re good to go. But if you’d like even more control over your server and data, there’s always the route of creating your own NAS server. This allows one to put together a PC build and install a custom OS.
OpenMediaVault is an OS that can be installed to run and manage the server. It packs a punch like those that run prebuilt enclosures. It has been around for many years, has a helpful community, and is based on Debian Linux, a stable and reliable platform for a NAS package.
