Raspberry Pi 5 + OpenMediaVault +NAS

Posted on Edited on In ,

1. Commerial NAS vs. DIY NAS?

  • For me, the BIGGEST difference between Commerial NAS vs. DIY NAS is their prices 😂
  • Without considering respective capabilities, DIY is ALWAYS of more freedom. And, freedom is so so so important as well

2. OpenMediaVault on Raspberry Pi 5

2.1 Use Lite Instead Of Desktop

On Raspberry Pi‘s official webpage Raspbian Operating Systems, find Raspberry Pi OS Lite in category Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit). As of today, the most up-to-date release is raspios_lite_arm64-2024-07-04.
