If you are dealing with confidential files transfer/sharing, please make sure your setup is secured with long and hard to guess random password or PKI keys. Make sure you use DUMMY folders/files for testing first to get yourself familiar and comfortable with the settings.

Basic Setup

1. After boot, if the IP Address not showing on the HDMI output, you need to find the IP Address of the device with tools (e.g. netscan) (hostname: ROCK64, PINE64, PINE64SO)

2. Use the IP Address on PC browser to login to the Web Admin Pages: admin / openmediavault  (Remember to change the default password: System -> General Settings -> Web Administrator Password)

3. You may want to use Static IP for easy access in future: System -> Network -> Interfaces -> Edit or Add(Ethernet)

4. To setup secure https for Web Admin Pages:
    - System -> Certificates -> SSL -> Add -> Create (Set longer "Period of validity" if you do not want to renew the certificate too frequently) -> Save -> Apply
    - System -> General Settings -> Web Administration -> Secure connection
       - Enable SSL/TLS: Enable
       - Certificate: <<<Select Created SSL Certificate>>>
       - Port: 443
       - Force SSL/TLS: Enable
    - Please add exception for this self-signed certificate if your browser prompt you to do so

5. Setup the Dynamic DNS if you need to access the Web Admin Pages through internet. Then, on your internet modem/router: Port Forward to the slave/destination device with port 80(http) or 443(https)

Shared Folders

1. Plug Hard Drive

2. Go to Storage -> Physical Disks -> Scan
    - If you want to remove everything on your disk, you can use the "Wipe" button
       - Before that, make sure the disk file systems are all "Storage -> File Systems -> Unmount" first
       - After Wipe, use the "Storage -> File Systems -> Create" to create the new partition
          - Some of the operations or features on OpenMediaVault may not work well with some file systems (e.g. FAT/FAT32/NTFS) because of specific folders/files permission settings requirement problem, so EXT4 can be of better choice

3. Go to Storage -> File Systems -> select the Partition to mount -> Mount -> Apply
    - Note that, the partition will be mount under /srv/...

4. Access Right Management -> User -> Add (Make sure it is under "users" Group)

5. Access Right Management -> Shared Folders -> Add
    - You should add the shared folder starting from the root directory of your disk before you add the subfolder as shared folder. Because if you are trying to access to the subfolder directly, you may not able to get pass the parent folder permission. So your permission/privileges/ACL should also be set starting from your parent folder

    - Select newly added Shared Folder -> Privileges -> tick Read/Write for your user -> Save -> Apply
    - Select newly added Shared Folder -> ACL (for ext3/ext4 filesystem)
       - Tick Read/Write for your user in User/Groups permissions
       - Set Owner / Group to Read/Write/Execute and Others to None
       - Enable Recursive
       - Save -> Close

FTP

1. Go through the "Basic Setup" and "Shared Folders" above

2. Services -> FTP -> Settings -> Enable -> Save -> Apply
                   -> Shares -> Add -> Apply

If you constantly hit by "Permission denied", then you may consider a less secure solution: Services -> FTP -> Settings -> Permit root login (enable)
This may happen when your hard drive is using FAT/FAT32 file system where permission cannot be set and after reboot, the default read only permission is used

SAMBA (Windows Share)

1. Go through the "Basic Setup" and "Shared Folders" above

2. Services -> SMB/CIFS -> Settings -> Enable -> Save -> Apply
                        -> Shares -> Add -> Apply

NFS

1. Go through the "Basic Setup" and "Shared Folders" above

2. Services -> NFS -> Settings -> Enable -> Save -> Apply
                   -> Shares -> Add -> Apply

To access from Kodi/XBMC, use "insecure" instead of "secure" on "Extra options"

Rsync (Clone/Backup)

You required 2 devices (e.g. 2 ROCK64, PINE64, SOPINE or etc) to Clone/Backup from master to slave or bidirectional

1. Go through the "Basic Setup" and "Shared Folders" above

2. [On slave/destination device]
    Services -> Rsync -> Server -> Settings -> Enable -> Save -> Apply
                                -> Modules -> Add -> General
     - Make sure to choose correct "User"
     - Enable "Authenticate users"
     - Fill in "Hosts allow" for more security
                                                  -> User -> Add

3. Services -> Rsync -> Jobs -> Add (Type: Remote, Mode: Push, Destination server: [USER]@[HOST]::[Rsync Server Module Name])
    - [HOST] can be <<<CNAME>>>.ddns.net for Dynamic DNS
    - For testing: select Job -> Run
    - For bidirectional Rsync: Add another Job to Pull from slave/destination device (Don't enable Delete because deleted file/folder may be copied over again)

4. Diagnostics -> System Logs

5. Setup the Dynamic DNS if you need to rsync clone/backup through internet. Then, on your internet modem/router: Port Forward to the slave/destination device with port 873

SSH

1. Go through the "Basic Setup" above

2. Services -> SSH -> Permit root login (enable)  (Remember to always disable it back for security reason)

3. SSH to the device with Putty: root / openmediavault  (Remember to change the default password)

System Monitoring

1. Go through the "Basic Setup" above

2. System -> Monitoring -> Enable -> Save -> Apply

3. Diagnostics -> System Information -> Performance statistics

Notification

1. Go through the "Basic Setup" above

2. System -> Notification -> Settings
    - Enable

       - Username: <<<Your GMAIL Address>>>
       - Password: <<<Your GMAIL Password>>>
       - Recipient: <<<Your Recipient Emails>>>
       - At your GMAIL account, you also need to enable: GMAIL -> Settings -> Accounts and Import -> Change account settings -> Other Google Account settings -> Sign-in & security -> Apps with account access -> Allow less secure apps: ON
    - Save -> Apply
    - Use "Send a test email" for testing

Wi-Fi

1. Go through the "Basic Setup" above

2. While Ethernet network cable is still plugged, plug in the USB Wi-Fi dongle and reboot the device

3. Login to the Web Admin Pages and go to System -> Network -> Interfaces -> Add(Wi-Fi)
    - General settings
       - Name: <<<Select wlan0>>>
    - Wi-Fi
       - SSID: <<<Your Wireless Router Wi-Fi SSID>>>
