OMV alternative?

Hi all,
thanks to bodhi's patience i've been able to make my nsa325v2 boot from linux.
Now i have another difficult question: omv 4 is noty uspporting plugins for armel cpus: is there any other a bit graphic nas tool to be installed over a debian basis? i mean a gui with possibility to control file sharing, jdownlaoder, hosting, etc?

there is a howto somewhere on here for OMV

OMV howto

thank you for your prompt reply,
but my issue is slightly different: it's not how to, but compatibility: debian stretch is ocmpatible with omv4, but omv4 plugins won't be developed at all for armel architecture, which my nsa325v2 seems to belong to

That’s right. NSA325 is armel. We knew there is some problem with OMV in Debian stretch. I dont use GUI with these servers so not sure what is the good replacement for it!

Hi,
I have looked at this myself, but i think for arm boxes there is no real open source alternative to OMV.
I tried OMV, but i have to say i don't really see the value. So maybe ask yourself, why do you need it and if you can not reach your goal differently?
I setup my server tasks simply by hand and have a nextcloud instance running for remote file access, listing to music etc. What else do you need?

actually i've started arranging myself, as you said:
omv is useful just to set permissions with a couple of clicks and it doensìt burn the cpu .
i've successfully added amule, though it took me a little more than i expected to have it working
i've had to install cpulimit to keep amule quiet
then i have had to add an entry in cron to restart cpulimit daemon since after some 15 minutes it literally clogs processes list..
now going to add piece by piece other software and make more experiments....

not sure i agree with that... linux users, as opposed to linux consumers, are usually a bunch of technical people who can find a different way to do the same thing when a developer drops what they consider to be an aged architecture.

anyone remember when you could install linux on a 386.... and the way things are going on an x86 architecture and everything was there out of the box

i didnt even suspect there was an alternative to dos in those times....

i'm a consumer, or a user which feels unlucky.. not sure yet

Right up until 2012
https://www.extremetech.com/computing/143216-linux-drops-support-for-intels-386-processors-but-does-it-really-matter

Darn technological evolution! when shall we learn! when!?



however...
let's check if i can avoid formatting:
i've successfully installed amule, then i said myself: let's install amule-adunanza (which is a modified version of amule for my internet provbider) as well!
i got till the point i got the message:

configure: error: 
		wxWidgets must be installed on your system but wx-config
		script couldn't be found. Please check that wx-config is
		in path or specified by --with-wx-config=path flag, the
		directory where wxWidgets libraries are installed (returned
		by 'wx-config --libs' command) is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or
		equivalent variable and wxWidgets version is 2.8.12 or above.

from the high of my ignorance i googled a bit, so i decided to add repositories from this website

alas, i could not install the adunanza version
and what's worse it made a mess with normal amule: till a while ago it refused to boot at all, not it doens't boot at startup, but if i type amuled, i get a huuge long message, but it seems like it's worrking
this is the last part of it

ok - amule needs a graphical user interface. which unless you have setup vnc or xrdp on ths unit you wont have....

so, my recomendation to you is to install

https://wiki.debian.org/minidlna - for your legal media needs, this will make you media available across your network

https://www.smarthomebeginner.com/install-transmission-web-interface-on-ubuntu-1204/ - for your torrent downloading needs.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS SHOULD BE USED TO DOWNLOAD LEGAL MEDIA.

I don't advocate piracy or the discussion of such on this forum. We are a respectable bunch!! : sermon over :)

weeelll... i just wanted to have the donkey ready to be used.... but now.. stubborn as it is it won't work
but now my issue is: should i format the hd and put the bodhi prepared operative system upon it, or i can somehow fix it?

Start from fresh and go from there...

welll
somehow i could recover it....
cpulimit script conflicted with watchdog and somehow it didn't cope with amule-daemon
so i had to move the script, reboot, could install amule things, then made sure the daemon booted along with the nas, i could put the cpulimit back in place
i repeat: no idea why all of this happened, but now it seems to work fairly
