This is the Guide to install and sett up the Open Media vault on the Raspberry pi ( in this case raspberry pi 3B)

What is openmediavault? openmediavault is the next generation network attached storage (NAS) solution based on Debian Linux. It contains services like SSH, (S)FTP, SMB/CIFS, DAAP media server, RSync, BitTorrent client and many more. Thanks to the modular design of the framework it can be enhanced via plugins.

Download Image

In this case we need to download the images for the Raspberry

setting_openmediavault_001

We can use balenaEtcher to flash the image, after this we can put it in the RAspberry pi and boot it up, the next steps i did it connecting a keyboard to the Raspberry and a screen, this might be possible connecting to the raspberry by SSH but i didn't try.
