OpenMediaVault on Raspberry Pi 5 - Project

Hello guys, in this video I will describe my experience with the OpenMediaVault software on Raspberry Pi 5. I wanted to do a software project with the Pi 5 and this was done in August 2024. This video describes what OMV is, gives pointers on how to install it on Raspberry Pi, its features and pros and cons in my usage. I also talk about other software nuances near the end that are partly my opinion. A NAS is a network-attached storage, allowing users to transfer files to the device over a network, like an external hard drive.

I used knowledge and images that I do not own from various websites which I have added as references below. Not all inspiration and guides used for this video are collected as references but these ones have relevance to the video and some were inspiration for the NAS project.
