After the previous article, our Raspberry Pi microcomputer can be used as needed, and based on my actual situation (I have a WD-SSD-1T-2024: ¥500) and needs, I plan to set up a simple but functional NAS server;Reference link:

https://www.zhihu.com/collection/964553545

I have resources shared by friends stored on a certain cloud, with issues like privacy security, slow upload & download speeds, etc. Where there are problems, there are needs, and I will gradually solve these needs below;

4.3 NAS Server

4.3.1 What is NAS? What does it do?

NAS: Network Attached Storage, used for downloading machines/personal cloud storage/media library management/book library management, etc.;

4.3.2 Deploying NAS

Software options: Synology/QNAP/ASUS/OpenMediaVault (OMV), etc.;

(1) Deploying OMV Environment

1) Change Source

sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list  # Comment out the previous ones, copy the following USTC and Tsinghua mirror sources into the file deb http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/raspbian/raspbian/ buster main contrib non-free rpideb http://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/raspbian/raspbian/ buster main contrib non-free rpideb-src http://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/raspbian/raspbian/ buster main contrib non-free rpi

sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list # Comment out the previous ones, copy the following USTC and Tsinghua mirror sources into the file deb http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ buster main uideb http://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/raspberrypi/ buster main uideb-src http://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/raspberrypi/ buster main ui

# Update the system sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

2) Install and Log in to OMV

Get the installation script from the GitHub repository; Link as follows:

https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/installScript

# Manually install sudo chmod +x  ??? && sudo install  ???

Finally, log in to the OMV web page by entering http://RaspberryPiIP in your computer’s browser

(Default: admin/openmediavault)

3) Set up OMV (optional operation)

In general settings, set the automatic logout time to 1 day;

Create shared folders based on the disk (SSD), enable SMB for sharing;

4) Install omvextras plugin based on OMV (optional operation)

Get the omv-extras mirror plugin from Tsinghua source; Link as follows:

https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/OpenMediaVault/openmediavault-plugin-developers/pool/main/o/openmediavault-omvextrasorg/

Then manually upload and install;

5) Install Docker based on omvextras plugin

# Update omvextras software source sudo vi /etc/sources.list.d/omvextras.listdeb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/OpenMediaVault/openmediavault-plugin-developers usul maindeb [arch=armhf] https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/docker-ce/linux/debian buster stablesudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

6) Pull && Deploy Docker Image

Use Portainer tool/command line to pull && deploy Docker image; Not elaborating, just find a way that works for you;

(2) Download Machine

Software options: Transmission for seeding, qBittorrent for daily downloads, etc.;

1) Mount Hard Drive

# Refer to the following content and set according to the actual situation sudo umount /dev/sda1sudo mkdir /mnt/ssdsudo vi /etc/fstab# Add the following content /dev/sda1 /mnt/ssd exfat defaults 00# Confirm effectiveness sudo mount -a && lsblk -f

2) Pull && Deploy Transmission

# pullsudo docker pull linuxserver/transmission:arm32v7-4.0.2# deploysudo docker run -d \  --name=transmission \    --net=host \    -e PUID=1000 \    -e PGID=1000 \    -e TZ=Asia/Shanghai \    -e USER=admin \    -e PASS=passwd \    -v /data/transmission/config:/config \    -v /data/transmission/downloads:/downloads \    -v /data/transmission/watch:/watch \    -p 9091:9091 \    -p 51413:51413 \    -p 51413:51413/udp \  --restart=always \  linuxserver/transmission:arm32v7-4.0.2  # The above deploy lacks permission option configuration and PUID, PGID (id $user; select root)  # docker logs transmission to see the print, supplement after that  s6-svscan: warning: unable to iopause: Operation not permitted  s6-svscan: warning: executing into.s6-svscan/crash  s6-svscan crashed. Killing everything and exiting.  s6-linux-init-hpr: fatal: unable to reboot(): Operation not permitted  sudo docker run --privileged --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN -d \    --name=transmission \    -e PUID= \    -e PGID= \    -e TZ=Asia/Shanghai \    -e USER=admin \    -e PASS=passwd \    -v /data/transmission/config:/config \    -v /media/WDssd/downloads:/downloads \    -v /data/transmission/watch:/watch \    -p 9091:9091 \    -p 51413:51413 \    -p 51413:51413/udp \    --restart=always \    linuxserver/transmission:arm32v7-4.0.2

3) Pull && Deploy qBittorrent

# pullsudo docker pull linuxserver/qbittorrent:arm32v7-4.5.3# deploy, default account password admin/adminadminsudo docker run --privileged --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN -d \  --name=qbittorrent \  -e PUID= \  -e PGID= \  -e TZ=Asia/Shanghai \  -e WEBUI_PORT=8080 \  -e TORRENTING_PORT=6881 \  -p 8080:8080 \  -p 6881:6881 \  -p 6881:6881/udp \  -v /data/qbittorrent/config:/config \  -v /media/WDssd/downloads:/downloads \  --restart=always \  linuxserver/qbittorrent:arm32v7-4.5.3
