Hi,
I bought my interceptor a while ago, but its sat in the box for a while as I couldn't get a CM4.
Luckily I now have one (8GB/8GB) on its way to me, so its time to dust off this project.
I plan to use it to make a NAS with SSD drives and use OMV6. My question is if my end point is OMV6 should I go in that direction from the start (Raspbian lite 64bit > OMV6) or use your OS and then install OMV6?
I don't plan to use the multiple network ports but maybe wire up a power switch to the J2. My thinking for going the Raspbian lite root is it will be headless in the end so better to save processing power than a GUI based OS (which I assume yours is?).
Thanks
Hi, Long overdue update, in short its been running with OMV6 really well for over a year, some images below:
Hello @cdjockey!
Very glad to hear you are getting your CM4 Board finally. We've not tested here with OMV, but I know several customers have and that the OMV community has had some discussions. Have you looked here yet? https://www.axzez.com/forum/interceptor-carrier-board/installing-omv-6-on-interceptor
From what I've seen in the OMV Forums, people have gone both ways (our OS and OMV provided OS). I just updated our post at the above link to fix the link to the OMV + Interceptor discussion in their forum, so check that again.
The Realtek IC we use for the ethernet switch is now mainlined in the Raspbian OS, so you should be good there. We offer the swconfig tool to manage the switch on our Software Downloads page: https://www.axzez.com/software-downloads
The boot-up GUI in our OS can be disabled and doesn't prevent you from running our image headless.
