This way you can allow users, groups etc to write/read content from the shares. Once you have the shares available, modify the user permissions using the ACL option in users/share.

It’s important that you select permission inheritance for any folders that contain media files for Plex or DLNA, otherwise, Plex server won’t see new file structures. SMB – file sharing Enable SMB in services, click through to shares option and create shares.

We will do this once the RAID partition has been created. If you want to create a RAID partition, don’t create any file systems on the drives used for that. Once this is done, you have to create the file systems. You will need these credentials later to access the network storage. The fstab file will get populated this way and will save you some issues later.Ĭreate a user account, set a username and password. Also scan for drives even if the drives are present. This way you are 100% sure drives can be accessed by the Raspberry Pi NAS. I strongly suggest to quick-wipe the drives before you do anything else. Once ready plug everything in and log in to the web interface. I formatted the drives on my desktop PC to speed things up. Download the latest repository and install it on your board. The Raspberry Pi NAS is running an Open Media Vault software. You will need a tweezers unless you have loaded the software already on your Raspberry Pi.

votes are thanked for! *cost of the drives is not included Ready? Let's start the awesome instructable! Additional information about this build is available via this page:Īlso, hint Raspberry Pi competition time.

Impress your family and friends - comes with all the bragging rights!.

USB interface for data transfer and keyboard access Īll this goodness is available for less than $50*!!!Īre you excited yet? Don't have the $50 to spare? Don't worry, if you skip few bells and whistles you could build it for as little as $21.
