creating an Openmediavault VM inside Win10 question

[em_lab]

i would like to have some advice... 

 

i would like to have a NAS solution but i can not afford it now..

 

1.

I got my PC at home that i use for work

and i´m thinking if it would be a good idea to install an OMV VM inside Win10

in order to hack a backup solution and get acces to those files  (easily) from the internet (outside of mu local network) ?

 

2.

also i have a few HDDs in my PC (3 desktop drives and 2 WD nas drives)

i would like to know if the VM is running with the WD NAS drives mounted on it....

the other drives mounted on win10 will keep spining all the time ?

this can cause some damage to the desktop drives?

 

Thanks a lot

Why use OMV? 

 

Id just use storage spaces to make the pool, and then use smb sharing to access accross other system on the network.

 

Keeping a drive spinning all the time won't do much damage, they should easily last 5+ years running 24+

 

How do you want to access the system remotly?

Storage spaces its a good solution ill try it 

 

i need to get acces from outside my home

the ideal would be Teamviewer (but not gratuit**)

but it will be ok if only i get acces to my files

(google drive, dropbox etc dont work for me bcause my project forlders weight +/- 10Gb)

 

the problem is i never has succes seting up acces from the outside with SMB or FTP, thats why i thought in OMV

because it works once

 

** i use the free version of teamviewer for a while but my account was set to pro, and they send me an email expecifiyng that the free version was mean for personal and punctual use

OMV won't give you anything more than a samba/ftp share on Windows itself would, you're probably looking at something like nextcloud (like dropbox but way better and can be self-hosted so no usage limits)

Id look at nextcloud in a vm. Gives you a website that works like good drive.

 

You don't want to use smb or ftp publicly. There not secure.
