In contrast to existing solutions, LUKS stores all necessary setup information in the partition header, enabling the user to transport or migrate his data seamlessly.

* openmediavault-mergerfs

Makes it possible to pool folders under a single mountpoint with mergerfs.

* openmediavault-minidlna

Lightweight DLNA/UPnP-AV server targeted at embedded systems MiniDLNA (aka ReadyDLNA) is server software with the aim of being fully compliant with DLNA/UPnP-AV clients. The minidlna daemon serves media files (music, pictures, and video) to clients on your network. Example clients include applications such as totem and xbmc, and devices such as portable media players, smartphones, and televisions. MiniDLNA is a simple, lightweight alternative to mediatomb, but has fewer features. It does not have a web interface for administration and must be configured by editing a text file.

* openmediavault-omvextrasorg

OMV-Extras.org plguin and Docker repositories. An apt cleaning function is also available for fixing repository cache  problems and saving hard drive space in some instances.

* openmediavault-remotemount

* openmediavault-snapraid

SnapRAID is a backup program for disk arrays. It stores parity information of your data and it's able to recover from up to two  disk failures. SnapRAID is mainly targeted for a home media center, with a lot of big files that rarely change. Beside the ability to recover from disk failures, other features of  SnapRAID are:
- All your data is hashed to ensure data integrity and to avoid silent corruption.
- If the failed disks are too many to allow a recovery, you lose the data only on the failed disks. All the data in the other disks is safe.
- If you accidentally delete some files in a disk, you can recover them.
- You can start with already filled disks.
- The disks of the array can have different sizes.
- You can add disks at any time.
- It doesn't lock-in your data. You can stop using SnapRAID at any time without the need to reformat or move data.

It aims to be faster, simpler, leaner, and more useful than IPsec, while avoiding the massive headache. It intends to be considerably  more performant than OpenVPN. WireGuard is designed as a  general purpose VPN for running on embedded interfaces and  super computers alike, fit for many different circumstances.

* openmediavault-wol

Plugin to send wake-on-lan magic packets and put system in standby to wake at a specified time using rtcwake and wakeonlan.
