OMV-Extras for OMV5, OMV6, and OMV7

OMV-Extras for OMV5, OMV6 and OMV7



The installation of OMV-Extras enables access to the full range of value added plugin’s available on openmediavault.

  Note
Applies only to amd64 (64-bit) ISO installations. When using scripted installs (Raspberry PI's, Armbian SBC's, 32-bit, etc.), OMV-Extras is installed by default.
Note that manual installations on ARMEL platforms are NOT supported.


Installing OMV-Extras is accomplished by copying and pasting the following wget command, on your server's command line, as root:

wget -O - https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/packages/raw/master/install | bash

Highlight the line above and hit ctrl+c. In an SSH client like PuTTY, a right mouse click will paste the line into the command line. Do not close the PuTTY window before the script is complete. (The widow can be minimized.)

  Note
If you're unsure of how to use an SSH client to get on the command line, see this reference for → installing and using PuTTY.


  • When the script is complete, OMV-Extra's will be installed and activated.
  • In the OMV7 GUI, under System, Plugins, click the Magnifying Glass icon (check for new plugins).
  • In the OMV6 GUI, under System, Plugins, click the Magnifying Glass icon (check for new plugins).
  • In the OMV5 GUI, under System, Plugins, click the Check button.


The plugins window will be populated with a wide range of new, value added, plugins.
