OMV8 will install and run on 64bit Debian 13 - Trixie.
- For amd64 bit platforms, installing from the project provided ISO is preferred.
- For SBC's, when selecting an image, select a Debian 13 - Trixie (64bit) minimal or server image. Images that include desktops are NOT supported.
- When using the alternate installation method, select a Debian (64bit) netinst ISO. When software selection choices are provided, during the install, insure that any desktop options are deselected and that SSH is selected.

Where Raspberry Pi model compatibility is concerned, the following table applies.

Note: In practice, when using the Raspberry PI imager, a 64bit OS may not be available for the R-PI 2B v1.2|

---

The following 32bit R-PI models are NOT supported.

There are edge cases, like Allwinner H5/H6 boards that are are capable of running a 64-bit OS. In these cases, Armbian may default to a 32-bit bit userland which makes the board incompatible with OMV8. The NanoPi Neo2 is one example and is not recommended for OMV8. Custom arm64 builds are possible for these boards but are not officially supported.

After installing Armbian:
(on the CLI as root)

uname -m
(Expected Output → aarch64)

dpkg –print-architecture
(Expected Output → arm64)

The following table is a one time snap shot, as of November 4th 2025, of Armbian arm64 boards that are supported.
Note:
This table will not be maintained. It will evolve and become increasingly inaccurate over time. If unsure of Armbian OS compatibility, use the verification commands provided, above.
