- | ===== Introduction to Server Maintenance ===== | ||
- | |||
- | So you now have a working Openmediavault installation. | ||
- | For casual home users that may seem like all that's required and, indeed, for | ||
- | a computer hobbyist, a working Linux server may be enough. | ||
- | installed on. \\ | ||
- | \\ | ||
- | On the other hand, PC hardware and hard drives fail. Some users may want to change their hardware, add new hardware, | ||
- | expand openmediavault with server add-on packages, etc. On a rare occasion software that is pushed down from upstream, in a security or package update, | ||
- | may not be compatible with existing server packages. | ||
- | The end result of these possible events leaves an open question; "How do I recover?" | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Purpose ==== | ||
- | |||
- | The purpose and intent of this document is to provide home users and new Linux admin' | ||
- | and simple backup processes needed to maintain a server. | ||
- | facilitated if users know how to get on the command line. To get advice on the forum, forum supporters may ask for "the output of a command" | ||
- | A running assumption is that Openmediavault users will know how to get on the command line. | ||
- | |||
- | This document was written to introduce new users to useful utilities and to provide examples of maintenance concepts and simple procedures. | ||
- | |||

- | ===== Utilities to Help With Openmediavault Management ===== | ||
- | |||
- | As previously noted, being able to work from the command line would be very useful to users, who may need to | ||
- | gather detailed information on the OS and platform hardware, for troubleshooting and | ||
- | for an occasional edit to a configuration file. Much can be learned with the following | ||
- | utilities that allow users to look at Openmediavault “under the hood”. \\ |
