Openmediavault Releases Version 6, based on Debian 11

For those that are considering, or have built their own NAS and are interested in the various OS options out there, Openmediavault 6codenamned Shaitanwas officially released last week. The new version is based on Debian 11 and Linux kernel 5.16. The most noticeable new feature is the reworked UI that makes OMV feel somewhat more modern, even if it's no match when it comes to pretty design when compared to the operating systems for Asustor, Synology and QNAP. That said, the new UI brings with it a lot of improvements for those that aren't keen on doing things over the command line. OMV has been overhauled from the ground up, starting with a new installer that makes it easier to install from one USB drive to another.

Other new features include native container support, although for now, it's limited to a few select containers that appear as if they were regular plugins. Many of the new features have implemented various OMV Extras plugins as native features, but for anyone looking to expand on the base features, OMV Extras is still around and kicking and is still something of a must-have install. This is especially true if your OS drive is an SSD or USB drive, as the Flashmemory plugin is still an optional extra which no sensible person would want to do without. With the release of OVM 6, OVM 5 has been depreciated and will no longer be getting updates, so if you're using an older version of OMV, you might want to consider updating to the latest version.
