FAQ — OpenMediaVault Cloud Server

Common questions, straight answers.

What is OpenMediaVault?
OpenMediaVault (OMV) is a Debian-based NAS operating system. It provides a web-based GUI for managing file shares (SMB/CIFS, NFS, FTP, SFTP), user accounts, disk monitoring, RAID, and plugins. Install it on a Cloudzy VPS to run a cloud-hosted NAS.

How do I install OpenMediaVault on my VPS?
Start with a Debian 12 VPS from Cloudzy, then run the official OMV install script. Installation takes about 10 minutes. Access the web GUI at your VPS IP on port 80 and start configuring shares.

How much RAM does OMV need?
OpenMediaVault runs well on 1 GB of RAM for basic file sharing. If you plan to run Docker containers or handle many simultaneous connections, 2-4 GB is recommended.

Can I use OMV for team file sharing?
Yes. Set up SMB shares and create user accounts with per-folder permissions. Team members mount the shares from Windows, macOS, or Linux, it works like a local file server but hosted in the cloud.

Does OMV support plugins?
Yes. OpenMediaVault has an active plugin ecosystem. Popular plugins include Docker management (Compose), ZFS support, remote mount, snapshot backups, and media server integrations.

How fast are file transfers?
Cloudzy VPS plans include 40 Gbps uplinks and NVMe storage. Actual transfer speeds depend on your client's internet connection, but the server side is not the bottleneck.

Can I run Nextcloud alongside OMV?
Yes. Use OMV's Docker plugin to run Nextcloud in a container, storing data on the OMV-managed filesystem. You get the OMV NAS features plus Nextcloud's file sync and sharing.

Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. Cloudzy offers a 14-day money-back guarantee on every VPS plan. Set up OpenMediaVault, test your file sharing setup, if it doesn't meet your needs, get a full refund.

Ready when you are.
Cloud NAS in 10 minutes.
