Hey sorry for the delayed reply! That's a VERY good question, since things got a little different since they moved away from Portainer I remember a bit of friction switching over, but geeze it was a while ago...

I did find this link though:

https://wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv7%3Adocker_in_omv

That might be similar (and possibly better organized!) than the guides I was working with when that OMV subsystem was still a bit new. I hope that might help! 🙂

That's so cool! Nice work! I feel a certain kinship with anyone who also got tons of 3D printing XP by building, rebuilding, researching, modding, head-scratching, laughing, crying, screaming at an A8 lol.

This here is mostly fire prevention: Basically an updated stock motherboard, better PSU, an aftermarket MOSFET board for safety, thicker gauge wires with ferrule crimps for all the power cables, the bed is now attached directly to the thicker wires by way of crimp connectors.

The printing surface is upgraded to carefully cut and polished picture frame float glass. 😂

Added that sweet fan duct mod, a little Noctua 15mm (because it softened and jammed otherwise LOL), and printed that purple bracket at the library because the plastic decided to literally crumble away.

Also the adjustable Z-stop was nice but the PLA softened so it's a bit unpredictable, and the right motor will gently slip until it's engaged so the gantry needs to be leveled every time...I also can't guarantee that the Z rods are straight anymore because it requires such a Goldilocks level of tension I probably overdid it lol.

Oh yeah, I had to replace the main power cable because the one provided just...had a break in it.

It still works for small jobs though! And it printed all those parts for itself, so that's kinda the RepRap dream right there right??

Lol I feel like an amazing machine is in here somewhere if I bothered to research custom boards and stuff. The stock bearings are also terrible. But if I can bother someday I'll stick Klipper on it maybe.

It was a crazy, stressful journey...but I learned a ton of electronics stuff, and how to use a multimeter, and engineering stuff! XD

My Ender3V2's felt like such a crazy luxury by comparison. 😂

Ahh another sophisticated LetsGameItOut enjoyer. Right on. :D

"Got it, got it, goooot it..." (DrKonqi coredump) "Perfect!" (Fanfare)

Man this picture is such a vibe lol. Love it. :D

That's so weird at first look on this picture I was like: "What's O...P...D? 🤔" LOL

Simple, elegant, rock solid. Very nice. :) Love your decals too!

Wait I see EMT piping for that printer frame... Did you convert an Anet A8 to an "EMT-8" like I did!? :D

Just seemed like a neat coincidence!

The stock A8 was such a scary fire hazard lol.

OMV has such a nice Docker management interface too. I really feel spoiled with it.

I was planning on all my services running in ProxMox or something, but my OMV VM handles all of them except PiHole basically lol. OMV is snazzy. :D

Oh yes the bright red rotary phone...I imagine if it's ringing, something has gone terribly wrong.

I'm so glad it was helpful! You're very welcome! I try to spread the word since NextCloud's default photo app...scares people away frankly lol.

I now use an extension to customize the menu, so Memories effectively replaces the default app from a user point of view.

Using Memories in Nextcloud AiO simplifies things a bit, but I seriously consider it NextCloud's "killer app." It's got EXIF editing, albums, user sharing, folder organizing, facial (and object!) recognition done locally, geo tagging map view...all local. The face recognizing stuff isn't perfect, but it's definitely good enough for the most part.

It's also very easy to send to people outside NextCloud, but I run it behind TailScale so it's not exposed to the open net at all. Copying and sending images through something like Signal also works fine. :)

It even has a neat Android app that sends my pictures to my server whenever I plug my phone in. (And moves them to my SD card in case something goes awry...but I learned I need to manage the cleanup of that part better lol)

Given all the other neat things NextCloud does, I like how it keeps photo managing in one place too.

Gonna also throw in: Nextcloud Memories.

It makes the photo organizing part of NextCloud AMAZING. I'm so happy I got to dump Google Photos for good.

If you wanna try Arch + KDE without hassle, well Arch has an easier installer now, but I use EndeavourOS. It's a lovely smooth Arch experience!

Very easy installer with lots of options to choose from. :)
