Run RcloneView on OpenMediaVault — Cloud Backup for Your DIY NAS
OpenMediaVault (OMV) gives you a powerful NAS on budget hardware. But local storage alone isn't safe. Add RcloneView to push your NAS data to the cloud for disaster recovery.
OpenMediaVault is the go-to NAS OS for DIY builders — run it on an old PC, a Raspberry Pi, or purpose-built hardware. It provides RAID, SMB/NFS sharing, and a web interface. What it doesn't provide is cloud backup. RcloneView fills that gap, running as a Docker container on OMV and syncing your shares to any of 70+ cloud providers.
Manage & Sync All Clouds in One Place
RcloneView is a cross-platform GUI for rclone. Compare folders, transfer or sync files, and automate multi-cloud workflows with a clean, visual interface.
- One-click jobs: Copy · Sync · Compare
- Schedulers & history for reliable automation
- Works with Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, S3, WebDAV, SFTP and more
Free core features. Plus automations available.
Why OMV + RcloneView?
OMV's built-in features handle local storage well, but cloud integration is limited. RcloneView adds:
- 70+ cloud providers — Google Drive, S3, B2, Wasabi, and more
- Visual file management — browse NAS alongside cloud storage
- Scheduled backups — automated offsite protection
- Verification — Folder Comparison confirms backup integrity
- Encryption — crypt remotes for private backups
Install via Docker
OMV supports Docker through the omv-extras plugin. Run RcloneView as a container with your shared folders mounted as volumes.
