At 10.06.2026 openmediavault 7 will become EOL because Debian 12 estimates EOL (end-of-life) for the same time. This means no security/bugfix updates will be released anymore. Please upgrade to openmediavault 8 to be up-to-date.
2026-06-10 for people using a not insane date format. Already updated some of my omv installs, went without a hassle. Check if your plugins are supported, some of them were removed.

You da real MVP mate! I’m still on 7 and completely missed this. Will go for Proxmox soon, but until I get round to it, I’ll have to get this done.
Wow, this went smooth! Just upgraded to 8 without issue! And I’ve done a ton of modifications on my system… Even pulled an image with Clonezilla just to be in the safe side. Very well done on OMV’s part! 👏
ISO 8601 or bust.
dd-mm-yyyy is not an insane format, thank you.
Can’t sort your files by file name with that, though.
ISO 8601. For your health.
I do YMD in file names/logs and DMY everywhere else. Context is important, especially since the day is often the most important part when talking about upcoming stuff.
The real issue here is that dd.mm.yyyy can be confused with mm.dd.yyyy (I do not thank you, damn Americans), whereas yyyy-mm-dd is unambiguous.
But it wasn’t dd-mm-yyyy, it was dd.mm.yyyy which looks a lot like a version number in this context.
I upgraded to OMV8 from 7 a few months ago, it was surprisingly easy without any issues.
interesting, it seems like debian 12 bookworm itself will still continue getting security patches from LTS
i had to check because i still have a system on 11 bullseye (actually, Devuan 4 chimaera) and it still seemed to get patches. seems like i have two months left…
Yes, it’s mostly about special omv packages, they won’t get fixes and updates anymore. They are coming from omv’s own repos, and they may break, this date is not a hard deadline when something will stop working, just a heads up. As you can see the date was published only 2 days early.
