Get IP address
Here, Sunfounder has installed the OMV system on TF card. We insert the card into the slot of Raspberry Pi 4, and then connect the power and net- work cables. When the system starts up and displays the “BASIC INFO” page, we record the IP address.

During the installation, there pops up a prompt at the top of the browser:
The configuration has been changed. You must apply the changes for them to take effect.
Select the Shared folder, click the ACL above, and set user permissions on the inter- face.
