Features

• Dashboard — CPU, memory, temperatures, uptime and storage at a glance; cards can be hidden and reordered.
• Storage — file systems, disks, SMART health, attributes and self-test logs, shared folders.
• Docker — containers, OMV Compose stacks (up / stop / restart), images and update availability; a container editor for environment variables, ports, mounts and restart policy, with automatic backup and rollback.
• Files — browse shared folders over SFTP; upload, download (including whole folders as ZIP), rename, create and delete.
• Services, updates and plugins — service status and start/stop, package updates, installed plugins.
• Administration — users, groups, scheduled jobs, processes and system logs.
• Performance — CPU, RAM, network, disk and temperature charts (1 h / 24 h / 7 d).
• SSH — command runner with an OMV command library and an interactive shell.
• Monitoring — optional background checks with notifications for full disks, SMART problems, high temperatures, stopped services and containers, and available updates; home-screen widget.
• Demo mode — try the app without a server.

Requirements

• Android 8.0 or newer.
• openmediavault 7 or newer, reachable from the device (LAN, VPN or reverse proxy).
• Optional, for some features:
  • SSH access for service controls, files, hardware details, network/disk rates and the container editor.
  • Python 3 on the server for performance, hardware and container-editing helpers.
  • openmediavault-compose plugin for Docker features.

Install

1. Download the latest .apk from Releases.
2. Open it on your device and allow installing apps from that source when Android asks.
3. Updates: install the newer APK over the old one; your saved servers are kept. You can also use Obtainium to get update notifications from this repository.

Every release is signed with the same key. The signing certificate SHA-256 is:

F4:CB:3F:60:C2:28:28:10:C5:3B:13:B7:92:FA:ED:0F:0F:A6:DE:69:76:3C:7A:87:66:A8:45:09:8F:5F:CA:AD

Security

• Passwords are encrypted on the device with a key held in the Android Keystore; nothing is sent anywhere except to your own server.
• HTTPS is used by default. Self-signed certificates are trusted only after you approve that exact certificate, and a changed certificate is reported as a warning. Unencrypted HTTP must be explicitly allowed per server.
• SSH host keys are verified by fingerprint before any password is sent.
• Optional biometric app lock; app content is hidden from screenshots and the recent-apps screen by default.
• No analytics, no ads, no third-party services.

Use a non-root SSH account where possible (sudo rights for systemctl, membership in the docker group for container editing).

Building from source

Requires Android Studio (or JDK 17+ and the Android SDK).

./gradlew testDebugUnitTest      # unit tests
./gradlew assembleDebug          # debug build (package com.omvcompanion.app.dev)
./gradlew assembleRelease        # release build (needs a signing key, see below)

Release signing reads keystore.properties in the project root; copy keystore.properties.example and fill it in. Never commit that file or your keystore.
