OpenMediaVault provides a web-based administration interface for managing a self-hosted network-attached storage (NAS) system. It enables users to transform commodity hardware into a robust, open-source data storage and sharing solution, accessible and configurable entirely through a standard web browser on the local network. The platform's primary job is to centralize file storage, facilitate network sharing protocols, and support various media and data services without proprietary vendor lock-in.
