installing and configuring openmediavault and logitech media server on olimex lime2

I want a single board home media server.  It has to run openmediavault and squeezeserver.  It has to be low power but have high transfer rate from storage with direct bus connection of HDD (unlike Pi which overloads its USB for all peripherals).  Solution at the time I bought it : olimex lime2

Here's how to configure it.
  1. Get image (debian : no desktop)  
  2. convert .7z to zip with arepack -e --format=zip *.7z
  3. burn image to sdcard with etcher
  4. edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts files
  5. physically install in lime2, connect to ethernet, and power up
  6. connect via ssh (default root password is 1234)
  7. apt get update & upgrade
  8. install openmediavault 
  9. within OMV; mount drives, setup shares, NFS, SMB etc
  10. install logitechmediaserver (see this guide)
  11. do post-install lms config via port 9000

Bingo!
