#raspibackup — Public Fediverse posts

I've managed to get #OpenMediaVault working on my #RaspberryPi (running #Raspbian Lite) and the performance seems pretty impressive! Despite relying on USB storage for the SSDs.

This is my first time running a #NAS on the Pi, on #OMV, not using #ZFS or #RAID but rather an #Unraid like solution, 'cept, #FOSS called #SnapRAID in combination with #mergerfs (the drives themselves are simply #EXT4).

So far, honestly, so good. I got 2x 1TB SSDs for data, and another 1TB SSD for parity. Don't have a backup for the data themselves atm, but I do have a scheduled backup solution (#RaspiBackup) setup for the OS itself (SD card). It's also got #Timeshift for creating daily snapshots.

I'm not out of the woods yet though, cos after this comes the (somewhat) scary part - deploying #Immich on the Pi lol (using OMV's #Docker compose interface perhaps). I really could just deploy it in my #Proxmox #homelab, and I wouldn't have to worry about system resources or hardware transcoding, etc. but I really wanna experiment this 'everything hosted/contained in 1 Pi' concept.

The actual fuck... I've successfully installed #OpenMediaVault (#OMV) on my #RaspberryPi. I've done some configurations on it, tho fortunately not done too much like setting up disks/shares and the like, cos it would've been a waste of time.

Why? cos I, on the terminal, installed ssmtp for email notifications for a separate (OS) backup solution:

sudo apt install ssmtp

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  openmediavault openmediavault-flashmemory openmediavault-omvextrasorg postfix
