I have done a similar thing in the past, but to flash firmware onto any device with a certain USB descriptor that gets plugged in. It was a mess of USB hubs and cables, but it worked.

What I did was write a udev rule that checks for the vendor and product id of a newly plugged in device and calls a script when there's a match. The script then performs the flashing and logs the output.

In your case:

1. dd the source USB to a file (make sure the partition you're dding is smalled than any target drive
2. Udev rule according to your needs (all the same product or different drives?)
3. Script that dds the file you created earlier back to the newly plugged in drive.

Edit. Did this on a rpi3

Thanks for the link. I am on Graphene, and if a fellow poster in here is correct that doesn't help. Bummer.

According to Varoufakis, Europe missed the bus on cloud capital (=big cloud platforms like amazon, meta, twitter,...) and the race is currently playing out between US and China.

Maybe there's a natural border like a river there that influences propagation. (I don't know how earthquakes work.)

Who?

More like all the research teams.

Tape drive! I had one of those back in the mid to late 90s, salvaged from my dad's dead office PC. I was around 10, and the fact that it worked to take a part from a machine and put it into another, as well as the absolutely insane storage capacity of the tapes... felt like magic. No clue how I knew what to do, either, but it worked.

Edit. Hazy on the specs, but I think it would have been a Pentium 1 (166MHz) with 16MB RAM, and 1.2GB HDD seems about right. Played the heck out of Rayman on that.

Here's the docker stats of my Nextcloud containers (5 users, ~200GB data and a bunch of apps installed):

No DB wiz by a long shot, but my guess is that most of that 125MB is actual data. Other Postgres containers for smaller apps run 30-40MB. Plus the container separation makes it so much easier to stick to a good backup strategy. Wouldn't want to do it differently.

Nextcloud doesn't like changes on disk in its own file structure, but you can mount "external storage" where Nextcloud is okay with changes and happily scans the location when you access it (a network share, or a local file path also works; SMB share will probably get you around the permissions problem though.)

Don't know about immich as I haven't used it, but you will probably have to decide on one of the two services to be "in charge" of the files, I think.

I am trying to learn in a safe environment without breaking my existing network. It's not actually a WAN, except from the firewall's point of view.

Woah, are you okay?

Does anybody have pointers how to compile it? The readme is a little lacking...
