Disc went to 100% in use
the root folder of /DATA/AppData/Syncthing/config pushed disk space to 100% in use. :frowning: I’m looking for a solution to keep syncthing running.

SymLink solution didn’t work:
First try was to MOVE /DATA/AppData/Syncthing to the SATA drive and put a symlink in the place of the /DATA/AppData/Syncthing directory.

casaos@CasaOS:/DATA/AppData$ ls -l
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   48 Aug 15 14:50 Syncthing -> /mnt/Storage1/S1-Share/casaos-symlinks/Syncthing
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 22  2023 Syncthing-old
casaos@CasaOS:/DATA/AppData$

Creation of the symlink worked but when i browsed directories via the web gui the symlink wasn’t there. Browsing went to the original folder… :thinking:

If this above would have worked with some tweeks Please let me know how I could have got it to work.

Another Option is Re-Install OR Migrate CasaOS onto the SATA mount point

Do you have steps to Build from scratch OR migrate the full build of CasaOS to mount points off the SATA connections of the ZimaBoard and permanently boot from that new location?

Build fresh is probably easiest (CasaOS and Docker, ect…).

Please help.

crickets…
I ended up cleaning up logs and moving the DATA folder onto the sda1 drive to get syncthing to working (this is an option during install of the app where you can point the path of the data folder)
OS drive is full again. Need something more perminant.
Plan is to use this (ZimaBoard CasaOS Factory Recovery) after first trying a disc merge.

Thank you.

Is there a post that explains the full software build that the zimaboard is shipped with?
I want to reinstall casaos / docker from scratch only using the sata drive as the OS drive and want to make sure I’m not missing anything.
Does casaos sit on docker? What version or build of docker is used? All software info would be great.
I’m trying to make sure I understand build so I can make sure it’s done right.
Thanks

CasaOS can be installed on Debian or Ubuntu systems, you can install Debian or Ubuntu to a Sata hard drive, and after the installation is completed, enter 'curl -fsSL https://get.casaos.io |‘curl -fsSL | via ssh or command line sudo bash’ to complete the installation of CasaOS.
