I can recover all, but the time to redownload will be too long :)
If i goes to raid5 i lost one disk of space, to go to raid6 i have to lost 2 disks.
Its a pesonal proyect, and the motherboard has only 6satas, one of them used by the SO disk, and i want to be able of upgrade it in a future...
That is a clever aproach, and its just my caseuse, two 12 TB, about 19TB used.
And its for a personal project, so, i don't have any hurry.
Only for clarification several days could be 1 or 2 weeks or we are talking of more time?
Yes, dietpi is main for SBC, but also has an iso for PCs, its and old computer with 6 sata ports
Interesting, i think it will be made for my usecase. i'll check it
Thanks for your answer!!
I know its not backup, but, for me, its the sweet point between money and security. Not only for this 2 hard disk, also for the capacity of add more HDs and don't have all redundancy.
Thanks for your answer!!
Hello,
I am going to upgrade my server, taking advantage of the fact that I am going to be able to put more hard disks, I wanted to take advantage of this to give a little more security (against loss) to my data.
Currently I have 2 hard drives in ext4 with information, and wanted to buy a third (same capacity all three) and place them in raid5, so that in the future, I can put more hard drives and increase the capacity.
Due to economic issues, right now I can only buy what would be the third disk, so it is impossible for me to back up the data I currently have.
The data itself is not valuable, in case any file gets corrupted, I could download it again, however there are enough teras (20) to make downloading everything a madness.
In principle I thought to put on this server (PC) a dietpi, a trimmed debian and maybe with mdadm make the raid. I have seen tutorials on how to do it (this for example https://ruan.dev/blog/2022/06/29/create-a-raid5-array-with-mdadm-on-linux ).
The question is, is there any way without having to format the hard drives with data?
Thank you and sorry for any mistakes I may make, English is not my mother language.
EDIT:
Thanks for yours answers!! I have several paths to investigate.
This means that i can make a game with this rules and dont havent to pay?
i don't know this was an option, so, if i buy this disk shelf, and still using my sbc that gives me enough power for my services, and add this has "a hard drive"?
I have to get more info about this option, thanks!!
added this info in the post, is really usefull and i don't think about it. Thanks!!!
I currently have an Odroid H4C that has two SATA with two 12TB hard drives.
It's starting to get too small, so I was thinking of taking the step and move to a 4/5 bays NAS and reuse the disks (the other option was to add disks via USB).
What NAS do you recommend me to continue being able to have my *ARR suite + torrent + nextcloud + syncthing + small services(gitea, trillium notes, etc)?
I would like to already have some redundancy, can I use the hard drives as they are or will I have to do something to them besides adding other hard drives? (my idea was to add one more disk of 12 to have redundancy and already expand space with a fourth disk)
Edit:
I wan't to buy and forget, so no to build myself.
I really don't think in any budget, but as cheat as can be, without loss any funcionality that i stated before.
I run my services mostly in docker
Currently stream in my lan without any web, in samba folders but jellyfin could be interesting (not Plex, trying to FOSS to maximum)
The redundancy is for data safe
Thanks for your answers
i've got a RPI and other SBC, once month, make a copy of the MicroSD card, as the data is in the HD
I think you should blurr your phone too
THanks!! that is!!
I don't know it even was a thing :)
When i try to install an error message appears because there is no version of the game for my SO. https://i.imgur.com/0bVY5la.png
The part about the SD card, its becouse i can start in windows in the desktop and install from there the demo, but i don't have this option from the steamdeck
When i click in download, it said that there is no version for my OS as i can't assign a compatibility layer beforehand.

I'm running the same game library for the games, alongside other HD in NTFS, for about a year and until now, no problems.
Hi, all
How do you install a demo from steam, i have strugling both in steamdeck and mint.
Currently to test some games in desktop i have the work around of install under windows (the library is shared between linux and windows steams).
But in steamdeck i dont have a microsd with windows.
Thanks
I recommend you to check casaos. It's a frontend for docker containers with his own "app store" with all you want and more easily configurable.
Maybe is not for you, as is so easy that maybe you don't learn anything, but maybe it's a way to start and investigate without frustrating blocks.
I feel myself at the same level than you, and currently investigating how to setup a DNS + VPN server, only for fun/learn
Hi,
Some friends publish to a reddit, i want to selfhost a lemmy instance and make a backup of this reddit.
Its posible? in some automatic way?
regards
I can hide some crap that plays my cousin like tabs or goat simulator...
Currently I'm using casaOS that does the deployment automatically. I installed portainer to have more control of the containers.
I'm going to read both links. Thanks!!
I just started to selfhosting services and want to try with the *Arr ecosystem. What newbie tutorial recomend for start with it?
I am currently learning by deploying docker containers in rpi5
Thanks for your time and patience
Will be +1 when have official support for the poco X5 pro. (If I can pay with mobile)

I'm searching for some courses and books that apear in some humble bundles. It's there any "mirror" where this content is stored?
Also interested in the same content if not from a humble bundle
I was updating my apps when I see this capture of infinity/eternity...
At first I don't understand it, after that I think that is curious that the images where personalized, and then realized that you only used my post for the screen.
Sorry for the offtopic but I was in the needed of share it XD
Edit: adding the capture https://we.tl/t-Cwr2QZy68G
