Well I'll keep it in mind for if I get any issues but it seems to be running ok ATM with USB ports passed through to OMV and then CIFS back to Proxmox so I can save backups.
As it is, at most 2 drives will be in use at a time with the third as a backup drive doing rsync at night (still to set up).
I'm not using flash storage. These are proper spinning Hard Drives with a usb 3 cable (and a power cable) to the host.
Not quite there yet. I need to add the CIFS connection to Proxmox now to save to the drives (I'll have to do a little research). I still have to set up the Google Drive add-on in Home Assistant again, and set it up properly this time so it actually schedules backups.
Also need to figure out how to off site backup my Proxmox backups. More research
Edit: worked out CIFS to Proxmox now, got a backup solution. Just have to work out how to get them off-site but I could maybe have my PC pull the files for now and maybe sync to Drive as off-site.
Edit2: Gdrive add-on added and set up in Home Assistant now.
I'm giving you these updates because you held me to account on the backup side, and I appreciate that. I had my head in setting my server back up, not back-ups. So thanks!
Funnily enough I was looking at these usb Sata cases yesterday, but I was expecting them to be cheaper then they are (I'm a Yorkshireman and we're notorious for not liking spending money).
As to your point (which I will look into) are you talking about an actual external Hub here or the USB in my machine? I ask because I have 5 usb 3.0 ports on the machine and do not actually use an external hub, but when you use the word "hub" you could also be referring to the USB controller on the machine.
Also I haven't dabbled with RAID yet but I had considered it, so this may sway me to invest some money before considering it properly.
Yeah I was considering passing usb though, or even nofail mounting usb instead of UUID.
They're sata connection but my host is a tiny pc with minimal internals. I just had the drives lying around so decided to try a USB to Sata cable which worked until it didn't. That's why usb.
I did not realise that Proxmox would fail if the devices did, and I'm a little annoyed I didn't notice it on Sunday when it died for the first time, because I started fresh and ended up losing YEARS worth of Home Assistant automations.
Live and learn.
I'm so glad to read this, incredibly useful app that is just a bit shit
I'm not as knowledgeable as some in here but in my short experience I can say I bought something with 16gb of RAM and while it is currently doing everything I want it to, it's using 12gb ram currently...
Oh, sorry I'm no help then
I thought iframes had been phased out in the latest release of HA? It's webpages in views now isn't it? Try updating and having another go (I updated yesterday and haven't had a play yet but heard about it on the HA podcast btw)
Thomann crew checking in! Bought my first "real" guitar from them and she's still my favourite despite being given a Les Paul by Bowling For Soup this year. I really should play that baby
My arse quacks like a duck
I'll try that asap!
No rush, take your time. HA OS was pretty simple to get running, you'll just have to learn how to pass through your usb (top tip, just have that one usb plugged in then you only have 1 device to choose from).
Learn how to make a backup (HA has an add-on called Google Drive Backup that's REALLY useful) just in case you tinker and kill something.
Above all, don't kick yourself for making mistakes, it's how we learn.
I feel this post a bit.
I'm halfway through getting the id3 tags right on 40gb of music I pulled from an old iPod I have in the car.
I'm using music brainz I think it's called, which uses media monkey as a backend. I'm scanning my library into this app and it's putting the tracks into album files (they're just chucked in artists folders at the mo, the iPod fucked the naming) and getting all the tags right.
Now I have this library on a NAS which I've pointed Squeezebox at in the house, and outside I use Plex Amp.
While I'm running the files through the music Brainz app thing, I'm seeing all the albums appearing in there instead of 1 album with 300 tracks.
Anyway long answer short, I'm having no issues with Plex Amp, just point Plex at your music and download the Plex Amp app
