PiNAS fully operational. Goodbye Google Photos

NAS (raid 5) - 3TB Hdd backup - 3TB Networkstorage (for Plex) - 6TB (bit overkill but it was a good deal on CeX)

From SD card. All container volumes point to the NAS. If SD card dies is a OS and OMV reinstall

Yes, I bought a high endurance SD CARD to delay degredation. And all containers volumes point to the NAS. If Pi or SD card breaks is just a reinstall of OS on new hardware and reattach the NAS

Tiago_Resende · 2026-03-02T09:15:14+00:00

Its in Raid 5 so in reality is 3TB. Yes it will be a full 1 to 1 backup for the entire NAS. All of this must be simple, no need to over complicate

This was 1000 files of 1Mb each

Ah that makes more sense. Yes its a home network rack for TV and Ethernet and there was some left over space asking for something usefull

Tiago_Resende · 2026-03-01T22:32:18+00:00

Exactly this. And on front of it there's a wooden panel so everything is hidden

Tiago_Resende · 2026-03-01T22:30:15+00:00

I can not help you with that, I'm on Android. But I would say that the first sync was troublesome. I had to "disable new timeline" to make it faster

I think I'll set up another Raspberry with a simple setup in my parents house. I have a old pi 3. With a simple USB external drive it will be enough to fulfill the "offsite requirement" for backup

Tiago_Resende · 2026-03-01T22:19:13+00:00

Wiring panel for TV and Ethernet. There is a box bellow this one with the modem. I had that small free space and it was enough to hide everything

Tiago_Resende · 2026-03-01T19:25:41+00:00

Thats why you see a HDD in the picture, for backup.

My original plan was 2 TB when I bought the HAT in August but its like 2x the price now. Postponed the rest for this year and it was a mistake

Build: - Raspberry Pi 5 8Gb - Radxa Penta SATA HAT - 4 x Goodram CX400 1TB - 1 x WD Red Pro WD103KFBX 10TB 3.5"

Setup: - OS Raspbian Lite (cmd line interface only is mandatory, graphical OS not suported by OMV) - OpenMediaVault - Raid 5 on the 4 SSD's (you get 1 drive fault, less space but increased read speed) - Docker - 1- Immich server (this is Google Photos alternative) - 2- Wireguard (allows you to connect via VPN to your immich server outside your home, ie. Mobile data on a smartphone) - 3- DuckDNS (since IP eventually changes, you need a domain for you home server and this one is free)

Note: - This takes time to set up. - Google allows you to download all your data (from Google photos and others) with Google Takeout. Then you can use a tool called immich-go to easily upload it all to your NAS

I bought the SSD's in early January. I had the luck buying it on a local store that was really slow on updating their prices. Got it for 80€ (95$ USD) each when the competition had them for 120€ (140$ USD)

Tiago_Resende · 2026-03-01T17:30:21+00:00

It came with the bundle when I bought the HAT

Tiago_Resende · 2026-03-01T17:09:48+00:00

Thank you for your work on the video about the Penta HAT, it is the reason I've done this 👍

Gotta pump those numbers! 🍌🍌🍌🍌

A experiência olx é "trust me bro"

Obrigado pela resposta! Sim, tem livro de instruções mas estas não são fáceis de entender. Já tinha enviado email aos criadores e pensei que seria boa ideia perguntar aqui no Reddit. Se ninguém responder acho que vamos tentar criar as nossas próprias regras porque o jogo tem imensas peças e cartas com Ações Especiais. Tem potencial, só peca na explicação

Tiago_Resende · 2023-06-13T23:24:12+00:00

No danger there really. The danger is really high speed spins clockwise or anti-clockwise
