Hi,
DietPi do not have any discord. If you have a question, raise it in this forum or on our GitHub.
but i dont know how to use both
Well you already use the forum as you opened a topic . Just let as know your question.
i will try then… dont hate on me please…
i have now installed dietpi on my Raspberry 3B+
and everything to run as it should, beucase i followed a video…
now my question is that, the sd card that im using is 32gb, and after i flashed dietpi, it went down to 254mb ish
how do i make it, as when i install something lets say Pi-hole etc it goes to the rest of the 32gb?
also can i run multiple projects at once?
Ok let’s start with your first question and have a look to your SD card.
Pls can you share following
df -h
root@DietPi:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 29G 2.3G 26G 9% /
devtmpfs 454M 0 454M 0% /dev
tmpfs 487M 0 487M 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 487M 6.4M 481M 2% /run
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 487M 0 487M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs 1.0G 8.0K 1.0G 1% /tmp
tmpfs 50M 12K 50M 1% /var/log
/dev/mmcblk0p1 253M 50M 203M 20% /boot
ok your system looks fine, all as it should be.
Basically your SD card has 2 partitions now.
1st one is the boot file system (BootFS)
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mmcblk0p1 253M 50M 203M 20% /boot
This one is a vfat file system, therefore you can see it on a Windows box. It’s used to boot the RPi and it’s totally fine to have it not that big.
2nd partition is the so called root file system (RootFS)
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 29G 2.3G 26G 9% /
This one is the main file system where all your data are located on. As this one is formatted with a Linux file system (ext4), you are not able to see it on Windows. It is as well the place where your applications will be installed.
It’s not an issue to run multiple applications next to each other. That’s what DietPi is designed for, to ensure most compatibility between them.
Okay, so it’s actually setup correctly, I don’t need to adjust anything?
Also If I want to install something does it have to be through the “software center(the list of software)” or can I just use the command line like you will do in Ubuntu?
Another another question, now that I have 2x raspberry pi’s 3b+ model and 1x raspberry 3B model
Which is better to install Pihole on? The 3B+ or 3B?

yes, your system has been correctly setup.
oes it have to be through the “software center(the list of software)”
you can install software as well on command line yourself. Usually this should work as well. However using dietpi-software would be recommended to ensure compatibility between applications. Especially for applications like PiHole. Using PiHole own script will install PiHole a different way than we do on DietPi, leading to a web server stack nearly not usable for other web server based apps like NextCloud.

PiHole is not a heavy application and it doesn’t really matter
Thank you soooo much, you have helped me so much! Give this guy a MVP
