DietPi NAS setup, advise wanted

no problem, i was hijacked by work and later with corona
gladly back up now!

Hi,

where can I find the guide? I tried to open the link but the page is empty.

Thanks

the share has been removed as I did not find time to review the guide.

Hi everybody,
can someone share the NAS setup guide with me too?
I can’t find anything online.
Thanks in advance

I’m sorry, I’m not going to share the guide as I’m not the author. But I addressed the topic internally. Maybe we will create some blog entry describing such a solution.

I followed https://www.ricmedia.com/build-raspberry-pi3-raid-nas-server/. Just make sure to use /mnt/nas1 or something instead of just /mnt.

Super happy with it. Hardware is a Flirc case, two Startech SATA to USB adapters and two WD Red SSDs in RAID 1.

Then followed https://www.cloudsavvyit.com/577/how-to-sync-files-from-linux-to-amazon-s3/ to backup up daily to S3 Glacier.

Hi Joulinar

finally found some time last weekend to Flash DietPi and run it on the RockPro64.

After the standard setup, I changed the two default passwords
I installed Nextcloud

But now I cannot login with <local_IP>\nextcloud using ‘admin’ and the personal password as the FAQ says!?

https://dietpi.com/docs/software/cloud/#nextcloud

did you changed the password before installing NextCloud or afterwards?

Anyway you could try following https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/21/admin_manual/configuration_user/reset_admin_password.html

Thx, will have look toninght.

Changed the passwords directy after flashing / first boot of Dietpi

After this I installed Nextcloud by ID Selection

Do you use any special characters inside your password?

small and capital letters, numbers and a @

an @ is not that special i gues?

after installing nextcloud I suspected to get a setup screen, to setup email, login, domain, etc, but there wasnt

Nextcloud is preconfigured with the admin user. Usually you simply login and can configure it to your needs.

$ sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ user:resetpassword admin
sudo

gives me the result

Successfully reset password for admin

But the WebIf (via my laptop) still gives me the error ‘Wrong username or password.’

Now I was looking into the keyboard configuration of Dietpi, it was set to ‘GB - Generic 105-key PC (intl.)’.

Maybe this keyboard has a different layout then a normal QWERTY layout, so @ is at another location?

Now I set it to 'Microsoft Office - English (US) - Default keyboard layout

Again reset the nextcloud password, now I can login at the WebIf via my Laptop

And changed the general DietPi password with the new keyboard layout too

probably, you could have tried typing into normal command line to see what characters it has.

yes, the @ was actually "

hemertje Can I have a quick look at your manual as well please? I am struggling with setting up my PiNas as I am not able to transfer more data than the size of my SD to my USB3-HDD for some reason… Perhaps I can find out what I did wrong using your manual as I cannot find my answer online

are you sure the target directory is located on your USB HDD? Probably the target is located on SD card still

Found the solution in a general rpi board:
Instead of having the samba mount /mnt i needed to replace this to /mnt/USBHDD

nevertheless still interested in that manual :wink:

we have a small docs section on SAMABA. As well how to change target directory on SAMBA conf

Hi guys,

back again to pick this NAS hobby project back alive :wink:

Flashed the Rockpro64 with the latest DietPi v8.12 firmware :facepunch:

I want to start from scratch with the latest software versions to build my NAS with the RockPro64:

• NZBGet
• Fail2Ban
• Pi-hole
• Samba
• OpenVPN
• Dropbear
• Firewall
• Ubiquiti Unifi Controller
• ACME.sh Let’sEncrypt SSL
• DDNS updater (Gandi)
• Monitoring Stack, Influxdb + Grafana
• Full logging system with Logrotate
• Nextcloud
• Anti-Virus
• Backup to a Synology system

Can I standard install from Dietpi-software
• Nextcloud with Fail2Ban

Or use the extended Debian Nextcloud manual from

or installationscript:

including the Self-signed // Let’s Encrypt certificates?

What to prefer?
