Hello all!
I want to explain my problem.
I’ve setted up all the owncloud system, but it’s saving on the local SD card.
I’ve also connected a USB HDD, and is recognized, formatted in ext4 and so on…
How i can move just the already uploaded files to this hard drive, without losing the configuration ( shared files, folders and so on)?
I don’t want to move the setup of the cloud from the SD card, just the uploaded files and their related config.
This why i would like to save all the stuff, outside the SD card and on the drive, also in the future.
I hope to have been clear, for any mistake or lost info, let me know!
Thanks for the support!
Best Regards
Hi,
I would recommend to move your dietpi user data to the external device. This can be done on drive manager.
Thanks Joulinar ,
I was thinking about it but, once I’ve done it, the used storage remains to 0, instead, the used space on the SD are wins the same
Do you have an idea of why?
Exactly, what is contained onto the user data?
usually it contain all owncloud data located at /mnt/dietpi_userdata/owncloud_data/. And if you moved user data directory using drive manager, the entire folder should have been moved to the external device and a symlink was created inside /mnt pointing to the external device.
I’ve done it…But now I’m not able to see nothing more and the server return status599 to the application…
But if I put everything back on the SD card, is working properly again
I’ve had a deeper look to the files.
Also the log file is included in the user data folder.
Since I use fail2ban as a security system, and the system iteself points to the log file of ownCloud to check wrong login attempts, if I move all the folder, I’m making the system no more working and every thing got stuck…
I need to find a way to change the log file path to fail2ban
This should not be an issue. Your user data directory has a symlink to the new location. Means the old file location is still valid
pls check if all services up and running.
