DietPi-Sync Details:
DietPi-Sync is a program that allows you to duplicate (sync) a directory from one location (Source) to another (Target).

For example:
If we want to duplicate (sync) the data on our external USB HDD to another location, we simply select the USB HDD as the source, then, select a target location. The target location can be anything from a networked samba fileserver, or even a FTP server.
When we run the sync, the USB HDD data will be duplicated at our selected target.

Launch DietPi-Sync:

Code: Select all

dietpi-sync

Add custom Include and Exclude patterns:
DietPi-Sync uses a set of global include and exclude patterns. You can add your own to either file and it will be read at runtime. Files and folders are supported (eg: /root/* or myfile.txt)
- Include file = /DietPi/dietpi/.dietpi-sync_include
- Exclude file = /DietPi/dietpi/.dietpi-sync_exclude

DietPi-Process Tool Details:
DietPi-Process tool is a program that allows you to control and tweak system wide nice (priority) levels, affinity and scheduler policies, for most software and processes.

Launch DietPi-Process Tool:

Code: Select all

dietpi-process_tool

Your customized settings will be applied automatically by DietPi, and, during boot.

More Information:
Nice:
As all active processes share the same CPU, DietPi-Process Tool allows you to control which processes are more or less important. By setting a higher priority level (nice), the software process will be given more of the CPU shared resources, essentially reducing any delay from other software processes.

Affinity:
For systems with multiple cores, you can control which cores are available for each program.

Scheduler policies:
For time critical programs (eg: audio processes / robotics), setting the scheduler to FIFO/RR will ensure maximum priority and "real-time" execution. Further information.

Example system:
- Your server runs Pi-hole and a web server.
- Pi-hole is the main use of this server, and, you want to reduce any possible delay from other programs.
- So we set Pi-Hole to a higher priority level of nice -10.
- Pi-hole will now be more responsive. Its users should not experience random delays when browsing the web.
