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.

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.

2.png
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.

When is a IP address ban triggered?
By default, after 6 failed SSH login attempts, fail2ban will ban the source IP address for 10 minutes.

Enable support for additional programs:
Fail2Ban supports brute-force protection for other software (eg: Apache, proftpd etc).
You can enable/disable these features by modifiying the /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf file, and setting enable = true under the [software] name.
