• an OTP option or the DIY Raspberry Pi option

    I'm about to lose all of my Pi setups for (mini) NAS, home assistant, pihole etc...

    They just aren't stable enough - my guess (and it is just a wild guess) is because of power problems.

    UPS would be fairly straight forward, no? Just plug a USB battery pack in series.

    redundancy rabbit-hole

    I have an OTP NAS that is mirrored to WD MyCloud (terrible interface, terrible NAS OS, but does the basics), which is in turn synced to locally to a desktop and then to my own S3 VPS.

    [Edit] just looked at your links. I have the MyCloud EX2 Ultra.

    Don't get it.

    As I mentioned - it does the basics, but it's a very locked down OS / virtual container, and i've had to do some fragile af fuckery on it to make it work as I would like (e.g. having seamless integration with my desktop over ssh).

    At the risk of teaching grandmother to suck eggs, what are you powering them with?

    I've got one of these that was recommended on here and zero stability problems:

    This is with one Pi running a Pi Hole and Unifi Controller and another running Home Assistant OS with a Home Assistant setup which is now fairly complex...

    Storage could also be an issue, I've got a gold A++++ or whatever rated micro SD card in the Pi Hole / controller but a NVME SSD for my Hassio setup (which did corrupt once when I was using an El cheapo micro SD but has been all good since).

    To say I'm no expert on this shit is an understatement but as I understand it stability issues are normally power or storage presuming everything is installed correctly.

  • I've got one of these

    Me too. All the Watts.

    Ditto on the fancy schmancy cards.

    I'm probably viewing it a little negatively at the moment, as my Hassbian Pi3b is inaccessible at the moment, as it one of my Pi-Hole Zeroes

    I'm tempted to just chuck everything on an old laptop instead.
