Save data from Pi to NAS

[abd7786]

Hi
Planning on using a Raspberry Pi 4gb with 64gb sd card to run the powewall dashboard.

With the continuous writing of logged data i fear that the micro SD card may give up.
Instead of purchasing a ssd, i already have a NAS on the network with no password for a certain folder.

If I mount the NAS storage on the PI using this , would the powerwall-dashboard work fine to write data to the NAS rather than the sd?

As a newbie to coding on the Pi, how could this easily be achieveable?

Thanks!

Good question. I think there are a few things here:

Database

The mounting of a NAS device is a great idea, espeically if the NAS is set up with data guarding (RAID level etc) - If the RPi or the SD card fails, you can easily rebuild one and mount the drive. I assume your idea would be to mount a NAS share to /home/pi or some mount point where you would install the Powerwall-Dashboard

Logs

The docker logs are actually recorded in /var/lib/docker/containers/*/*-json.log - Which means you could use /var/lib/docker/containers as the mount point for your NAS, you could update docker on your system to store those logs in a different location or turn them off all together.

I asked ChatGPT and it gave some help on how to adjust docker, either to disable logs or store them in a different location (e.g. a NAS): https://chat.openai.com/share/51319da2-989a-46e8-802b-6f6b06bf7e89

• Turn them off - Edit /lib/systemd/system/docker.service and --log-driver=none to the ExecStart line.

• Restart:

  sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart docker
