How to add external storage? #1497

How to add external storage to the existing Umbrel install? I tried changing the user's home directory on the external drive, but nothing changed storage-wise.

Using multiple drives for an Umbrel installation is not yet officially tested or supported yet. But right this second for your second drive I would suggest reinstalling on the external drive you intend to use or sticking with whichever has more storage space - whichever drive you intend to use for Umbrel to avoid any errors. Installing again should only take a few moments, and shouldn't be a problem if you haven't started the Bitcoin sync yet.

You can install Umbrel on the other drive by using this installation command for installing Umbrel on the other drive:

curl -L https://umbrel.sh | bash -s -- --install-path path/to/external/drive

Replacing path/to/external/drive to the directory you'd like to install in, if you leave it as drive Umbrel will install in its root.

(There is also a way here to migrate Bitcoin blockchain data) Though stay tuned, the Umbrel team is hard at work on making migration much easier in the very very near future!
