Installation on External Storage #33

Closed loyukfai closed 11 months ago

loyukfai commented 11 months ago

Is there a way to install on external storage (e.g. USB)?

Most router's built-in storage is not big enough.

Cheers.

I haven't tried this approach but you may move all your overlay to external storage. https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/additional-software/extroot_configuration

But if you ext storage is big enough, you could try to install HA in docker to ext storage if your architecture supports it.

extroot seems overkill for me 😅

I just want to install HA and relevant stuffs to external storage. Right now, all the Python stuffs are already too big for internal storage...

Cheers

Sorry someone on OpenWrt forum just reminded me that most routers probably wouldn't have enough memory to run HA.

Forget it.

Yes, it works with this instruction (https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/additional-software/extroot_configuration)
