Is it possible to get the normal Hass.io HassOS build running via USB on a SSD adapter similar to this: http://a.co/d/3YHewff
I’m wanting to start using the DB and Grafana add-ons and know that the SD card will not do well with lots of writing. I do have a NAS I can hook up to. Any easy way to network that into Hass.io?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Any input on this?
It is currently not available on HassOS. However, I’m told that support for it should be added sometime in the future.
that would be really useful as SD-Cards are not that reliable.
I managed to boot from an SSD on the USB, but then I’m stuck in hass.io not booting well.
I saw a github pr for this in the works.
I have been following PR #318 and Issue #164 https://github.com/home-assistant/hassos/issues/164. The steps outlined in Issue #164 don’t seem to work for me. Can anyone who has had success moving Hassio to SSD/USB drive post the steps they took? Specifically, I would like to run the base Hass.io installation on an RPi 3B+ from a USB flash drive or USB SSD.
I’m interested too. Just waiting confirmation on feasibility and instructions to move to HassOS.
There has been some new developments in this area you guys may be interested in. I will be trying out this new rpi-usb-boot image on an 3b+ with kingston 120gb ssd w/Startech USB3-SATA adapter today:
I’ve already got the image flashed to the ssd, but I think I need to resize partitions and possibly set the boot variable on my b+ before I can flip the switch on it. If this works I will be one happy camper, that’s for sure!
drumroll… SUCCESSFULL!!!
Hard to believe a noob like me was able to do this… I was quite shocked when I saw lovelace pop up the first time, and even more shocked when it rebooted quickly after restoring my snapshot. Anyhow, I’m sure the devs have some polishing to do on this feature before it’s released, but for those of you who’ve been waiting to break out your ssd’s you’ve been saving for hassos… time to party!
I’m posting about this experience here:
Has anyone had any success adding SSD USB ddrive to Rpi4? I know Rpi4 doesnt support usb boot yet but you can have it boot from flash first and then handing over control to SSD USB. I tried following this guide here:
My issues are that when i tried following Tom’s guide i was not able to use Rsync command since it’s not present in Hassos host OS. And when following the other guide modifying /mnt/boot/cmdline.txt seem to have no effect (as in it doesn’t mount the USB drive after boot).
