My Dad has quite the picture collection.
\n>200000(500 GB) of digital images.
\nResting on 2 USB harddisks at home.
\nThat bothered me quite some time.
\nThose 2 disks are the only backup and for us kids nowhere easy to reach.<\/p>\n
So, why not create a solution by myself.
\nIt has to be cheap, really cheap.
\nAnd easy to access.<\/p>\n
Well, 80\u00e2\u201a\u00ac for 3 TB and 10\u00e2\u201a\u00ac for an Orange Pi<\/a>. First, create 2 Samba shares on the PI: That’s it! And no the hard part: „-R 7022:localhost:22“ takes my local ssh port and forwards it to my server as 7022 Because now I am able to sshfs from the remote remote PI via port 8022 the share of Fotos to my local mount point.<\/p>\n Next step: Major downside so far, it is hard to extend. Further clients need way too much skripting, no plug and play. Fun fact, I tried torrent, but a 40MB(?) torrent file for all 200k pictures crashed every client I used;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My Dad has quite the picture collection. >200000(500 GB) of digital images.

\n(and my blog server)
\nThat is all one needs!<\/p>\n
\nFotos and Upload.
\nDad will copy pictures into Upload, from there the PI copies it into the Fotos Share, where he can access them.
\nFotos is mounted read only, there you go, encryption virus, that could possibly infest my dads PC.
\nA small script checks every 5 minutes, whether there is new content in upload.<\/p>\n
\nIt took me 2 Days, to copy all data into that folder and now he has 200k pictures available for all users of his network.
\n(And he crashed Adobe Lightroom with it;))<\/p>\n
\nTake the hardware, duplicate it somewhere.
\nEvery PI now connects to my server via autossh and some magic portforwarding:<\/p>\nautossh -M 20070 -q -f -N -i \/home\/autossh\/.ssh\/id_rsa -o \"ServerAliveInterval 60\" -o \"ServerAliveCountMax 3\" -R 7022:localhost:22 autossh@blog.isnochys.de -R 7888:localhost:8888 -L 8022:localhost:8022<\/code><\/p>\n
\n„-R 7888:localhost:8888“ takes my local RPi Monitoring port and forwards it to my server as 7888
\n„-L 8022:localhost:8022“ takes the remote port 8022 and forwards it to my local port 8022
\nthis is the important part.<\/p>\n
\nSetup script to rsync \/sshfs\/fotos \/mnt\/fotos
\nThis is where I am currently „stuck“
\n20 of 500 G transfered, after a weekend of 100k\/s
\nI will not go higher with the bandwidth as my parents still want to use the internet.

\nMaybe some config file storing on the blog server..idk<\/p>\n
