Hi all
I want to buy an Odroid-HC4 and install os and syncloud on it.(SSD)
I don’ see a documentation about how install syncloud software on this drive.
I don’t want the operating system and syncloud applications to be on an SD card.
Do you have a solution ?
Pierre
Right, unfortunately what we do with HC4 by default at the moment is OS on internal SD card and external 2 disk raid setup (can do only 1).
It is a bit difficult to do OS on raid disk itself but everything is possible in theory so if you feel up to it you can try.
Hi Boris,
On the model H that i bought in January 2022, the SD card is not use.
I don’t need RAID
I agree to buy you an H4 with 1TB SSD if you can configure to boot without SD card as on your old H model .
Regards.
Pierre
HC4 has a double disk “the toaster” design specificity for redundancy purposes if you do not need the second disk you may want to consider more powerful N device or any other x86 device you can find like Intel NUC.
Hi Boris
I started my new device on the image syncloud-odroid-hc4-23.09.img.xz download from the site .
I see that is a Debian 10.13 
end LT Support June 2024.
and actually on this version Security updates have been discontinued as of June 30th, 2022.
Do you have plan to upgrade to debian 12 yours images ?

Hi Boris,
Hello boris
Isn’t this the solution to install syncloud directly on the SSD?
Regards.
Pierre
I do but to make it clear apps do not use any lib from OS, all isolated and latest to some extent. OS is there only to boot kernel and start apps. What I really want is to minimize the use of OS tools even more and then move to ubuntu core or something similar to be able to upgrade OS “in-place”. If this does not happen within a year I will probably do another debian image upgrade.
This is how we install syncloud platform into a bare debian os and it does not really tell how os is booted and where root file system is mounted.
We have this workaround for root filesystem on SATA but only for old devices HC1 and 2: Odroid HC1 2 · syncloud/platform Wiki · GitHub
Hi Boris
With the HC4 you can install OS by netboot installer with PetiBoot
Look at this video
I install and give you feedback.

Calibre same thing

Sorry, we do not really have resources to support syncloud platform install on custom distros, we make it open source so people have an option to make it work having the right experience.
