Clone Device / Backup to Multiple devices

  • Hello everyone,

    We use a single profile on one TV in our household. I would like to install two more Kodi instances in the bedroom and hobby room.

    Since my “master system” is all set up, I thought I could make a backup of Libreelec and install it on the other two systems. After the recovery, I would then change the computer name and IP address on each system.

    Is this a good, feasible way or not a good idea?

  • It should work fine, but since all three devices are network connected it's easier (after basic install, and assuming all three devices are the same, e.g. all RPi4 boards) to stop Kodi on the new devices and then scp the existing config/bits over from the master system to the new ones, then restart Kodi. I would scp the the contents of /storage/.kodi/addons and /storage/.kodi/userdata only.

    Code
    scp -r /storage/.kodi/addons [email protected]:/storage/.kodi
    scp -r /storage/.kodi/userdata [email protected]:/storage/.kodi
