Cool, youre not running LibreELEC on this Pi then?

My backup plan for additional cooling if needed, is simply to use a 'cooling fan pad' like this.

Just put the pi in the FLIRC case on top of it and youve got all that surface area of the case, combined with active airflow.

I am running LibreELEC on this raspberry pi 5. I have decided to cut down on as much devices as i possible can, and bake it into one device in total. At the moment this is working kinda good, in the future when i am going to expand to a bigger filesystem it's going to create some problems and i will be forced to run two devices. Mostly because LibreELEC does not support raid, and using raid over USB is not a good idea. I could build a sata NAS out of it with some additional plugin hardware for the raspberry pi devices, but then the bottleneck would still be LibreELEC's lack of raid, LVM and whatnot.

I am running the stock fan cooler on my RPi 5 with some pibow case. The ninja one to be more specific.

Pibow Coupe 5 (Case for Raspberry Pi 5) – Ninja (pimoroni.com)

However i believe that the flirc case would have been better regarding the sound level this thing can create sometimes, with the caveat that metal cases causes a lower performance for the Wi-Fi connection.

Set a link at /storage/.config/autostart.sh:

Bash

#!/bin/sh

(
    ln -s /dev/disk/by-uuid/<YOUR_DRIVE_ID> /var/media/hddpath
) &

i did it like this

#!/bin/sh

(
    ln -s /dev/disk/by-uuid/53971acb-b470-4e13-86e0-214bdc22f621 /var/media/sda1-ata-KINGSTON_SNV2S20
    ln -s /dev/disk/by-uuid/e60c7dc1-9f50-4088-9686-2ce42f3f55b9 /var/media/sda1-ata-KINGSTON_SNV2S20/complete/tv2
) &

and the first drive gets mounted at /var/media/sda1-ata-KINGSTON_SNV2S20 and the second one at /var/media/sdb1-ata-Samsung_SSD_840_

inside /var/media/sda1-ata-KINGSTON_SNV2S20 there is a symlink 53971acb-b470-4e13-86e0-214bdc22f621 -> /dev/disk/by-uuid/53971acb-b470-4e13-86e0-214bdc22f621

and inside /var/media/sda1-ata-KINGSTON_SNV2S20/complete/tv2 there is a symlink /dev/disk/by-uuid/e60c7dc1-9f50-4088-9686-2ce42f3f55b9

not exactly what i wanted?

ok, how do i get this so survive a reboot?

I have two usb hard drives, and everytime i reboot they get a new /dev/sdX and thus a new /var/media/hddpath. How can i prevent this from happening?

Read my first post again

Dont know how to map it

Nah the only thing that i have done is upgrading the firmware through LE configuration tool. But i have reinstalled two times since then. And one of the times was with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (in order to get the fan to shut up).

I think that’s the issue. The container only sees the limited bits of filesystem you expose to it, so doesn’t have permission to walk the filesystem from the symlink to the original file.

Mhm ok. How would i solve this? Just manually copy them over? And then redo the process each time they get updated ..whenever they get updated?

Quote from chewitt

Different locales/charactersets?

e.g. cmdline.txt and сmdline.txt appear identical but the second starts with the Russian letter 's' (looks like English c)

Aha okey, i have set language inside kodi to swedish.

Idk, it was just something odd i found

Quote from chewitt

You probably need to map the folder the app inside the container expects to find the file under, to the folder on the host that the file actually resides in, using appropriate permissions.

in other words, don't do symlinks?

While reading this i realize that i have two cmdline.txt files in my /flash directory. How is this even possible?

I have made a symlink for jellyfin to the ssl cert, was this a bad practise?
I cannot (by default atleast) access the direct path to this ssl file.

This is the permission and ownership of that file

I use a Pi5 in a FLIRC case and no matter what type of content I am playing, temps are under 55c. Completely passive cooling. The CPU will run to over 85c before thermal throttling occurs.

I should have gone with passive cooling for sure!

Now i do more than just play media on my raspberry pi 5, i also host a couple of docker containers such as qbittorrent, autobrr, swag, jellyfin, gluetun and duckdns.

Temp right now is 52.7c without playing any media and the RPi5 has been online but idle over the night

I can add to this that i installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS again, let it update and then installed LE once more and the fan is acting normal.

My wild guess is that this has something to do with the firmware update (through the LE configuration addon).

I have one cli created container that does start at boot without the restart argument. It's autobrr for the record.

Which is kinda odd, and i installed that one first, otherwise it would have been somewhat "obvious" that the restart argument is requierd.

The docker containers installed through the repo is starting at boot, but the ones i have installed through the command line does not. Even tho they work perfectly fine when they are up running, they don't come up after a reboot.

Only one is added with --restart unless-stopped \

The others are not.

EDIT: Adding --restart unless-stopped \ to one other container solved it. It is weird tho because one does not have this enviroment variable and that one does start at boot.

Where should i put the daemon.json file for docker? Normally it's /etc/docker/daemon.json

OK =)
This one i have looked for but cannot for the love of addons find the command.

tree (command to display all subfolders in a folder)

Just installed LE on my RPi5 and the fan blowing on 100% capacity at all times, even tho the temps are 36c? Wth is going on? I have reinstalled and it does this out of the box?

It worked fine when i was running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on it like 30 mins ago
