snapraid-runner VS docker-snapraid

Yeah this is what I do now. I also use SnapRAID-Runner to provide some extra automation and email notifications. Its a bit less 'safe' than drivepool 2x duplication and doesn't provide the read-striping performance improvements but it does give a single mountpoint for all the drives, makes better use of total disk space and lets you use mis-matched drive sizes.

You just need to use a scheduler and execute Snapraid Runner Script.

a. git clone https://github.com/Chronial/snapraid-runner.git /opt/snapraid-runner

I use mergers and snapraid and monitor my disks using smartmontools. I have the following line in my smartd.conf: DEVICESCAN -o on -H -l error -l selftest -t -s (L/../01/./08) -m [email protected] My postfix main.cf: relayhost = 192.168.0.27:8025 I then run https://github.com/YoRyan/mailrise in a docker on both my NUC VM Hosts which converts smtp emails to pushover messages. Every night at 1AM 0 1 * * * python3 /root/scripts/snapraid-runner.py -c /root/scripts/snapraid-runner.conf > /dev/null 2>&1 I run a snapraid sync and scrub using script from https://github.com/Chronial/snapraid-runner and scrub 20 percent of the array every night. I have it set to only email on error but you can have it email on success as well. I also use the SMART Application in LibreNMS (https://docs.librenms.org/Extensions/Applications/#smart) to graph the temperatures as well handle the temperature alerting.

Just looking to move to SnapRAID from Greyhole, and I notice a lot of chatter regarding https://github.com/Chronial/snapraid-runner.

I am just getting snapraid up and running. I've seen a few different scripts to automate it. Two that have caught my eye are snapraid-runner, which seems commonly suggested. I also saw this script by Zack Reed, and it seems promising as it automates some other items (like pausing docker containers).

I am currently using https://github.com/Chronial/snapraid-runner as my runner every 4am and currently I am experiencing syncing my CCTV folder which always change because of the recording, and as well as my download folder.

For more info, I installed snapraid using the docker method where it builds it inside a container then deletes the iamge and container and now the executable is usable.

I use snapraid-runner python script, and I installed snapraid using the docker https://github.com/ironicbadger/docker-snapraid method to not have all the dependencies on my machine and it's been working fine for about a year or so.

a. apt update && apt install git -y mkdir ~/tmp && cd ~/tmp git clone https://github.com/IronicBadger/docker-snapraid cd docker-snapraid chmod +x build.sh ./build.sh sudo dpkg -i build/snapraid-from-source.deb b. Verify installation `snapraid --version` c. Delete `docker-snapraid` d. SnapRAID configuration `nano /etc/snapraid.conf`
