Setup Lomorage secondary backup with Raspberry Pi

You can choose the option suits your need.

Option 1 (1 USB hard drive, 1 USB flash drive on same Raspberry Pi)

Raspberry Pi should have no problem to power one USB hard drive, you can even add one more USB flash drive. Since normally, a hard drive is expected to have a much longer lifespan, and USB flash drive has limited number of write/erase cycles, it’s better to use hard drive as the primary storage and USB hard drive.

Option 2 (2 USB hard drive on same Raspberry Pi)

Most likely, Raspberry Pi won’t be able to provide that much power two USB hard drives. You can use the USB hub with power supply, which means the USB hard drive will be powered by the USB hub instead of Raspberry Pi.

Option 3 (2 USB hard drive on 2 separate Raspberry Pis)

It would be safer if you have two setups in different places, the Lomorage OS image already enabled Samba file share service by default, so what you can do it’s actually mount the hard drive of the secondary setup in the the first setup.

For example, if secondary Pi has ip “192.168.1.155”, the driver is mount at “/media/WD_90C27F73C27F5C82”.

One the primary Pi, we can use the following command to mount it, just change the ip address and mount directory according to your setup.

 Setup Covid-19 dashboard using Raspberry Pi | Lomorage
-

It’s hard time for everyone, covid-19 is spreading the world, even though you can easily getting the news on your finger tips, it still helpful to setup a dedicated dashboard to show the statistics and relating news of covid-19. The following gives step by step guide to customize your covid-19 dashboard using Raspberry Pi.

Table of Contents

Prepare

The setup the dashboard, you need Raspberry Pi and a HDMI monitor, you can either use big screen in the living room, or use smaller one on the desk. Notes: This won’t work for Raspberry Pi zero/one, there is no NodeJS support for “armv6l” any more.

How it works

It’s using MagicMirror and covid-19 module.

MagicMirror is an open source modular smart mirror platform, but it doesn’t have to be a mirror, it can be used to setup customized dashboard. MagicMirror is using Nodejs for both client and server, the server provides http service for the dashboard and client is using Electron and run it in Kiosk mode, which is actually running a browser in fullscreen mode, actually you can just one the “server only mode” and open the dashboard in browser on another machine which can access the network.

MagicMirror defines layout below, and you can put dashboard provided by the modules at specific locations.

The modules can define how to fetch the data and how to present it.

That is it!

Installation

If you are using lite image, you need install desktop first to run MagicMirror.

I have ever bought one MyCloud 6T storage to save my photos and videos, but you know, the My Cloud app is not good to use, so everything I have to connect to my phone with USB cable, and keep the computer on to copy the files to MyCloud disk. Now let me introduce how to import / move MyCloud data to Lomorage.

Table of Contents

Config your MyCloud

1. Turn on SSH on MyCloud admin page

Open MyCloud admin web page, on settings, turn on SSH and set the password as tips. Like below picture:

2. Connect to MyCloud with SSH

Use below command to connect MyCloud on SSH client like putty or other SSH client tools.

ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss root@192.168.0.24

CD to nfs folder, check what shared folder there. Below is my case as the picture:

cd /nfs

The Public folder is which I want to mount to Lomorage.

3. Edit exports file on MyCloud

Inside SSH client, run below command:

sudo vi /etc/exports

And copy below line to the bottom of the file:

/nfs/Public 192.168.0.1/24(rw,subtree_check,secure)

192.168.0.1 is your router’s IP, please change to yours real IP.

Then save to exit.

Till now, MyCloud configure is finished.

Mount MyCloud folder to Lomorage server

1. Connect to Lomorage server with SSH

Inside SSH client, run below command:

ssh pi@192.168.0.40

The default password for pi is: raspberry.

2. Mount MyCloud folder

Create new folder under home/pi like below:

cd /home/pi

sudo mkdir mycloud

run below command to mount the MyCloud folder.

sudo mount 192.168.0.24:/nfs/Public /home/pi/mycloud

192.168.0.24 is the MyCloud’s IP, please change yours real IP here.

if up command has error, please run below command.

sudo rpcbind start

then run below command again.

sudo mount 192.168.0.24:/nfs/Public /home/pi/mycloud

3. Check MyCloud mounted folder

Run below command and you will see the files from MyCloud disk. Congratulations, key step is done.

cd /home/pi/mycloud

Start import MyCloud data to Lomorage

1. Scan files

Run below command to scan the mounted folder

cd /opt/lomorage/bin

./lomoc s /home/pi/mycloud

[mycloud is the folder which you mounted from the MyCloud/Public]

It need some time to finish the scanning if you have many assets from MyCloud.

If the scanning finished, run below command to check the files.

~/.lomo

Some assets will be categorized if the EXIF info there. Like below:

pi@raspberrypi-lomorage:~/.lomo/links/unclassfied $ ls -l

Motivation

Lomorage is free private photo cloud solution that puts you in control of your photos and videos. To get best user experience among different platforms, such as iOS, Android, web, it utilizes smaller size thumbnail image to allow the clients to load image faster initially.

At the same time, unlike desktop applications, mobile clients have limited storage, and a good mobile application should take it into consideration and provide better user experience while require system resources as little as possible. Thus, we need a image format which has better compression performance and is widely adopted by majority browsers and native clients.

Many blogs did comparison between JPEG and Webp, but either the number of samples are less, or reports are not focus on smaller size images. In addition, not many blogs compare the performance of Mozilla’s improved MozJPEG encoder. Thus, we decided to run the comparison by ourselves based on our own personal image datasets.

      Price Comparison

      The following comparison only considered the biggest selling point for each category, and assuming the main purpose is photo backup and photo management, so if you need more than that, just go with NAS, or get Orange Pi Zero or other single board computer to DIY yourself if you are expert.

      We are not against cloud storage, it can be as good backup for local storage, and we suggest user keep the local copy.

      For example, the cloud service has different price by storage size, there are other features but it actually makes no difference with different storage sizes; And for the self hosting devices, the price differs by the hardware configurations, there are other features but it actually makes no difference with different configurations. Among all the features, backup is the fundamental requirements, and all other fancy features is built on that.

      Lomorage is more cost efficient and more flexible compared with existing solutions, the software cost you nothing, and even get the hardware setup using Orange Pi Zero is cheaper. If you use the Windows or Mac application, it’s $0. There are some features currently missing but they are planned, and the basic backup feature is solid and stable for almost 2 years, no hidden fees, no lock down, no privacy concern, why not give it a try?

      Compare with cloud service

      The following are yearly fees, those cells leave blank are not available, for example, Apple iCloud only provides 5 GB, 50 GB, 200 GB and 2 TB options, for Lomorage, it would be hard to get new hard drive smaller than 500 GB nowadays.

      Lomorage software is 100% free for the the essential functions, thus here will only take device and energy cost into account, and yearly cost is calculated as depreciation expense. See below for more details.

      Since Lomorage users will use their own hard drive, according to the research published here,

      Generally speaking, you can rely on your hard drive for three to five years on average. The online backup company BackBlaze analysed the failure rates of their 25,000 running hard drives. They found that 90% of hard drives survive for three years, and 80% for four years. But this number varied across brands. Western Digital and Hitachi hard drives lasted much longer than Seagate’s in Backblaze’s study.

      Assuming the average of hard drive use for 4 years, and setup duplicate backup to ensure safety. So the price for storage price per year will be hard drive * 2 / 4, and let’s assume you upgrade it for more powerful and efficient one every 4 years like computer, plus the extra USB hub which assuming last 4 years. The equipment cost per year will be (hard drive * 2 + Orange Pi Zero + usb hub) / 4 , plus the $5 energy cost per year, the total cost will be (hard drive * 2 + Orange Pi Zero + usb hub) / 4 + 5 per year.

      How comes the name “Lomorage”?

      If you know what Lomography is, then “Lomorage” is just a combination of “Lomography” and “Storage”.

      What is the cost of Lomorage?

      Software is free, and user can buy hardware according to their needs, you can use Orange Pi Zero which will cost you less than $20. Check here for more details on cost for different configurations. No hidden fees.

      How to setup redundancy backup?

      If you are running Lomorage service on macOS (Windows haven’t support yet), you can open the settings window of LomoAgent application, and set the redundancy backup there.

      If you are running Lomorage service on Raspberry Pi, you can plugin in a new disk drive, and open iOS client APP, go to settings tab and set the redundancy backup there.

      What file systems supported?

      If you are on Windows or macOS, then you can use whatever file system supported by Windows or macOS.

      If you are on Raspberry Pi, it supports “vfat exfat ext2 ext3 ext4 hfsplus ntfs fuseblk”.

      Why folders named with date time seem not correct on hard drive?

      The date time used to store on the system is in UTC, not the time of local timezone, the reason is that the photo can be taken in different timezones, and the user may travel or relocate to different timezones, to simplify the processing, we use UTC timestamp, and it can easily convert to different timezones on the APP.

      How to setup a secondary backup?

      There are several options to setup a secondary backup, check this blog for more details.

      Does Lomorage support backup edited file?

      On iOS, if photo is edited, system will store the original photo, the edited one, as well as the editing operations, Lomorage will store ONLY the edited photo. For edited video, system will store the video before last editing, the editing operations as well as the edited one, and Lomorage will ONLY store the edited video.

      If you would like to store the file before editing, make sure you have backup the edited one first, and then you can revert the editing in Apple’s “Photos APP”, and then upload those files before editing.

      What is background backup?

      Background backup means you don’t need to open Lomorage app to backup the assets.

      Background backup on iOS is not expected to work the same way as iCloud, Apple restricts 3rd party tools to run in the background. Currently there is only two hacks to trigger Lomorage running in the background, one is background fetch, which might be triggered when system is idle, another one is triggered when significant location changes, that is why background backup requires location permission. Both won’t last long and can only run in background for a limited time.

      Moving Lomorage app into background, the existing upload is still running in the background but the next upload has to wait either it’s back to foreground or the above two hack condition triggers the upload.

      How to recover from Raspbian boot failure?

      Don’t worry, your Photo are stored on hard drive, and the database is backup to hard drive as well. You just need to recovery the backup database.

      1. plugin in your hard drive to PC, and you can find that assets.db in each user’s Lomorage home directory, they are exactly the same.
      2. reinstall Lomorage Raspbian image.
      3. attach hard drive to Raspberry Pi.
      4. copy assets.db from one user’s Lomorage home directory on hard drive to /opt/lomorage/var/ on Raspberry Pi.
      5. restart Lomorage service on Raspberry Pi: sudo service lomod restart.

      This applies to Armbian setup as well.

      I forget password, how to reset?

      Don’t worry, you can alway reset password by running /opt/lomorage/bin/lomoc reset passsword --db /opt/lomorage/var/assets.db [user name] [password] at Linux. username is username reset for, and password is new password you like to use.

      And if you are using Mac LomoAgent, you can reset user’s password in user list by clicking “Users” menu.

      For Windows and MacOS, you can change the password in GUI.

      What can it do besides photo backup and management?

      Lomorage is focus on photo backup and management and our current goal is to make it easy to use, stable and reliable. But we are using a customized open Linux platform, so if you need some of those features on expensive NAS, you should be able to install the alternatives, for example you can install Transmission for downloading, and Jellyfin for media center, samba share is enabled by default for backup other files.

      What is the size of storage?

      Lomorage relies on external storage and supports all types of hard drive and flash disk.

      Can it connected with multiple hard drives?

      Yes, but you need powered USB hub to support multiple hard drives.

      Can I use spare hard drive?

      Yes, you don’t need reformat the disk to use Lomorage, and it supports all major file systems(FAT32, NTFS, EXT etc).

      Does it support hard drive sleep?

      Yes, once no activity on hard drive, it goes to sleep mode automatically, and will wake up once you access the hard drive。

      How to install?

      Connect hard drive via USB, connect ethernet, power on, and download Lomorage APP.

      How to view the backup photos?

      You can use Lomorage APP on iOS or Android, or you can use the Web APP, or you can access via samba, or even access the hard drive directly. We also have Android TV APP.

      Does it support remote access?

      Yes, you can use 3rd party reverse proxy tunnel service(like ngrok), or you can set port mapping on router.

      Does it support export from backup to Phone?

      Yes, currently works on iOS, you can “Save” those backups locally, and local will keep a copy, if you save it locally on multiple devices, you will have multiple copies and delete the copy won’t delete the original backup.

      Can’t upgrade server in Linux?

      We have change the repository link from “lomorage.github.io” to “lomoware.lomorage.com”, please change “/etc/apt/sources.list.d/lomoware.list” accordingly.
