I finished installing an M.2 SSD on my Openwrt One Router and I need some ideas on how I can use it. Instructions with your ideas much appreciated.
Thank you!
Isn't this a solution in search of a problem?
Or phrased differently, if you don't have a use in mind, probably don't do it (until you do). The OO doesn't need a SSD for normal operations - and if you do need one, you will know why, exactly.
Build your own version of an Apple Time Capsule? That old thing was a wireless all-in-one router with a "big" (for the time) drive used to do backups of network devices using Apple's proprietary "Time Machine" software (my sister had one, so I'm vaguely familiar with them). I usually counsel against putting anything but firewall/router related stuff on the edge device, but this would be a fun experiment to see how secure you could make it.
I don't have a standalone NAS, or any PCs that I want to host shares on, so I use the M.2 SSD in my BPI-R3 as a NFS media share.
I use my one + m.2 as an smb dumping ground for now. So use case exists for it as a basic nas.
Stumbled across this thread as was trying to remember how I got it working before, as had updated firmware.
And I'm back in action again.
But think process goes little something like this.
install utils for fs of choice.
partition drive
install block-mount
reboot
check drive mounted
install share package; I used luci-app-ksmbd so can setup shares via gui
enable guest share access on windows (if needed)
mount the share where needed
Profit
Doesn't look like there are any gui packages for nfs so you may need to tinker some more, but could be wrong; I am half asleep >.<
