I have OpenWrt (OpenWrt 21.02.3, r16554-1d4dea6d4f) installed on my Raspberry Pi 4 (4 GB). I have installed a Docker container host on it. To store the Docker data, I mounted an external SSD. Up to this point, things are still looking good.
Now I have the problem that larger images are not downloaded and extracted.
if you are using the docker web interface there is a time out after x seconds. Its why i do my docker pulls from the SSH interface where it will not time out.
(edit)
This pulls new images for all images in your docker repository. pullall.sh
I have a fast internet connection(75 MBit/s). For me it took hours. As you can see in the first screenshot the extraction stops for a while. It seems that the whole system is hanging.
Which image and which filesystem are you using? I suspect that my memory card or anything else is causing problems.
My SSD is NTFS formated. Should I use a differently file system?
Maybe it is a solution to remove the memory card and use the ssd as the main drive.
i'm using a R4S image on EXT4. you ideally should be using ext4 for a linux system. NTFS is microsofts filing system and the inkernal NTFS driver is... not the best. Paragon software are trying to get their driver added to the kernel but that effort has stalled.
I am using squashfs on the sdcard because I had troubles to install docker, when using ext4.
When I am back at home I will provide the error message. Maybe you can help me to get docker running.
What do you recommend ext4 or squashfs? The Pi does not have a „reset“ button so I do not take an advantage out of squashfs. What do you think?
Found the reason. Just bought a new performant micro sd card (ScanDisk Extreme Pro) and the image was pulled in about 6 minutes to sd-card.
Thank you for your help.
