And the best part is that you can do this all live! So you do not have to unmount the drive, how nice is that?! I am assuming that you have connected it via USB 3.0, so the instructions will be for sda1. When that is installed, check to see where your drive is mounted at by doing: When you have the SSH session up, install ‘cloud-init’ (as we need the “growpart” module from it.) You will need to start a SSH session on your Umbrel node after you plug in the new drive. If the drives are different sizes (such as 500GB–>750GB,1TB,2TB, etc.). If the drives are the same size, then you’re all done! You should now be able to plug in the new drive on your Umbrel node. Maybe clean up your desk while you’re at it? heheh The process will begin, and may take a while. Now it will ask if you’d want to save the backup options, uncheck “Save backup and schedules as an XML Backup Defintion File”. It will give you a summary of what it will do, be sure that if you’re migrating/cloning from HDD to a SSD that “SSD Trim” is showing a “Y”, otherwise cancel the clone. It will ask you if you’d like to schedule it, just click on Next > BE SURE THAT YOU SELECT THE CORRECT DISK! (This disk should be left unformatted and having NO file system!)

It will prompt you to choose the disk you’d want to clone/migrate towards. You will see the option to “Clone this disk…” as soon you checkmark the drive. I am assuming you have already shutdown your Umbrel node, if not – you have 2 choices: via the Web UI: Dashboard > Settings > ‘System’ ShutdownĢa) When it prompts you this message: “What Free edition licence do you require?” Choose “Home”Ģb) When it prompts if you’d like to register the installation, uncheck that.Ģc) Continue as you want (choose the installation directory, or leave at default)Ģd) It gives you the option to launch the program.Ĭhoose the drive you want to clone/migrate by checkmarking it.

The drive you’re migrating/cloning towards (any size, as long it is identical or bigger than the “from” drive)īackup your 24 secret words and the lightning channels, if you haven’t done so! Better safe than sorry! The drive you’re migrating/cloning from (any size) TL DR: version – scroll all the way down.Ģ USB 3.0 enclosures or whatever interfaces/enclosures you use for your drives. So if anyone would like to make instructions for Linux, or Mac, feel free to do so. Currently I only have Windows instructions. This guide is for anyone who needs to migrate from an HDD to a SSD, or vice-versa… You can also clone the drive to move it to a bigger drive.
