Via a web browser you can port via their website to the CLI of the Raspberry Pi. A simple script runs each time the button is pushed, to shutdown and startup the Raspberry Pi.įollow the simple tutorial here: Remote access: CLI and GUI using Dataplicity and Portholeĭataplicity have a solid platform for remote access to a Raspberry Pi, outside your home network, giving you access via CLI or GUI, as if you were in front of a keyboard/monitor. For the ease of simplicity I’ve deployed a method long used and well scripted, by connecting a button to two of the GPIO pins. Practically, as a NAS, it needs a power on/off button.
Turn the Raspberry Pi on/off with a button You just need to remember where it is so you can include the directory path in the script. While mentioned it could be created from the root (base), it can be anywhere. The next step is to map a folder/directory on the Raspberry Pi to the SSD drive (for the purpose of using it as storage only).Įasiest method is to create a folder on the root of the RPi and adding a script line that is run at boot to mount that folder name to the SSD drive.Īn example is to create a folder ‘nas’. It is easiest done via the GUI (desktop) interface. The steps describe installing the Gparted software that allows the partitioning and setup of the storage drive.

Full instructions on that are contained in this article starting at: SSD as additional disk drive.
If you are using an SSD device it will need to be formatted prior to mounting. One of the steps in the article mentions mounting the storage drive. Leave your details in the form below to place an order. The board can also be purchased via other online vendors including the more up-to-date USB3.0 version. The article also mentions the Ykush USB2.0 software switchable hub which I can supply for NZ$50 (plus freight).
