The objective of this repository is to setup an encrypred Resilio Sync replication node with system monitoring tolling. Such replication nodes may be deployed off-site to increase availability for targetted datasets.

Hardware:

1. Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, 8GB
2. Samsung Evo Select MicroSD Card, 32 GB
3. Seagate Backup Plus Hub, 8TB

Software:

1. Raspberry Pi OS Lite
2. Ansible
3. Resilio Sync on Linux
4. Grafana Cloud

Navigate to the Raspberry Pi OS website and select "Raspberry Pi OS Lite" - a ZIP archive should begin downloading. Next, extract the ZIP archive using unzip(1) and burn the image file (.img) to the boot medium using dd(1). For example:

unzip Downloads/2022-01-28-raspios-bullseye-armhf-lite.zip
root $ dd if= 2022-01-28-raspios-bullseye-armhf-lite.img of=/dev/sda

Note: The boot medium path (i.e. /dev/sda) may be determined using lsblk(8).

TODO - Below documentation.

Mount micro SD

root $ mkdir /mnt/pi
root $ mount BOOT_PARITION /mnt/pi
