Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

That risks breaking the drive eventually. They don’t handle loss of power well. And if its being written to at the time, data loss and corruption is inevitable.
That said, no need to reboot to mount the drive.
I shall give this a try the next time it loses power. Thank you.
Then set up a cron job that periodically tries to read a file on the drive, and if that command fails, then execute
sudo mount -aLike, set up a root account cron job to run
touch \external_drive\test_file.txt || mount -aat 5-minute intervals.
