The Foolproof CasaOS RAID Guide (Even Your Grandma Can Do It!)

0:00 okay so you have an ancient PC so this is a 2007 Dell I think and so if you look here in the bottom I have installed two hard drives and so people have been asking or or actually nobody's been asking but I wanted to figure out if I can install kasos on raid natively without installing something else like uh open medall and the answer is yes and it's not as hard as you think so let's do it right now okay so the first step is we need to download

0:49 Debian and then download install Bella Ana eter if you haven't already done that and then burn Debian to a USB drive now I'm just assuming that you know how to do all that because this is installing it to raid which is more advanced option so next we'll skip all the installation we'll get right to the raid part okay so this is like my third time filming this part because I did not film myself I turned it off when I should have turned it on and so on and so forth but anyways I did not realize that till the end so on this part Force yui installation so basically Debbie is a yui uh OS but if we click yes here for

1:35 me it doesn't work and I saw online uh several other people it did not work for them so we're going to keep that at no hit continue click manual install continue okay so now here we have our two hard drives uh this is my USB drive that is on there actually it's down here twice so we have it's here listed as ventoy and down below here it's is the flash drive but just ignore those two and down below what we're interested in is these two things so we're going to double click on this and we want to create an empty partition table so click yes and continue so now we have that here we

2:22 want to do the same thing to this one okay next we want to click on software raid and we want to write changes continue create MD device ours is raid one because we just have two two drives zero backups or spare drives and then we pick our two devices hit continue and then write those changes to the storage device and configur a yes continue and then click

3:09 finish and so now up here above you can see that we have uh our raid device and it's made some partitions there and so we're basically going to ignore what it says there and just make our own so we're going to go to logical volume manager and keep current partition configuration yes so first we're going to create a volume group hit continue give it a [Applause] name so I pick techn dead life it doesn't really matter what the name is here it will matter on the next step though okay and so here we want to pick our raid device so here it's MD

3:55 O2 and then hit continue and then so after you create a volume group you want to CL create some logical groups and so we want to pick techn Dad life so the first one is [Applause] root and so we want to do all this minus about 4 gigabytes so we're going to change this8 to a four hit continue and then create another logical group and this one is swap1 and you have to do it that

4:40 way hit continue and then finish and so now we have two devices or two uh LV route and swap we're going to double click on the first one we're going to click on do not use extension for journaling and then Mount rout and then continue or done and so now it says extension for and root and for our swap we're going to change this to swap area click continue and

5:26 done then finish partitioning and right to this and write changes to disk and continue if we're doing this for a server we don't need any of these we want to install SSH and then continue okay so we're back to the grub section and so we want to install grub to your primary drive and so you're going to think wait we just made a raid and we want to install everything to the raid but no we want to install it to the first bootable drive because it doesn't work if you install it to the raid and then what we're going to do is install it to the second drive at first boot so then if either Drive goes bad we will

6:13 still be able to boot the computer so here click yes pick your first device and then continue and if you get an error uh when you're installing uh grub that means you did something wrong earlier uh in the process so go back and redo everything then of course when you get here then just reboots and make sure you take out your instulation media which I'll do right now and then hit enter or continue okay so next what we're going to do is log in as roots

7:00 and our [Applause] password and since we put it in legacy mode we're going to type in dpkg-reconfigure space grub-pc and then hit enter Then type in quiet and then hit enter again and again and so here we're going to select our two boot drive so the a drive is already selected we want the B drive and then hit enter and that's going to take a few minutes to go through its thing where it resets

7:45 everything uh next we're going to type in shutdown dasr now to reboot our machine and then hit enter next type in root and your password type in curl type in curl DFS Capital SL SL space htps colonet Caso OS pipe pseudo bash hit enter and now it's installing kasos and so once this is done uh it will give us the IP address and we're going to log

8:31 into that okay so here under costos uh 0.4.6 we have an IP address and so then you would put that in your browser and we'll do that now okay and so then we can log in when that's all done here you can see our raid and under storage manager manager doesn't show actually any drives there and doesn't say we can create anything but if we look under drives there it is and we can add or subtract things as we like and so that is how you install kaso s to uh raid one and if you like this
