alterfritz Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) Hi, 1st - thanks for your wonderful job. I really like using Armbian. I have setup a few small nanopi neo's with spotify / airplay / Bluetooth to play music via Echo-Dots with line in connected speakers. Now I would like to make this setup as stable as it can be., so I was thinking about making those SD cards read only. What I got from here - on the old kernel 3.4 there is an option - apt-get install overlayroot. Sadly I'm on the latest Debain based image - fritz@nanopineo2:~$ uname -a Linux nanopineo2 4.14.18-sunxi #24 SMP Fri Feb 9 16:24:32 CET 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux unionfs-fuse is maybe a good option. Before I try that out myself - anybody had done this? Any guide I can use / follow? Regards Joerg Edited July 18, 2018 by alterfritz
alterfritz Posted July 18, 2018 Author Posted July 18, 2018 Hmmm... seems not to be easy doable. I guess moving to Armbian Xenial is maybe an easier option. Thoughts?

cIddeab Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 Hi alterfritz, did you make any progress on this, yet? I am searching for a similar solution: something like overlayroot for Armbian_5.65 for a BananaPi M2+ (Debian_stretch_next_4.14.78). The overlayroot package that is mentioned in this thread (1st reply): would be just what I would need, but the "overlayroot" package doesn't seem to be available for Debian Stretch. So, before starting to botch something together myself, I would like to know, if you have found a good solution already.
