Hey folks- longtime reader, rarely calling.

I’ve been running 6 apollos (one full node, 5 standard) with 6 more on the way (same as previous, 1 node, 5 standard).

Since I’ve been running them, I have had minimal to no problems. Are there any updates I should be pushing to increase mining?

My biggest problem, which I think is because of my ISP, is when my internet “burps” or loses connection for a minute or two, I have to manually restart the miners. They are hard wired via Ethernet to a router. No big deal… when I’m home. Is there a way to somehow access my Futurebit site when I’m not on my home network? A friend mentioned port forwarding?

I’ll preface that I have a solid understanding of network technology, but nowhere near advanced. Fortunately I learn quickly.

Im sorry if this has already been discussed, I wasn’t what to search for when trying to find answer.

If anyone could point me in the right direction or any material that can help I’d be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and happy mining!

P.s. @jstefanop the usb hot wiring is working great! Thanks again

I'd honestly buy a 1TB drive and call it a day. Deleting stuff here and there will just cause you issues in the long run and there's not much to be deleted, anyway. Most of that storage is just blockchain. If you start pruning it, you can basically forget about running Lightning later down the road when they add a Lightning app.

Drive Almost Full - 456.74GB out of 457.45GB used ... what happens next.

Anyone have any idea what happens the drive finally is full on the miner? I've been watching the drive space dwindle now for the last couple of weeks and I'm pretty sure that sometime between Sunday and Wednesday of this week it's finally going to happen. So that said what will happen, will the units, die, will there be an automatic FIFO delete?

Is there a good idea of what can be deleted via SSH'ing into the box, I don't use the node but it has run and I'm sure there is data in there that could free up some space if someone can tell me what to delete that won't cripple the miner.

Looking for suggestions.

Thanks

Hello,

I recently purchased the FutureBit Apollo BTC full node.  It was running fine.  Then I updated the Ubuntu software (at the request of a pop-up that appeared on the dashboard screen).  Now the miner will not work correctly.  When it restarted following the software update, the dashboard would not load.  I tried restarting/unplugging the miner.  Now when I turn it on, no light at all appears on the front of the miner.  When I turn it on, the fan runs at the high intensity (not eco level) but nothing happens.  I can't remote into the dashboard. 

I have no idea what to do to get it going again.  Any advice?  Is there a way to do a hard restart/full reset?

Thank you!
