Hi guys,
Given the limited hard drive for the node that comes inside the Futurebit Apollo BTC, I am thinking of increasing the hard drive; I think that keeping nodes running indefinitely is important because if each of us did this, it would keep the network strong and decentralized, but I am not sure exactly how to approach it. Can I simply attach an external SDD drive to it via its USB ports, or must I figure out how to install a larger internal hard drive?
Thanks!

Edit: I think my brother figured it out, DMZ was enabled and the FutureBit was the only thing on that list, maybe that's how they're getting in?
Assuming you have a consumer-grade router with DMZ enabled, your Apollo was likely compromised in seconds than minutes!
Never ever put any device in such a DMZ without knowing what you are doing. (Such consumer-grade DMZs have most likely every port open - from SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, every port from 0 to 65535 ...)
So, it seems your brother figured it out! Good! Remove Apollo from DMZ and back in the LAN where it should belong firsthand.
Reset the Apollo to factory defaults and start hashing without any more disturbance.
how to reset to factory defaults ??
Wazzzzz up....
...now I know that we like to come on here and post questions and queries when we run into an issue with the miners and hey it is ok for I have posted a question on here at times myself...but indeed reach out also with your question to the support desk or team at Futurebit itself...it is why I was instructed to do at one time and they did respond to me... that email link addy as to where to write to them is... [email protected] ...so indeed just post the question you do here on the forum to the email addy for them I just posted and well then wait for a response and well keep checking on here just in case as well...Ok folks I am outta here for a minute again...have to corral them chickens...hehehehe... 
...Dr. J my man hope you and the crew are doing well and that things are churning along... ...Laterrrssss... 
P.S. Oh by the way...Dr. J or anyone there at Futurebit...did any of you find or have the temperature numbers for the Futurebit miners...meaning at different settings in the configuration of the miner what are the temp ranges...so that well the users can just keep an eye out for the temps on the miners and that way no one damages their miner by accident you know...ok someone there hit us up on them numbers...thanks

Noticing that my node is offline, everything looks correct - could it be the 500gb is full? has anyone seen this before?
also, i switched my pool to prohashing and it seems that 1 of the hashboards is inactive, it was just working on slushpool today
Code:
Node is offline
Double-check your NVMe SSD is seated correctly on the M.2 slot on the bottom of your device and restart your Apollo. If the node is still not loading, you can try re-formatting your node drive in the settings section of the dashboard

Hey guys….just wanted to follow-up on Stratum V2 - is that being developed for any other reason than asicboost or auto-tuning? Braiins OS? What does that pipeline timeline look like?
Anyone care to take a stab at this? @jstefanop?

The node finally finished syncing last night.
When I came to check on the machine this morning, it was no longer showing the USB device as connected. Couple of questions:
1) Is there a command I can use to force the device to reconnect?
2) Are there logs somewhere that can help me identify what's going on?

What USB device? Flash card or mouse/key board?
No. I mean the Standard isn't detected. I only have Hashboard #0 showing. The LED on the Standard is solid red.

Has anyone know of a working package for RDP or Teamviewer for the Full node unit ?
Something like TightVNC should work
Won't installing it to the Miner/node break the system?
No, I don't think it will touch or overwrite any dependency that the miner software uses. Worst case if it breaks just reflash the SD but I'm 99.9% sure you'll have no issues

I have 1 full-node unit and 3 standard unit, have them all plugged for several hours, only one of them is listed on the miner page, the other two are not visible. Their LEDs are solid red. Now im wondering is the full node pre-configured to attach to 1 standard unit only?
Known Issues
Q: I have a full package unit and one or more standard units. Some Standard units show 0 hashrate or dont start hashing right away
A: USB Driver is a bit finicky for the USB controller on the hashboard. It can take several minutes for the controller to establish a good connection to the Standard unit and start hashing, so please wait 10-15 minutes and it should start up on its own. If you keep pressing restart the software won't have time to properly start up the hashboards.

After running my full node for a week and not being able to change the default username and password for the account without crippling the cobbled together software which seems to be some combination of minera mixed with other packages and many other libraries. you say dont forward port 8333 to run a full node thats kind of opposite of how these were advertised also the nag message on the mining screen needing to open port 8333 on router. Also upnp is a terrible idea to have open on a router the default config should be upnp=0.
All the javascript and webui on the main node was a mistake and will probably continue to be a mistake. they were fun to play with but my miners are disconnected and won't ever see a power source or internet again. One hashboard died on day 4 works for about 20 minutes then disables itself these are not plug in play and should not be advertised as such. i see no mention of any warranty on your website(doesnt matter to me as mine are going in the trash).
Sorry if i seem biter the project looked great and i had high expectations, but ive been nothing but burnt from every miner brand i could get my hands on. i think mining is just not for me i dont have enough money to play.

The web dashboard still shows that the miners are inactive: everything is showing zeroes, even after I refresh the screen.
Tried full reboot? Dashboard can be dodgy at times. Reboot is often easier than manually digging for services to restart, because obviously it restarts everything. I bet you changed the time zone on the OS. @thak777
Same thing happened to me yesterday. Miner kept running fine according to slushpool, but all stats were empty.
Preformed a system reboot and everything has been problem free since then.
What does changing the time zone do? What time zone is it suppose to be set too?
