ftp://root:[email protected]

Good spot :+1:

DietPi will automatically save/update log file data to disk every hour /root/logfile_storage

Yep, thats right. DietPi-Ramlog mode 2

cd /root
./weaved_setup.bin

Yep, required so user can enter their login creds for their weaved account.

cd /root/wiringPi*
ls

Yep, this is where WiringPi is installed. It contains samples, examples the user can run. As well as docs.

@Fourdee

sorry, so fare no time to test on a clean install v.119, but ...

/root
/mnt/usb1_1

Is now replaced with /mnt/dietpi_userdata

. . .

DietPi will automatically save/update log file data to disk every hour /root/logfile_storage

Yep, thats right. DietPi-Ramlog mode 2

In v119 now it will be: /mnt/dietpi_userdata/logfile_storage ?

cd /root
./weaved_setup.bin

will be:

cd /mnt/dietpi_userdata
./weaved_setup.bin

and:

cd /mnt/dietpi_userdata/wiringPi*
ls

... what will be the question. But I see, I have to test it be myself ... 😉

😄

[Fourdee]

In v119 now it will be: /mnt/dietpi_userdata/logfile_storage ?

Nope. It will stay as /root/logfile_storage

cd /mnt/dietpi_userdata/wiringPi*
ls

User data is classed as:

• bittorrent downloads
• owncloud storage,
• Fileservers default location (music/video folders)
• etc etc

@Fourdee

User data is classed as:

• bittorrent downloads
• owncloud storage,
• Fileservers default location (music/video folders)
• etc etc

Aha ... that's the missing description. 😄

So it means more: /mnt/dietpi_user_application_storage_data

Suggestion: so please write this description somewhere in http://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=8

Worry that I will not be the only one, who don't understand it instantly.

Yep, it needs to be explained a little better in the docs :+1:

first run setup question updated:

[Fourdee]

Ok, so, here goes :dancer:

What is user data?

In DietPi, we class user data as:

• Data storage for applications. Some examples:
  
  
  
  • Ownclound data store.
  
  
  • BitTorrent downloads.
  
  
• The location where your fileserver choice will point to, if you install one (eg: Samba Server, Proftpd).
• The location where you can upload and store your media content, for other applications to use (eg: Kodi, Emby, Plex etc).

Where is my user data?

As of DietPi v120. For all future software you install in dietpi-software, you can access your user data with /mnt/dietpi_userdata. Regardless of where the data is physically stored, a symlink will automatically be created for you if needed.
To check where the physical location is, you can run the following command readlink -f /mnt/dietpi_userdata.

Can I move my user data to another location (eg: USB drive?)

Yes.
Simply run dietpi-software and enter the "User data" menu option. Once there, simply select the location you wish to use, or select Manual for a custom location. You can also setup a dedicated USB drive, if one is not currently installed.
DietPi will also move your existing user data to your chosen location.
