Browser Caching: This is what tells the visitors browser to cache the files locally to speed up future site/page visits. We will set this up using Nginx. On Apache, this is accomplished using .htaccess files.
Server Caching: This caches static versions of pages (Page cache). We are going to accomplish this using Nginx FastCGI cache.
Frontend Caching: This means caching WordPress PHP files so they don’t have to be re-compiled for every visit. We are going to set this up using PHP OpCache.
Database Caching: This optimizes database queries by storing them in the RAM for faster delivery. We are going to use Redis for this.

Seems like the news app updating process threw an exception. After searching for a minute I found this thread, where someone got the same error and just manually disabled the maintenance mode. So I did the same:
$ docker exec --user www-data nextcloud-app_1 php /var/www/html/occ maintenance:mode --off
Nextcloud or one of the apps require upgrade - only a limited number of commands are available
You may use your browser or the occ upgrade command to do the upgrade

Went back to the WebGui, logged in, and he asked me to update the news app. Now the update finished without problems.
I recently added some disks to my TrueNAS server and created a new encrypted pool named data2 on it. My old pool data was created years ago, before the zfs encryption feature was released, so it is an unencrypted pool. Now I wanted to move a dataset, i.e. photos, to my new pool data2. I tried to archieve this via TrueNAS Gui using the Replication Task, but always got errors that it’s not possible to send unencrypted data to an encrypted pool.
On Reddit I found a thread with a solution using the parameter -x encryption.
Because I prefer keeping all my snapshots when moving a dataset, I send my oldest snapshot first.
Compare the datasets with zfs diff (see example here) or use the classic diff command to compare the folders:
diff -qr /mnt/data/photos /mnt/data2/photos
#or in background
diff -qr /mnt/data/photos /mnt/data2/photos >> diff.output & disown
#check if process finished with "ps"
less diff.output
Check if all Snapshots were replicated with:
zfs list -t snapshot | grep data2/photos
After that I just changed the path for my NFS photo share and did a sudo mount -a on the clients. Now the whole dataset is moved and encrypted.
“Western Digital macht künftig besser erkenntlich, welche WD-Red-Festplatten auf klassisches Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) oder potenziell langsameres Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) setzen: Der Hersteller überführt alle CMR-Modelle der WD-Red-Serie in die neue Baureihe WD Red Plus. Wer künftig eine normale WD-Red-Festplatte ohne Namenszusatz kauft, bekommt folglich sicher eine SMR-Variante.”
CMR = Conventional Magnetic Recording SMR = Shingled Magnetic Recording (ungeeignet für NAS)
Damit beim Filme schauen auf dem Fernseher nicht immer händisch der Mauszeiger aus dem sichtbaren Bereich geschoben werden muss, habe ich nach einer Lösung gesucht und wurde mit Unclutter fündig: “Unclutter ist ein kleines Hilfsprogramm, das den Mauszeiger verschwinden lässt.”
“Unclutter startet ab dem nächsten Neustart automatisch. Wenn man das oder die Optionen ändern will, kann man es durch Bearbeiten [3] der Datei /etc/default/unclutter mit Root-Rechten erreichen.” Standardmäßig verschwindet der Mauszeiger nach einer Sekunde. Kann aber natürlich beliebig angepsasst werden.
Until recently, I only used my RaspberryPi 3 as Bluetooth Speaker with the HifiBerry AMP2 and two old B&W DM601. This setup only consumes about 3 Watts idling, so its running 24h. I used the VLC Android App on my smartphone to access my music on my NAS and streamed it via Bluetooth to the Pi.
But I wanted to control the music on different devices (like Tablet, HTPC, Desktop) and was annoyed, having to reconnect my smartphone Bluetooth connection all the time when coming home. Also there is still a loss of quality with Bluetooth and i have many FLAC files now. That’s why I gave Music Player Daemon (MPD) a try. A daemon which runs on the Pi and can be controlled from different clients. It accesses my music library via Wifi directly on the NAS.
These are the steps I had to make on my Raspberry Pi:
I had some audio cracking when switching a song or just pressing play and pause. Following this blog, they released a fix with in a newer firmware version, unfortunately after a while they broke it again with a later firmware version…. nevertheless I made the update and somehow I get less cracking, even if it doesn’t disappear completely.
sudo apt install autofs
sudo nano /etc/auto.nfs
sudo nano /etc/auto.master
sudo service autofs restart
mount
ls /mnt/nfs/music/
sudo reboot
#check again after reboot
ls /mnt/nfs/music/
auto.nfs
music -fstype=nfs,rw,retry=0 192.168.178.100:/data/music
auto.master
/mnt/nfs /etc/auto.nfs
4. Install MPD and the clients MPC and ncmpcpp
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mpd mpc ncmpcpp
5. Edit MPD config file and restart service
Open the mpd.conf file in your favorite editor and after editing, restart the service.
The Music Player Client (MPC) acts as client (as well as ncmpcpp) to MPD. MPD itself is just the daemon and has no music controlling capabilities.
#check if the output(s) is enabled
mpc outputs
#update the database (will take while)
mpc update
#look up the commands to adjust volume and play a file as test
mpc help
7. Configure ncmpcpp
When using ncmpcpp as client, you have to do a small configuration to tell the client to which server it should talk to. So open the config:
sudo nano ~/.ncmpcpp/config
and insert the following lines. When using ncmpcpp directly one the raspberry, set 127.0.0.1 as mpd_host. When using it on another machine (like your desktop), insert the IP of the raspberry pi.
