I used BalenaEtcher to clone the SSD:
Login to Umbrel. Settings > Shutdown. Power OFF
Unplug 1TB Drive from Umbrel, Plug both your 1TB and 2TB drives into your computer
Open BalenaEtcher
a. Clone Drive > Choose 1TB Drive (source disk) > Select
b. Select Target > Choose 2TB Drive (destination disk) > Select
c. Flash! (This takes a while, it should provide a time estimate)
Eject 2TB Drive from computer and plug into Umbrel. Power ON
Login to Umbrel. Settings > Advanced Settings > Terminal
Follow Steps 12-17 in the linked guide above Note: I used sudo growpart /dev/sda 1 for Step 13, OP may have a typo
After reboot and logging back in, confirm disk shows 2TB in the Umbrel GUI. Hope this helps!
Thanks, this works great (running UmbrelOS 1.3).
I first tried with Acronis (on my work PC), but that failed, I could not find the logfile that should have the reason. Balena did the job, although it took almost 3 hours.
At first sudo apt install cloud-init -y came back with an error: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
So I did a sudo apt-get update and after that repeated the sudo apt install cloud-init -y
Essentially flawless. THANK YOU That growpart line was indeed a typo.
The only minor hiccup for me was Balena-related; gave me a grey screen half way through the clone; needed to disable laptop screen going to sleep in settings, then the issue didnāt occur.
Thanks Node101. I find this the day after I did mine. Still hoping I didnāt mess up. Last week I noticed an error when I logged in to Umbrel and my Spectre. Figured that my 1TB SSD was full so I ordered a 4TB this time. Did the cloning with the free MultiDriveSetup software. But then, I could not get the partitions to expand to the rest of it. So ended up purchasing EASUS Partition Master, which actually was much simpler than I thought. So I had it expand to the unallocated spaces on the left and the right of it. Well, I didnāt power off Umbrel like you said because I wasnāt sure how, and since my power has gone off at times and it still worked fine, I just merely unplugged the power from the raspberri and pulled the drives out, put the new larger one on this morning and put the power on. ācept when I log on to my umbrel, it asked me to create a new account. Then it wonāt update the Umbrel .5 to the new 1.0. (Node101, how did you figure v1.4.2? All my system says itās 1.0. Iām so confused! The website talks about āthe cloudā but my understanding is āthe cloudā is not my computer.)
**I had found the same guide you mentioned except I also got lost at #12. I have no clue what he means by SSH and install Cloud Init. No instructions as how to do that so it was meant for computer wiz people, not like me. But I think Iām figuring out itās for Linux people and Iām Windows.
To Upgrade my Umbrel Search basically said I have to flash it again to the micro SD (https://umbrel.com/update-to-umbrelos-1-0). Then, I canāt get my Specter Desktop app up and it tells me I need to install Bitcoin Node. So that goes on forever and I donāt know if itās actually doing something. So, if I screwed up, and basically have to start from scratch, I canāt find my notes on how the hell I connected my cold wallet to the Spectre.
Anyone out there have the steps written down for Windows, so I can save it again and follow it? Iām not knowledgeable on all this crypto stuff since my son in law helped me hook it up the first time, but, heās been out of reach due to personal stuff so I canāt figure out what to do exactly to get back to my wallet and updates. Heās one of those smart people that isnāt good at teaching anyway.
Thanks in advance to all those smarter than me.
Umbrel is a Docker container on Debian without a GUI installed. So either you can just clone all of it over with clonezilla or dd copy with a linux live usb or just copy the /home directory onto a new drive and change the mount in fstab.
To clone these drives, you set up a usb thumb drive with software on it that will clone the drive. The easiest software to use is clonezilla. I use it for all computers windows. mac, linux. It guides you through the software so you can clone disk to disk without doing anything but selecting the source and destination disk and confirm to clone.
Most operating systems have to be not booted from the OS drive you are cloning.
