What else can a TV box do? Is it just watching TV? No, no, no, it can also be a cloud server, which can be your home light NAS, so that the photos and videos taken by your mobile phone can be easily uploaded to the cloud server at home, and they can also be easily opened and edited on the computer. Not only that, but you can also mount a large-capacity hard disk for audio-visual services, put your favorite classic movies and songs into it, and have a server for on-demand songs and movies at any time, isn't it perfect?
This box of mine is a second-hand box purchased by Xiao Huangyu, and there is no remote control, so it was bought specifically for servers.
The box itself only has 2G of RAM and 8GB of flash memory, which is barely enough, but when I tried to write the system to flash memory, it always failed, so I had another idea.
I use the 16G USB flash drive directly as a system disk,So insert the USB flash drive to start it, it's my server,Unplug the USB flash drive to start,It's an ordinary TV box,You can also watch TV。
Now I have installed the latest version of armbian system on the USB flash drive, installed docker and casaos, and the light NAS system is set up. Another advantage is,This TV box is64Bit,Most docker programs can run,For example, Thunderbolt can be used to download,You can run the download speed of the box to the full,It's not too convenient to download movies。
And because the system runs directly on the U disk,It does not affect the role of the TV box itself,You can use it to watch TV at any time。 This is also a great point, so why do you have to write it into the eMMC? There will be no obvious change in speed, maybe just run on a USB flash drive, which is also a very good choice.
