Thanks for moving the forum to excito.org. I was happy to find it again after some time the forum was not reachable. Meanwhile running kernel 6.1.128-1
Linux b3-hiiumaa.6.1.128-1 #1 Sun Feb 2 04:45:08 CET 2025 armv5tel GNU/Linux
Just want to let you know that I still do scan the repo https://repo ...

Just for curiosity:
@MouettE Do you have statistics about apt requests for the rolling kernel releases? I have configured unattended upgrades, but probably not everyone has.
Meanwhile one of my b3 boxes runs a pihole besides a lot of different services (dlna, web services, smb, …) and I noticed that ...

Upgraded to bookworm.
Current kernel is
Linux b3-hiiumaa 6.1.77-1 #1 Wed Feb 7 02:13:22 CET 2024 armv5tel

Hi everyone!

Just a big THANK YOU for the chance to update to bullseye. Just upgraded 2 B3 boxes from buster to bullseye, the first one was done remotely, no error allowed ;-) I employed the standard way via apt. Before:
root@b3:/etc/apt# uname -a
Linux b3.local 4.19.117-1 #1 Wed Apr 22 09:44:09 ...

Running B3 I bought from @stryker with 4TiB drive. No web interface, just Debian Buster (I think I owe a big "Thanks" to @MouettE) and installing the packets need. Media server (minidlna), smb, backup (dirvish), no clutter. Much better than any of the NAS devices you can buy nowadays. Freshly set up ...

Hi there,

I downloaded a Debian 8.2 image from this place http://s429147034.onlinehome.fr/install.excito.org/jessie/bubbatwo/jessie-1.0/ and it installed to the attached harddrive. The WAN IF connected to the DHCP server received an address and the PHY presented itself as 00:22:02:00:01:9C from ...

Hi Stryker, hi thunder,

I have no idea if stryker sold his B3 to you, thunder, or if you bought from Rodeus. If thunder did not want to buy used equipment, I would be interested in a B3 box (within Germany).

Thank you and regards

Hi there,
just unboxed a brand new Bubba 2. Tried immediately to set up a 4TB HDD after applying the bootloader update from Bubba 3: http://wiki.excito.com/w/index.php?title=Updating_your_B3_to_support_3TB_disks Unfortunately, this does not work, so I used a 1TB HDD to install.
