Service adguardhome writes persistent data to SD card

[cmonty14]

Hello,
I deployed software

• AdGuard Home (ID: 126)
• Unbound (ID: 182)

successfully on my (old) RPi B (armv6l).

Thanks to your pre-configured deployment this runs like charm.

In my understanding AdGuard Home is writing persistent data to directory /mnt/dietpi_userdata/adguardhome/data.
If this is true, this undermines your approach with dietpi-ramlog to save the lifetime of the SD card.

Could you provide a solution that creates a tmpfs for /mnt/dietpi_userdata/adguardhome/data and persists this data with a cronjob?
Or any other solution that saves the lifetime of the SD card.

Regards
Thomas

this undermines your approach with dietpi-ramlog

Well, dietpi-ramlog does not aim to prevent every single write operation or to keep application data in memory. The tool is about exactly what the name says, keeping system logs in memory but not application data.

Theoretically, you could ask the AGH developers if they have a similar function to PiHole. With PiHole you can set how often the data is written to the disc. The default setting is every 10 minutes. I don't know if AGH offers something similar.
