I have ever bought one MyCloud 6T storage to save my photos and videos, but you know, the My Cloud app is not good to use, so everything I have to connect to my phone with USB cable, and keep the computer on to copy the files to MyCloud disk. Now let me introduce how to import / move MyCloud data to Lomorage.

Config your MyCloud

1. Turn on SSH on MyCloud admin page

Open MyCloud admin web page, on settings, turn on SSH and set the password as tips. Like below picture:

2. Connect to MyCloud with SSH

Use below command to connect MyCloud on SSH client like putty or other SSH client tools.

ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss [email protected]

CD to nfs folder, check what shared folder there. Below is my case as the picture:

cd /nfs

The Public folder is which I want to mount to Lomorage.

3. Edit exports file on MyCloud

Inside SSH client, run below command:

sudo vi /etc/exports

And copy below line to the bottom of the file:

/nfs/Public 192.168.0.1/24(rw,subtree_check,secure)

192.168.0.1 is your router’s IP, please change to yours real IP.

Then save to exit.

Till now, MyCloud configure is finished.

Mount MyCloud folder to Lomorage server

1. Connect to Lomorage server with SSH

Inside SSH client, run below command:

ssh [email protected]

The default password for pi is: raspberry.

2. Mount MyCloud folder

Create new folder under home/pi like below:

cd /home/pi
sudo mkdir mycloud

run below command to mount the MyCloud folder.

sudo mount 192.168.0.24:/nfs/Public /home/pi/mycloud

192.168.0.24 is the MyCloud’s IP, please change yours real IP here.

if up command has error, please run below command.

sudo rpcbind start

then run below command again.

sudo mount 192.168.0.24:/nfs/Public /home/pi/mycloud

3. Check MyCloud mounted folder

Run below command and you will see the files from MyCloud disk. Congratulations, key step is done.

cd /home/pi/mycloud

Start import MyCloud data to Lomorage

1. Scan files

Run below command to scan the mounted folder

cd /opt/lomorage/bin

./lomoc s /home/pi/mycloud

[mycloud is the folder which you mounted from the MyCloud/Public]

It need some time to finish the scanning if you have many assets from MyCloud.

If the scanning finished, run below command to check the files.

~/.lomo

Some assets will be categorized if the EXIF info there. Like below:

pi@raspberrypi-lomorage:~/.lomo/links/unclassfied $ ls -l

2. Install tmux

If you are familiar with tmux, please ignore.

Please install tmux on your Lomorage server using below command:

sudo apt install tmux

then:

tmux

3. Start import to Lomorage

Enter into tmux session，run below:

cd /opt/lomorage/bin

./lomoc import -y [lomorage username] [password]

Note： the username and password here is the info which you used to login Lomorage on Phone APP.

Then lomoc application will discovering how many Lomorage servers in your home network, please do that as screen messages.

The log will be print out like below if import success.
