#818 Installation on TP-Link 7350 without SD-Card

I finished the installation without SD-card, it looks recording and analyzation works fine. What is the need of the sd-card?

On a few devices there is not enough disk space to upgrade rayhunter beyond the first installation, or the device will run out of disk space after a few recordings. Enforcing the sdcard seemed like a simpler thing than to try and support users who want to migrate their data from internal storage to the sdcard.

example of where this pans out on other devices: https://github.com/EFForg/rayhunter/issues/733

Thanks for reaction.

Hmmm, storage looks fine for me - just 27% used (19.6M used / 53.5M available). What is the average size of a recording? Or what was the threshold to move the installation to a sd-card?

Back then I didn’t know, for tplink it’s probably fair to change this. SD cards themselves have been flaky, as sometimes they don’t mount on boot.

It will probably also become less relevant once we a way to drain old recordings out of the device: https://github.com/EFForg/rayhunter/issues/819

If you accumulate recordings over time, migrating to an SD card is somewhat tricky and not something we support.

I will observe available storage further and in case there will be a new function in a future version (to delete old and/or copy) then I am on a save side…

And in emergency cases I will check how to deinstall and reinstall via a sd-Card. Thanks.
