Streaming to YouTube from a Raspberry Pi

All credit goes to Wolfgang Schlatter for his guide on Google+, which I've only modified slightly.

  • Install Raspbian and download the crosscompiled ffmpeg from Google Drive or Mega.

  • Transfer arm.tar.gz to your Raspberry Pi and untar with tar -xvf arm.tar.gz.

  • Move to the new folder with cd arm/bin.

  • Start the livestream with 720p quality:

Install Urbackup on CentOS 7 using ZFS

Installing Urbackup on CentOS using ZFS

Here's the details on installing Urbackup on the ZFS file system on the stable CentOS 7.

  • Install CentOS 7. I'll be using the Minimal install.
    • Once you have the .iso, write it to a CD or USB drive. I recommend using Rufus if you're on Windows to write it to USB.
    • Go ahead and boot to it.
    • Most of the defaults on the Installation Summary page should be good. However you will want to:
      • Confirm the time zone is correct.
      • Click the disk you want to install to.

Syncing with Backblaze B2 with rclone on CentOS

Here's how to sync your files onto Backblaze once you have a Backblaze account. More on that here. Also if you're uploading more than 10 GB, you'll want to increase your cap size on the web portal.

  • You'll want to do this all as root: sudo su -
  • Install rclone
    • Add the extra EPEL repos: yum install epel-release
    • Install some prerequisites: yum install golang git
    • Add Go's folder to your path: export GOPATH="$HOME/gopath/"
    • Install rclone in the Go folder: go get github.com/ncw/rclone
  • Copy the program to your binary folder: cp $GOPATH/bin/rclone /usr/bin/
