Installing java and minimserver on Volumio 2

lozdown · December 7, 2016, 9:11pm

I have a 16G sd card on rapsberry pi2 with volumio 2 installed. I want to install minimserver which needs java to run.

sudo apt-get install default-jdk

Unfortunately the installation process reports no space available and fails

Using ubuntu to view the microSD partitions show boot, volumio and voumio-data totalling approx 16G so it looks that volumio 2 initialised the microSD to use all the space

Running df on the raspberry pi/volumio 2 does not show the volumio-data partition

volumio@study:~$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mmcblk0p2 2.0G 497M 1.4G 26% /imgpart /dev/loop0 247M 247M 0 100% /static overlay 354M 325M 1.9M 100% / devtmpfs 479M 0 479M 0% /dev tmpfs 487M 0 487M 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 487M 4.7M 482M 1% /run tmpfs 5.0M 4.0K 5.0M 1% /run/lock tmpfs 487M 0 487M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs 487M 12K 487M 1% /tmp tmpfs 487M 0 487M 0% /var/spool/cups tmpfs 487M 52K 487M 1% /var/log tmpfs 487M 0 487M 0% /var/spool/cups/tmp /dev/mmcblk0p1 61M 29M 33M 47% /boot /dev/sda1 119G 106G 13G 90% /media/Music tmpfs 98M 0 98M 0% /run/user/1000

How should I install java and minimserver?

How should I install java and minimserver?

Because we use the data partition for overlayfs, you will find the ‘usable’ data folder on /data

So what should I do about insufficient space problem to install java and minimserver?

use /data

Can you post the command line with /data in it for us linux noobs?

Something like this?

The question is, why would you want to mess with the existing Volumio installation? Especially since MimiServer is a music-oriented server as well, which is most likely going to conflict with the sole purpose of Volumio: playing music. Volumio is an OS optimised for this one purpose. If you say you’re a Linux noob, I would keep my hands off it.

If your goal is to maintain your library, you can do that externally too. Volumio shares the connected harddrive within the local network, meaning you can manage your library from a laptop or PC. Lot less hassle.
(same trick if your music is stored on a NAS)
