[QUOTE="Marcus Fenix, post: 2274310, member: 38832"] You can rewrite any image to the SD card with BalenaEtcher.Its as simple as that. In my case I have a spare SD card just in case the existing one goes bad. Its a sure thing with the kind of uptime I have. [ATTACH type="full" width="480px" alt="1622113918753.png"]106066[/ATTACH] Dietpi gives us the option of backing up the existing installation which I save on the external SSD via dietpi-backup. If something happens to the SD card I can write a fresh image to my spare SD card, pop it in the Pi 4 and run restore to get back my setup in its entirety. [ATTACH type="full" width="630px" alt="1622114008954.png"]106067[/ATTACH] Dietpi standard software installation is very simple as you don't have to go through a lot of github entries to configure your application. Just go with dietpi-software and select what you want to install. [ATTACH type="full" width="506px" alt="1622114180524.png"]106068[/ATTACH] The for the default application setup details e.g. webUI port,default user/passsword etc. refer to this article. [URL unfurl="true"]https://dietpi.com/docs/software/[/URL] Go with a passive case. My Pi Zero was lying around naked and it has accumulated a ton of dust. The passive case covers up the entire Pi and acts as a full body heat sink. For a Pi 4 bare CPU will hit 70-80C easily. The flimsy fin heatsinks that are attached via thermal pads are close to useless in Indian climate. [/QUOTE]
