# Log2Ram
|
|
Like ramlog for systemd (on debian 8 jessie for example).
|
|
|
|
Usefull for **Raspberry** for not writing all the time on the SD card. You need it because your SD card don't want to suffer anymore !
|
|
|
|
The script [log2ram](log2ram) can work on every linux system. So you can use it with your own daemon manager if you don't have systemd.
|
|
|
|
Log2Ram is based on transient log for Systemd here : [A transient /var/log](https://www.debian-administration.org/article/661/A_transient_/var/log)
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/azlux/log2ram.git
|
|
cd log2ram
|
|
chmod +x install.sh
|
|
sudo ./install.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
into /usr/local/bin/log2ram
|
|
- You can change the SIZE variable if necessary
|
|
- If you prefer to use rsync, you can set the USE_RSYNC variable to `true`
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Customize
|
|
#### variables :
|
|
Into the file `log2ram` (or `/usr/local/bin/log2ram` if you have already installed it), there are two variables into the script : `SIZE=40M` and `USE_RSYNC=false`
|
|
|
|
The first variable define the size the log folder will reserve into the RAM.
|
|
|
|
The second variable can be set to `true` if you prefer "rsync" than "cp".
|
|
|
|
### It is working ?
|
|
You can now check the mount folder in ram with
|
|
```
|
|
df -h
|
|
mount
|
|
```
|
|
By default, the program will write log into the HardDisk every hour and the log for log2ram will be write here : `/var/log.hdd/log2ram.log`
|
|

###### Now, muffins for everyone !
