Raspberry Pi complete Domoticz from a ram drive
Domoticz has a very IO intensive database and in the past it was possible to put the logging of that database on a ram drive.
Nowadays that is not supported anymore so you need to run it from your uSD card and wear out that card.
Or.....you run everything from a ram drive.
Details are described in 'domoticz ramdrive.txt'
The idea behind is that when your Domoticz is NOT running :
- there is a backup of your domoticz in a seperate backup folder
- there is a ram drive mounted on your domoticz folder
The /etc/init.d/domoticz when used to start :
- copies the content from the backup folder to the ram drive
- starts domoticz
The /etc/init.d/domoticz when used to stop :
- stops domoticz
- copies the content from the ram drive to the backup folder
The /etc/init.d/domoticz when used to restart :
- uses the stop and start so......
- stops domoticz
- copies the content from the ram drive to the backup folder
- copies the content from the backup folder to the ram drive
- starts domoticz
