Create VPS on Hetzner

For kira you have to choose CX41 and add extra 500GB volume to it

LOGIN as root

First of all you have to initialize new 500GB volume and make it primary data container for kira node

Replace HC_Volume_13371337 to your VOLUME_name

{ cd /var/lib && tar cf - . ; } | { cd /mnt/HC_Volume_13371337/ ; tar xvf -  ; echo EXIT=$? ; }

Edit /etc/fstab file. Replace /mnt/HC_Volume_13371337 to /var/lib

nano /etc/fstab

EXAMPLE how it should look:

/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0HC_Volume_13371337 /mnt/HC_Volume_13371337 ext4 discard,nofail,defaults 0 0
>>>>>>
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0HC_Volume_13371337 /var/lib ext4 discard,nofail,defaults 0 0

After that press CTRL+O and ENTER to overwrite file contents
