![]() ![]() TimeMachine "TimeMachine" options:tmYou can replace /TimeMachine with a directory in your home drive, example : ![]() # By default all users have access to their home directories. You can specify any directory on your linux box as long as everyone has read/write permissions on it. In my case, I created a brand new partition called /TimeMachine on my Ubuntu linux server. # -transall -uamlist uams_dhx.so,uams_dhx2.so -nosavepassword /etc/netatak/fault: Leave the last line commented out (which is how it is if you didn't touch anything).īasically everything in this file is commented out # Set which daemons to run (papd is dependent upon atalkd): # Change this to set the id of the guest user #AFPD_UAMLIST="-U uams_dhx2.so,uams_clrtxt.so" ![]() # available options: uams_guest.so, uams_clrtxt.so, # specify this if you don't want dhx and dhx2 Notice that #AFPD_UAMLIST is commented out (default) The only file that has to be changed is /etc/netatalk/fault. Keep the files /etc/default/netatalk, /etc/netatalk/nf, as the defaults. If you are using Ubuntu 10.04, just open up synaptic package manager, and download/install the netatalk package. Ignore the message from the package installer that tells you there is an older version in the repository that is recommended. If you are using Ubuntu 9.10, like I am, then you need to get and install the following 3 packages from, in this order. Root 25883 1 0 01:38 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/afpd -U uams_dhx2.so,uams_clrtxt.so -g nobody -c 50 -n sidi-desktopHere is how to do it. This library allows me to login from both my Mac computers running 10.5.8 and ps -ef | grep afpd Unlike previous versions, this version does not need to be recompiled with "ssl" support because it is using a new library (uams_dhx2). This new easy way uses the latest netatalk 2.0.5 which has a new option called the "timemachine" option (options:tm). The older methods no longer apply when using netatalk 2.0.5. Just one thing to note, if the folder icon on the share has 3 little people in it, you can't drag that to your sidebar, that is why we have to put a secondary directory(folder) inside it so you can drag that to your sidebar.After looking at several websites, most notably kremalicious, bob's notepad, I finally figured out the easiest way to set up my Ubuntu 9.10 server as a time machine server today. I don't need to have the servers bonjour'd to access them. That said I set up the same concept on my server lab project at home and it is quick to connect. We have to physically type in the connection, annoying at best so I find that by dragging the directories I use most to my side bar, makes it more convenient to get the files I need. I'd also like to point out that at our office (a world wide organization), they don't advertise the SMB shares. Im a MAC geek and Ubuntu Command Line Server enthusiast. It's essentially the same without all the messing around installing software you don't need to take up resources on your server. Then when you command-K smb://yourserver.local// the drive mounts and there is the folder(directory) sitting right there, just drag it to your sidebar and then any time you need to log in, just click it. Plop all your shares in that master directory and make sure your smb.conf file is also pointing to the shares. com if you have the luxury of pointing a domain name to your server. Name the master directory ( yourserver.local) or. I can still use Cmd+K to get to the smb shares, but I find this less preferable, because I want to make it easy to use for non technical people.Īvahi didn't work for me due to what I am running on my server and frankly whilst it is nice to see your network share pop up on the Finder Sidebar, a workaround to not installing avahi is to create a master share directory(Folder) then plop all your shares in it. When I click on the server icon in the navigation bar, I only see the afp shares, no smb to be seen. When netatalk and samba+avahi are both running, it seems like netatalk hides any other bonjour stuff on the same host. ![]() Samba does not have built-in bonjour support, but with the help of avahi, it's possible to advertise your smb shares through bonjour as well, and they show up in the Finder's navigation bar as well (awesome!). Netatalk has built-in bonjour support, so if you run netatalk, the afp shares show up nicely in Finder (great!). I would like all shares, AFP and SMB to be accessible from a server icon in the finder navigation bar. netatalk, avahi and samba are the packages that I'm using and they're not playing nice with each other. I'm trying to create a fileserver/timecapsule combo server out of my new raspberry pi (Raspbian), and it's not going as well as I'd like. ![]()
