Shares and Time Machine
We will create a few entries to use your external drive for the shares that you need,
and this version of Netatalk also supports Time Machine.
You will need to edit this file to customize some of the settings as follows:
/etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default
#Ammend default to look like this
:DEFAULT: options:upriv,usedots,rw,tm
#Add this to end of the file
/nas/USB001/public "Public"
/nas/USB001/work "James Bond"
Read the configuration file for more options and adjusting security. After saving,
you must restart Netatalk using the following command:
service netatalk restart
BitTorrent Sync
All the bad things that you might have heard about torrents were primarily
caused by private companies who were deliberately placing infected files to try
and track users sharing copyrighted material, or malicious users who were after
your personal details.
Sync is not a public network; it only uses the revolutionary peer-to-peer technology
from conventional torrents, which allows you to share an unlimited amount of data
with an unlimited number of computers. Files are not stored on the cloud. They
are stored on all the computers that have access to the private files, and you can
control who has access and where these files will be stored. Sync includes basic file
versioning, sharing with mobile phones, LAN synchronizing, and delta updates. It
also allows massive file transfers of up to several gigabytes without any problem, as
long as your filesystem can support such large files.
Installing Sync
At the time of writing this topic, there were a few repositories that kept this package
with the startup scripts. A word of warning: do not to trust sources other than the
ones that are enabled by default. People can easily alter code and place their own
version of the binary with some nasty backdoors. Go to the official website, or use
the links provided by the official website.
