Please try this and let me know what does and does not work, and any suggestions you may have. Once I got the steps working, I will use it to create a script. But obviously, my users will want that error message to go away. But it uses and creates a temp and works fine.

LINUX NETATALK SERVER MAC

The fedora 15 server has a problem with some the CNID DB on the mac side. I gotta work the details out on that one. By leaving in the ~ users can log in to their 'home' folder. You set the permissions on the shared folder with chmod. Macs from a different subnet (like say, a virtual mac) don't see it right away, but you can connect to the server and it will see it from then on as a mac server. Macs on the same subnet see it as a native mac server on their network.

I've tested the steps on both fedora 15 and 16 and it seems to work. #Anyway, it has a long way before its a script, but the above steps work.

# Just add “mdns” at the end of the line that starts with “hosts:”. # The following is required by ubuntu, but does nothing in fedora # /home/your/share yourshare allow:username1,username2 cnidscheme:cdb options:usedots,upriv # -transall -uamlist uams_randnum.so,uams_dhx.so -nosavepassword -advertise_ssh # one line so be sure that there’s no line # and add this to the bottom (replace the whole The first backup will take a long time (like, a day or so, depending on the size of your hard drive).# Scroll to the very bottom of the document The Mac will run a backup every hour, if you are in the same network as your server. You should then be able to see the backup volume in the TimeMachine configuration to connect, use the username/password of the unix user you created above. If you have a firewall active, you need to open port 548, port 427 and port 4700 and then restart netatalk - for example, with ufw use these commands: sudo ufw allow 548 sudo ufw allow 427 sudo ufw allow 4700 sudo systemctl restart netatalk We then need to enable and start the avahi and netatalk daemons: sudo systemctl enable avahi-daemon sudo systemctl start avahi-daemon sudo systemctl enable netatalk sudo systemctl start netatalk Double the space is recommended to keep a history of file changes. Use at least as much space as your Mac disk has. The vol size limit is set in MB, so 700000 will be 700 GB.

LINUX NETATALK SERVER UPDATE

The config of netatalk is saved in /etc/netatalk/afp.conf - we update it as follows (again, replace your-username and srv/timemache with the values of your choice your-hostname will be the server name that appears in the TimeMachine configuration of your Mac): Netatalk 3.x configuration file hostname = your-hostname path = /srv/timemachine time machine = yes valid users = your-username vol size limit = 700000 (replace your-username and your-usergroup with the username of your choice, and /srv/timemachine with the folder of your choice)

We then need to create a directory and a user who is allowed to access this directory (or you can use an already existing user and/or directry): sudo useradd -no-create-home your-username sudo mkdir /srv/timemachine sudo chown your-username:your-usergroup /srv/timemachine

LINUX NETATALK SERVER INSTALL

We first need to install netatalk and the avahi-daemon - with netatalk, we need at least version 3, so if you are not on Ubuntu (or on an older Ubuntu install), make sure you have at least version 3. This was tested on Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS. ↜ back to Notes Overview TimeMachine backup to a Linux server published: / last edited: Īutomatically make a TimeMachine backup in the local network onto a Linux server.
