After more than one year with my NAS build over an ALIX, I bought a Raspberry pi 2 and I want to check if the “USB POWER BUG” is resolved now.
I don’t need an high speed NAS so the speed issue with the shared PCI link between USB hub and network adapter is not so important.
Advantages of a Raspberry pi 2 setup are:
- Less power consumption: raspberry drain half the power of an Alix card
- Flexibility: 4 USB ports instead of 2
- Smaller: Raspberry Pi 2 is smaller than Alix board
So this is a copy&paste from my previous post, adapted for the new environment
Contents
Install Raspbian lite
Go to Raspbian download page and download the lite version
Install VIM
# apt-get install vim
Add new user
# useradd -m -s /bin/bash sarbyn # passwd sarbyn
Add user to sudo
# visudo --- add user
Install NTFS-3G
# apt-get install ntfs-3g
Fstab and volumes
# mkdir /mnt/TimeMachine # mkdir /mnt/MUSIC # chown sarbyn:sarbyn /mnt/MUSIC # chown sarbyn:sarbyn /mnt/TimeMachine UUID=206606FF6606D606 /mnt/MUSIC ntfs-3g rw,defaults 0 0 UUID=03c90579-88f0-4478-ae8d-adc64972a07d /mnt/TimeMachine ext4 defaults 0 0
Samba
# apt-get install samba samba-common-bin # service samba stop # mv /var/lib/samba /var/tmp/samba # ln -s /var/tmp/samba /var/lib/samba # smbpasswd -a sarbyn
[mnt] path = /mnt read only = Yes guest only = Yes guest ok = Yes [mnt_RW] path = /mnt read only = No valid user = sarbyn browseable = yes writable = yes
SSH
$ mkdir .ssh $ chmod 0700 .ssh/ $ cd .ssh $ ls $ vim authorized_keys $ chmod 600 authorized_keys
Disable root login and plaintext login in /etc/ssh/sshd_config file
Transmission
# apt-get install transmission-daemon # service transmission-daemon start
FIX cracklib config
I don’t know if it is required with new Jessie debian version…but I’ve repeated it
# apt-get install cracklib-runtime # create-cracklib-dict /usr/share/dict/* Before root@voyage:/var/cache/cracklib# ls -la -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1024 Oct 4 13:28 cracklib_dict.hwm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16 Oct 4 13:28 cracklib_dict.pwd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16 Oct 4 13:28 cracklib_dict.pwi -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65 Oct 4 13:17 src-dicts AFTER root@voyage:/var/cache/cracklib# ls -la -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1024 Oct 7 22:46 cracklib_dict.hwm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 412696 Oct 7 22:46 cracklib_dict.pwd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22968 Oct 7 22:46 cracklib_dict.pwi -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65 Oct 4 13:17 src-dicts
# cd /usr/lib/ # root@voyage:/usr/lib# ln -s /var/cache/cracklib/cracklib_dict.hwm # root@voyage:/usr/lib# ln -s /var/cache/cracklib/cracklib_dict.pwd # root@voyage:/usr/lib# ln -s /var/cache/cracklib/cracklib_dict.pwi
Netatalk
*DON’T USE NETATALK FROM DEBIAN REPOS*
The older version of netatalk are VERY…VERY unstable. Download the sources from Netatalk site and follow —> this tutorial <—
# apt-get install build-essential libevent-dev libssl-dev libgcrypt11-dev libkrb5-dev libpam0g-dev libwrap0-dev libdb-dev libtdb-dev libmysqlclient-dev avahi-daemon libavahi-client-dev libacl1-dev libldap2-dev libcrack2-dev systemtap-sdt-dev libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libglib2.0-dev tracker libtracker-sparql-1.0-dev libtracker-miner-1.0-dev
# apt-get install avahi-daemon # insserv avahi-daemon # insserv netatalk # /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start # /etc/init.d/netatalk start
Edit “/usr/local/etc/afp.conf”.
[Global]
; Global server settings
uam list = uams_dhx.so,uams_dhx2.so
set password = yes
[MusicAFP]
path = /mnt/MUSIC
[TimeMachineAFP]
path = /mnt/TimeMachine
time machine = yes
Add user to Netatalk (using the SHORT password)
# afppasswd -an sarbyn
FIX BOOT
The NTFS volume does not mount at boot, so add some lines on /etc/rc.local
# vim /etc/rc.local service transmission-daemon stop mount -a swapon /mnt/MUSIC/swapfile service transmission-daemon start # chmod +x /etc/rc.local
NOIP client
# wget http://www.no-ip.com/client/linux/noip-duc-linux.tar.gz # tar xzf noip-duc-linux.tar.gz # cd no-ip-2.1.9 # make # make install # sudo noip2 -U 60
Install RPI monitor
Rpi monitor is a small web application that shows usage statistics of a raspberry pi board. Install rpi monitor following this link
Configure /etc/rpimonitor/storage.conf in order to setup storage monitoring and edit the /etc/rpimonitor/data.conf in order to include the storage.conf entry.
Optional – MiniDLNA support
If you need miniDLNA support follow this link
Final step – do a MicroSD backup
Now is all setted up but it’s better to do a MicroSD backup using dd
# dd if=DISK of=raspinas-backup.img bs=1m
