TimeMachine using Netatalk and Ubuntu

December 19th, 2008 Posted in Linux, Programming, Uncategorized

Just a few notes on how I setup Netatalk to run in ubuntu:

Install Netatalk with SSL Support

$ sudo aptitude update
$ mkdir -p ~/src/netatalk
$ cd ~/src/netatalk
$ sudo aptitude install devscripts cracklib2-dev dpkg-dev libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
$ apt-get source netatalk
$ sudo apt-get build-dep netatalk
$ cd netatalk-2.0.3
$ sudo DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=ssl debuild -i -us -uc -b
$ sudo debi
$ echo "netatalk hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
 

Other things I did to get it working:

  • defaults write com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_cleartext_allow -bool true
  • Renamed my Mac to “MacBookPro” removing all spaces and special charaters.
  • Turn TimeMachine Off
  • defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
  • Create the sparebundle:
    • hdiutil create -size 140g -fs HFS+J -volname “Backup of MacBookPro” MacBookPro_0023df82da1c.sparsebundle
  • Copy the sparse bundle to the networked drive.
  • Turn TimeMachine On by using “Choose Disk” and selecting the desired network share
