Nas Setup

• Connect external HD to Mac and format to HFS+ case sensitive

• Install Raspian on Raspberry Pi 2 Model B

• Setup wifi on raspberry pi

  • from https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/wireless-cli.md
  • connect wifi adaptor
  • search for networks: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | less
  • note the ESSID of the network to join
  • sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
  • add the following:

  network={
    ssid="The_ESSID_from_earlier"
    psk="Your_wifi_password"
  }
  

  • exit nano ctrl+x, y, enter
  • sudo reboot

• Install hfs tools:

  • sudo apt-get install hfsplus hfsutils hfsprogs

• Get the raspberry pi to power the HD

  • from http://www.htpcguides.com/power-2-5-hard-drive-with-raspberry-pi-b/

  • First see if the hd is connected properly:

  • sudo blkid if it is connected you will see it in the output

  • Update raspberry pi firmware

  • sudo rpi-update

  • sudo reboot

  • Set it to send all power to a single usb

  • sudo nano /boot/config.txt

  • Add this line to end:

  • max_usb_current=1

  • Ctrl+X, Y and Enter to save

  • sudo reboot

  • sudo blkid

  • Should now see HD connected

• Create a directory to mount to:

  • mkdir /mnt/meadows

• Mount the drive:

  • from http://superuser.com/questions/84446/how-to-mount-a-hfs-partition-in-ubuntu-as-read-write
  • sudo mount -t hfsplus -o remount,force,rw /dev/sda2 /mnt/meadows

• Add an entry to /etc/fstab to auto mount on boot:

  • from http://www.hackoopra.com/2014/11/07/raspberry-pi-private-cloud-nas-time-machine-osx-yosemite/
  • /dev/sda2 /mnt/meadows hfsplus force,rw 0 0
  • for some reason this isn't automounting but it's setup correct because sudo mount -a will mount it after a boot. I think the drive is just not ready in time to be auto mounted

• Enable AFP file sharing:

  • from http://gettingstartedwithraspberrypi.tumblr.com/post/24398167109/file-sharing-with-afp-and-auto-discovery-with
  • sudo apt-get install netatalk

• Set to share mount:

  • add entry to /etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default:
  • /mnt/meadows "Asphodel Meadows"

• create a user to share as

  • sudo useradd nas
  • sudo passwd nas

• set user as owner of mount

  • sudo chown -R nas /mnt/meadows/
