Hey guys I have a spare AMD dual core shuttle currently doing nothing so I am thinking of slinging ubuntu server on it and getting a few services configured.
I am a noob I am not a programmer and I am coming from a Windows world.
The initial goals I have are
Samba server sharing data to Windows machine I also want to learn about how to secure shares and create users who can access shares.
Torrent server having the ability to download torrents and serve them up via the samba shares. -
Deluged is pretty easy to config - after you install deluged, just see the thinclient guide. Don't use rtorrent unless you want to work a bit
Some kind of media streaming to both PS3 and Windows 7 PC -
Plex - The app for android requires $, but is otherwise free. Some people have complained that plex and whatever torrent program they have are conflicting in ports - make sure that you set the port range in Deluged so that it does not include 3400
FTP what is the best FTP service to use? I need a guide that explains how to set it up how to secure and how to create users and shares. -
Depends really, theirs vsftpd, pure-ftpd, proftpd, not to mention many others... Personally, I would just use SFTP and get it over with
Some easy method of backing up my samba shares -
rsync or rdiff-backup - where are you backing it up to?
If somebody has done something similar or can point me in the direction of noob friendly guides that would be most helpful like I said before I am not a programmer or a command line genius I just want clear concise steps to get stuff configured and working
Or is this to much to ask?
