Just wondering if it is normal or if it is not, where I am going wrong.

#Rpi netatalk time machine how to#
I am wondering how to set the max size for a time machine share in the smb.conf file. Reboot ( sudo reboot ) and then check with iwgetid if you are connected to your Wifi Install AFP support: netatalk. this command would copy the contents of world2 to the /world2 directory on the remote machine) Share. LEDs are to show status of running programs.I have a quick question on a time machine share that I've set up. scp from a Mac to RPi works as expected and doesnt require any additional software on the RPi. and this version of Netatalk also supports Time Machine. There are going to be buttons for restarting and rebooting as well.Īll more complicated or configuration tasks requiring Keyboard and screen are done via SSH or VNC. There is software that you can install on the Raspberry Pi so that your Macintosh computers can. This increases boot duration by 10 seconds but does not send the Pi in emergency mode if the drive is missing. dev/somedisk hfsplus defaults,noatime,nofail,vice-timeout10,force,rw,uid99,gid99,umask0000 0 2. I'm going to program some scripts to these buttons to turn off Netatalk and easily and safely unmount and eject the HDD to use it for other stuff - and to plug it in and turn everything on again when I'm done with it. Use the right fstab options for static mounting.

My big issue was setting up netatalk correctly so that Mac OS X would recognize my mounted USB drive on my raspberry pi as a time machine network capsule. I built a box for my RaspberryPi from my good old Legos which incorporates 5 buttons, 2 LEDs and a breadboard connected on GPIO. I've seen various posts off/on about how to setup a raspberry pi as a networked Time Machine for macs, but have never been able to successfully complete it despite hours of trying. My raspi is running headless, and the HDD I use for Time Machine (working great BTW thanks to this guide) is partitioned and is also used as general storage and will not be plugged in 24/7.
#Rpi netatalk time machine update#
To start, update your installed software, and install Netatalk (the Apple file sharing service) and Gparted (the disk partitioning tool we'll use): Power down your Pi, connect your storage drive, and boot your Pi back up. I'm assuming that you're starting with a clean installation of Raspbian, configured for your network as desired. There is no netatalk package available in Debian Jessie (it was removed after Wheezy) and Kodi also had built in support for Netatalk removed quite some time ago. I felt it would be better to use a native Linux filesystem, since the drive is going to be connected to a Linux machine (the rPi).
However, the drive is going to be shared over your network, so it doesn't matter what its filesystem is. The advantage of doing this is that you can partition and format your backup drive on your Mac, so you don't have to mess with doing that under Linux. One thing I noticed about the other guides is that they call for installing HFS+ support on the rPi. Here's another method that only requires manual installation of two software packages (and one of them isn't really required, if you're familiar with fdisk under Linux). I've looked at a number of guides on how to use your rPi as a Time Capsule to back up your Mac using Time Machine, but all that I've seen involve installing quite a bit of software that really isn't needed, compiling software from source, and a bunch of other things that just aren't really necessary.
