How do you find Devuan Ceres?

Solid, fast, and overall very pleasing to use. It's just Debian without the systemd monster But i'm still waiting for some systemd crap to come sneaking in

Same old, except running Devuan/SID, with no !@#$ systemd

Hot?

dev.cpu.3.temperature: 34.0C
dev.cpu.2.temperature: 34.0C
dev.cpu.1.temperature: 37.0C
dev.cpu.0.temperature: 37.0C

FreeBSD+ZFS is amazing! But I might just go back to Debian in a few days lol. Fun to set up though

Ha! I knew it! 

Icons are evil, and confusing.
Messes up with my workflow

I use a mono spaced font, awesome for coding

I should show you my vimrc, it changes colors after what i'm coding, python is in green, c is in red and so forth

My laptop:

"Doing stuff"


"Doing nuffin"


And NO, no inconsolata font this time, found a better one for coding

So this awesome lady, which btw. doesn't look a day over 45, is turning 70 in may

I've heard about it, but I like my i3 like i like my coffee, strong and compact

  Looks good Jedi 
I bet your kernel compile time will be cut in half now 

Yes it's real 10.0.0.* is faster to type than 192.168.*

How to setup that old ancient/obsolete computer of yours, into a powerful and fully fledged
fileserver, media server, torrent downloader in less than 20min (ish)


1. Check the hardware, to actually see if the hardware still works (a live cd will do)
2. Install VSIDO or Debian, or whatever really, NO! Not Wintendo please


I'll go along using my own hardware/experience in this guide

This mainboard is so low power, so it's not even funny. On full load (CPU 100%) it uses 7 watt


Use what drives you have, and since it's mainly a fileserver, i used JBOD/LVM to create one single partition:

Secure? Not much. Reliable? Pretty much

Ok, enough showing off, let's get cracking!


1. Install, reboot, apt-get update, etc etc (you know the drill?)


2. NFS
   1. # apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common rpcbind
   2. Create a dir to share (/share is a good option)
   3. Edit /etc/exports:
    /share          *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
   4. Save the file (^X)
   5. type as root "exportfs -a"
      Check on your desktop if it is working: "showmount -e <ip of server>"
      *** If not, rpcbind can be a bit of a b***, so a reboot might be needed (was in my case)
   6. fstab time!
      Edit your fstab on your desktop : This is what mine looks like (change to match yours)
      10.0.0.100:/share       /mnt/share      nfs4        rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,_netdev      0   0
   7. Save/exit
   8. type as root (mount -a) to test if it works (df -h)
   9 If it does, great


3. Samba
   1. # apt-get install samba samba-client
   2. I use the same share as with NFS, why? Cause I can, and cause it works for me
   
   Do something like this in your smb.conf in /etc
   
   

[share]
path = /share
browseable = yes
available = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
force user = <user>
create mask = 0644
directory mask = 0755
      
   3. Save and exit
   4. # smbpassword -a <user>
   5. restart samba
   6. check on Wintendo machine if the share shows up (it should!)


4. Plexmedia server
   1. # echo "deb http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/debian wheezy main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
   2. # curl http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/shell-ninthgate-se-keyring.key | sudo apt-key add -
   3. # apt-get update
   4. # apt-get install plexmediaserver
   5. Plex can then be found at http://<ip>:32400/web
   ** Refer to plex doc for setting it up ( https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200264746-Quick-Start-Step-by-Step )
   
5. Torrent downloader
   1. I use the deluge webinterface
   2. Install deluge-web
   3. Run 'deluge-web' in a screen (I am lazy! Bite me lol)
   4. Open http://<ip>:8112/
      password is : deluge
      


6. What else? Really up to you, an ftp server maybe (I prefer ssh/sshfs/sftp)


!!NB: This is a rough and simple guide/howto, If you need a more through and through guide, i'll be happy to help with that. Just wanted to share what i've been using for almost a year by now.
