K,
another node would be awesome! we’ll setup remote access to it (SSH) so that when we finalize the tests on the virtual machine and decide which client to go with, we’ll implement the solution on Adam and your node and see how things go practically.
There might be some missing info in the pages, so if you’re gonna do the implementation and find something missing, let us know.
1. sudo apt-get install no-ip
2. sudo apt-get install hdparm
3. Creating Dynamic DNS at no-ip could use a bit more guidance for newbies.
4. More info about adding Samba users (where the password goes .. using sudo)
If this could be automated into a script it might be easier for people to setup.
3) write the info you need added here so we could slap it in
4) I can whip a PHP script in a web interface to do this — at a later time when the box ready for cloning
I am going to redo the install and write everything down this time .. keeping it as simple/straightforward as possible for someone without any previous linux experience to go through it.
When we were going through the implementation, we were at a stage were we justed wanted the bloody thing to work! (motherboard manual sucked & we could’ve fried everything, old case sucked, Samba’s documentation is as simple as space shuttle design, …etc. — you get the picture).
As I said before, we just want to get one node (Adam) fully completed, then we’ll be able to re-create another, and then I’ll start writing the web-based config stuff & in the end bundle it all as a distro.
MBh
I set it up using one harddrive; didn’t have a chance to evaluate the RAID part. The majority of it was fairly straightforward .. I am getting a *new* system this weekend, and then I will really be able to put it through the tests.
Bojacob:
Good luck with that .. my upload is ridiculously throttled (4mb/640k) to the extent that I shifted my torrenting overseas to maintain ratios.

I am going to follow the guides on this page from an idiots perspective .. this site might benefit as a wiki-page.

MBH, Openfiler updates have been delayed. Good thing we didn’t wait :P

Just finished setting up dn2 .. initial points:
1. sudo apt-get install no-ip
2. sudo apt-get install hdparm
3. Creating Dynamic DNS at no-ip could use a bit more guidance for newbies.
4. More info about adding Samba users (where the password goes .. using sudo)

Thanks for the feedback :)

Cool — I appreciate your effort!

Holy hell, how did I miss all this!
I admire the initiative, and I sure as heck will bug you guys with my unwanted help!
Issue with the upload speed is the friggin asymmentic nature of ADSL and our crappy MOC lines.
Anyway, I have my own personal NAS server running. I’ll see if I can bug Qnet into upping my upload from 512k.
Gotta push for co-location. Home lines aren’t going to cut it once this grows. I’ll see what I can do from my side.

Bojacob, yeah the upload thing is still being looked into. I think KEMS provides symmetrical DSL. More ISP profiling here :)

Could this be a possibility for sharing files:

Whats any project without a logo ..
Here is an idea, its supposed to look like two ds (diwaniya) connected:

Mutella is based on the gnutella network, which connects to globlal peers. Btw, if you don’t mind, could you add your 4MB data to the ISP blog?

K, I was hoping the logo would contain an N somewhere :/
“Dewaniya” is very generic, don’t you think?
