Description

Installs netatalk from deb-src package with SSL support.

Requirements

• Ubuntu 10.04, 12.04
• Debian 6.0

Attributes

The attributes set in the cookbook are used for managing settings for
the shares that should be in AppleVolumes.default, and the base
directory shared over AFP.

Usage

The default netatalk package on Debian/Ubuntu does not have SSL
support, so newer Mac OS X clients will be unable to authenticate.

Include the "netatalk" recipe on the desired node's run list. This
recipe will include the "netatalk::build_deb" recipe, which
downloads the source package and builds with SSL support. The
build_deb recipe will install the build dependencies to use debuild to
build the netatalk package. This does take quite some time to build.

Once the package is built, it will be installed with dpkg. The base
share directory will be created as well, and the AppleVolumes.default
share config file will be written.

The shares do need to be configured, and you can set up the attributes
in a role, e.g. "netatalk_server" with default or override attributes:

"netatalk" => {
  "share_base" => "/srv/export",
  "share_base_owner" => "jtimberman",
  "share_base_group" => "jtimberman",
  "shares" => [
    '~/ "Home Directory"',
    '/srv/export/timemachine "TimeMachine" allow:jtimberman cnidscheme:cdb'
  ]
}
