Server :: Best Option For Home Server?
Mar 16, 2011
I have a computer lying around here and decided to turn it into a server. I installed Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 and was wondering what software would be best for it. I already have some software in mind but wanted to know if anyone here has a better aproach to my needs.
I wanted it to serve as:
-HTTP server; Apache
-File server for other computers on the network; Samba
-Streaming music server; SubSonic
-DHCP server; dhcpd3
[Code]...
What special care should I take on configuring it all, taking into account that I'll be using two ethernet cards (LAN & WAN)? Also the DNS part seems really tricky to me, as my needs are to resolve network names in my network.. (I can't ping any computer by name and file sharing becomes difficult)

I want to install a DLNA server on my ubuntu home server. It will primarily be used for photo browsing on my PS3, but general media support would be nice. (I use Squeezebox server for music.) What are my options, and what are the main difference between them.

I and setting up a home web server using Ubuntu 10.04 server (local only). I am currently using Webmin 1.53 to access it remotely all is going great very easy to use. Webmin - Check, ftps-fileZilla - Check, Apache -It Works BUT I cant seam to set up Apache as a named server using Bind DSN. Tried most of the help in the fourms and ..... I think my problems is in the master server selection, do i have to use [URL]... or can i just use myservername. I have tryed both with no luck. First time with the server addition.
[code]...

I have one server at home, connected through a router that gives me a static IP:192.168.1.2 - My PC192.168.1.3 - CentOS serverI enabled the port 80 into router forwarding system and I can connect properly to CentOS server, using the IP my internet provider gives me. My router automatically forwards a changed IP to my dyndns.com account so I can also access the server through a domain name (I pay to have it linked to one of my domains).My next step is to configure the mail server (dovecot) , so I can send emails from my local server(192.168.1.3).I was wondering if anyone has any tutorial links or tips to have the mail server configured through a home internet provider + home router.

I'm going to start a new thread because previous searches have not totally satisfied my question. I've read all day about doing this but each inquiry leads to discussion of configuring the router. I am also not network savy. I would like to set up an FTP server on my home computer (presently Ubuntu 8.10). I have only one computer. I am using DSL with my telephone line for internet connection. I do not use a router.
Is it possible to do this with no router and only a DSL ISP connection?

OS: CentOS 5.3
vsftpd ver: vsftpd-2.0.5-12.el5_3.1
I installed vsftpd server in one of my servers using "yum install vsftpd" command. NFS server is running in the other server and mounted as "/data" in this FTP server. root in FTP server has also root authority in NFS server. All the files and sub-folders under "/data" in FTP server have 755 or 766 mode. Even I modified vsftpd setting to allow root login.
When I login as root to FTP server with FileZilla client, I can see all the file list in root home directory and move to /data directory. I can download any file in a local HDD but I can not download any file in /data directory.

I'd like to know what solutions do you, people, use to backup a live system that acts as a small home mail/file/irc/web server and some other purposes. For example, right now, to backup the mail, I have to stop fetchmail, kill vixie-cron to avoid any problem and then do the backup. Then restart vixie-cron.I wonder if there's any solution that will leave me do the backup without all this hassle.

I have both windows (xp and win7) and mac (osx snow leopard) running on my network. I'd like to find a unified system that I could use as a file server. Mainly, I'd like to have it hold music and movies, maybe run some automated backups from a win 7 desktop. I'd also like it to be a print server. I'd like to run the most simple and lightest weight OS for the server os. However, I don't think I have the basic linux knowledge to run Ubuntu Server as it is terminal based. I have installed it on my machine but I feel like im running in circles. I have it installed and can SSH in with my laptop no problem. I feel like I may be better off installing Ubuntu Desktop and removing what I dont need. at htis time the server has only a 40gig hdd in it, i also have a 500gb hdd i'd be using for the files.

I am trying to set up a web based FTP site on my home server, I got ftp up and running and I can log into it using an ftp client but I want to set it up so I can get to it from the web. I put the directory in the www/html folder but that does not seem to help it
If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great. I also need to let anonymous users get access to it.

Currently I use FreeNAS, which is a FreeBSD-based NAS distribution for my home server. However, I would like to move to a Linux-based home server with the ability for new software packages to be installed, which is a problem with FreeNAS. I use Lucid beta on my Dell Mini 10v, and have two Windows 7 and one Windows XP desktop(s), with all of them connected via Gigabit ethernet and Wifi N.
The home server would act as a file server (SMB and whatever the best one is for my Ubuntu netbook), a media server (UPnP, MT-DAAPD/iTunes and DLNA for my PS3), as a webserver and as a VirtualBox server just to experiment with. The server itself has a 160GB PATA drive which will be for the OS, and a 1TB SATA drive to be for the data; Gigabit ethernet; an AMD Athlon 64 2.2GHz (with AMD-V) and 1GB RAM.Are there any things you would recommend for me to install? I think that having a window manager would be nice, even if just for initial setup since I am not very experienced with command-line Linux. I'm planning on installing Webmin and a VNC/SSH server so I can configure it remotely. I don't need any firewall or VPN services as these will be provided by a pfSense box separate from this.

I'm just setting up my first home server with ubuntu and I would like the box to suspend to ram when no one is accessing it for a while (let's say for 1 hour)The wake up task is already done and is working fine so far; but how can I put the machine to sleep automatically?I guess I have to watch for network-traffic but have no clue how to do it.

I'm trying to setup a pseudo home server. Basically I just want to be able to log into my machine from work. The problem is that I have a dynamic IP address.My question is probably obvious, but bare with me: I know that you can login to a computer by its name (ie. ssh ApacheRoseXBones@HomeStation.stuff). What does one need to do to be able to log into their machine like this?

I am looking to probably make a home server act as a backup for most of my data but also as a media server. I want to host all my music and videos for the most part on the server and then regardless what computer I'm using I could listen or watch. (Another question would be could I have itunes find my music on the server and play it).
But anyway, from people with home media servers, what kind of bandwidth usage do you go through a month? Comcast (ISP) limits me to 250GB and I'm thinking this is enough for moderate usage, I just want to make sure before I start the project.

I have a new home server I built this weekend with 4 x 320 GB Seagate Barracuda SATA drives. I am going to load my O.S. this week however I don't have a RAID controller so I would like to utilize 'Software RAID' via 'mdadm' package. My question is since this is a general home server with no specific function rather than hold my data reliabily and resonably fast, how do you guys recommend I configure my partitions for RAID? What level would be best with my 4 drive configuration? RAID5 or RAID10? Should I use a 3 drive RAID and use the 4th as a spare? Please let me know what you recommend as I don't have a lot of expertise with what is not practical or useless when it comes to Mdadm RAID.

There is a differentiation between a 'Server' install and a 'Server-GUI' install.
Using CentOS 5.4 DVD 1 graphic install...

So far I have not found a way to view the packages that are installed with the 'SERVER-GUI' option.
I would like to upgrade my 'Server' to a 'Server-GUI'.
