Macproxy, the best* way to browse the modern web on ancient browsers, has a new release: v24.8 This is a maintenance release, since the Python dependencies were starting to age and accumulate security advisories. But, it also comes with a brand new "official" Docker image. Pull it from Docker...

All of the relevant code from 2.x has now been restored to the main development branch, and the build system has been retooled to build it. The next step will be to adapt the various interfaces that were refactored or simplified during the 3.0 release cycle. Notably, the daemon child process...

The current Netatalk release series (2.x and 3.x) are finally in a good place where we have a modern and flexible build system, with fully functioning user authentication. I can finally pivot to what I wanted to do in the first place: consolidate the best of 2.x and 3.x into one Mac file sharing...

Netatalk 2.4.4 is available. This is yet again a build system bugfix release, working towards stabilizing Debian deb packaging. If Netatalk is working fine for you, take this is an optional upgrade. At this point, I consider the current Netatalk release series (2.4.x, 3.2.x) stable and "done"...

Netatalk 2.x's afpd is not aware of macOS / OSX filesystem EA (Extended Attributes). It stores filesystem metadata in the legacy AppleDouble v2 format by default, which are binary metadata files living in dot-folders. This article is a good introduction...

The location of the config files depends on how the software was installed, so it's not something that can be explicitly documented in the manual. The most sure way to know is to ask netatalk directly. If you have installed netatalk 2.x, run afpd -V. This is an example from my Sonoma MBA: %...

Version 2.4.3 is out now. This is mainly a Meson build system feature and bugfix release, as part of my effort to deliver Debian deb packaging of Netatalk. It fixes fun stuff such as Kerberos API checks, 64 bit architecture detection, library runpaths, pkgconfdir overrides, and support for...

Thank you! If anyone wants to lean in, the ticket is https://github.com/Netatalk/netatalk/issues/1204

From my perspective, your opinion as a user is the most valuable of all. :) I agree that macipgw not being updated for 9 years is worrying. It's unlikely to build cleanly on modern systems anymore. There are pros and cons to integrating macipgw into netatalk proper. Some practical concerns...

How do you imagine macipgw could be best incorporated with netatalk? What is the drawback of the current situation where macipgw is its own project that you can install and run if you need it? How would the user experience improve if the two projects were more closely integrated? I'm genuinely...

Continuing the saga of old-school encryption in Netatalk, we released version 2.4.2 today which addresses a licensing issue raised by the Debian project. As a result, we have reverted to relying on OpenSSL/LibreSSL with the bundled SSL provider... for the CAST algorithm only. This is only a...

Netatalk 2.4.1 has been released today! It contains a patch for a published CVE vulnerability, so it's recommended to upgrade your 2.x deployment, especially if serves a public IP. We also restore support for SLP (Server Location Protocol) in the Meson build system, for those who you like to...

Thanks for trying out netatalk, and for sharing your story! This is a valuable “newcomer” perspective that helps us continuously improve. Good job unblocking yourself. Do you remember exactly what the log messages said? And the full list of packages you installed to make it work? If libcrack...

The easiest way? Wait until the next PiSCSI release. ;) One trick you can do is to edit PiSCSI’s easyinstall.sh and update the line that defines the netatalk version number. Should be in the function called `installNetatalk()’. It should just work. But let me know if you try it and run into...

The Netatalk team is proud to present version 2.4.0 of the venerable AFP file sharing suite. Grab the source code, or a Docker image, today! This version is primarily a future-proofing release, introducing the modern Meson build system, while integrating an embedded WolfSSL as the encryption...

FYI I edited your post to update the URL. I recently made some tweaks to the namings of those wiki pages. I'm pleased to hear that the installation guide worked for you!

So regarding the webmin bug, using your examples I could find two corner case situations when data gets lost: 1) when editing a shared volume where the dir doesn't actually exist and 2) when editing a 1 or 2 line afpd.conf (i.e. when all the comment lines are removed.) I'll fix these in the...

BTW a tip: you can put options on the DEFAULT line to avoid repeating them for every single shared volume. For instance: :DEFAULT: volsizelimit:2000 allow:alex

Error -50 often means that the resource fork could not be created. Which in the context of netatalk likely means that file system permissions aren't allowing the creation of AppleDouble meta data files. The files that you are able to copy likely don't have resource forks in the first place...

Oh no, sorry for the data loss! Would you be able to share with me your AppleVolumes.default file? There may be a bug in the parsing logic that I can fix if I know what the sequence of options are. Good to hear that the file sharing works now!
