To continue the barrage of Netatalk topics, I just wanted to share that you are now able run an AFP server on macOS, if you're bummed out that Apple deprecated their AFP server with 10.9 Mavericks.

The release of Netatalk 3.1.15 marks the culmination of 2 years of hard work by dgsga, originally in their own fork, to get Netatalk running on Mac hardware again.

I tagged and released it a few hours ago: https://github.com/Netatalk/netatalk/releases/tag/netatalk-3-1-15

The installation process is very straight forward, as documented in the wiki: https://github.com/Netatalk/netatalk/wiki/Installing-on-macOS

Please note that this is netatalk3, so AppleTalk/DDP is not supported.
