OpenBSD 6.1 Netatalk and Time Machine

[srivo]

Here is an update of my Netatalk and Time Machine for OpenBSD 6.1.

This is now easier than before with version 6.1.

Install the following package :

pkg_add netatalk

Choose Netatalk 3.1.11 when asked which version to install. All the needed dependency will be grab automatically.

Modify the /etc/netatalk/afp.conf file:

[Global]
vol preset = default_for_all_vol
hostname = openbsd
log file = /var/log/netatalk.log
mimic model = Xserver
keep sessions = yes
 
[default_for_all_vol]
file perm = 0664
directory perm = 0774
cnid scheme = dbd
 
[Homes]
basedir regex = /home
time machine = yes

Enable de services:

rcctl enable messagebus avahi_daemon netatalk

Start the services:

rcctl start messagebus avahi_daemon netatalk

In a few minute you should see the shared folder on your Mac. You can also force it by using cmd+K and typing the network address of your OpenBSD server.
afp://192.168.xxx.xxx

Done! You will now be able to backup you Mac using Time Machine in your personal folder on OpenBSD.

Keep for later.
