Postinstallation

done

• Static IP:

Follow this guide:http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/566-install-samba-server-in-ubuntu-karmic but used the existing user for

• Postfix :with  gmail relying according to http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/11/11/relaying-postfix-smtp-via-smtpgmailcom/ 

•  JdDownloader: first install vncserver:

• apt-get install -y vnc4server xinetd

  run vnc4passwd (enter desired pwd

  to run vncserver on startup: add this lieno to /etc/rc.local just before exit =

  • su "myusername" -c 'vnc4server :1 -geometry 1024x768 '

• Install JAVA (since transmission works not with OpenJDK) 

  sudo add-apt-repository “deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner”

  sudo apt-get update 

  sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin 

• Download transmission over VNC

  $wget -c http://212.117.163.148/jd.sh

  After download let's make it executable and run it :

  $chmod +x jd.sh
$./jd.sh

  
  
  
  

• INSTALL WLAN Chipset (ZyDas1211) (Follow  http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/WLAN/wpa_supplicant
   
• To get MAC Address:
•  ifconfig -a
• to initially start it
• sudo ifconfig wlan0 up

• Edit /etc/initd.interfaces so it will start from boot  (comment out eth0)

##WLAN
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address "your desired IP"
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
wpa-ssid "mynetwork"
wpa-psk "mypassphrase"
wpa-proto RSN
wpa-key_mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-pairwise CCMP
wpa-group TKIP

 
 

TO DO

• move torrent after finish: http://1000umbrellas.com/2010/04/28/how-to-automatically-move-and-remove-transmission-daemon-downloads does not work
• TOR & privoxy
• BAckup Pics and docs on the machine

transmission torretn client 2.0 on karmic

according to http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/06/install-new-improved-transmission-20-in.html

JDOWNLOADER - Rapidshare on the headless machine

Since torrents are getting scarce on the net, rapidshare seems to be an option

Install

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin fluxbox tightvncserver

Setting up vnc server 

vncpasswd

vncserver

Connect with VncClient, like tightvnc (according to the port and pwd selected above)


in the vnc Window (X server needed) install jdwonloader


with

$wget -c http://212.117.163.148/jd.sh

After download let's make it executable and run it :

$chmod +x jd.sh
$./jd.sh

Since my headless machine has only 128MB RAM , Jdownloader crashes after 5hours or so. Therefore I kill the java PID and restart it using cron (Assuming there is a vnc session on display1 and I configured JDownloader to automatically restart the app on startup)

7 0,6,12,18 * * * killall java >/dev/null 2>&1; export DISPLAY=:1 ;/usr/bin/java -Xmx512m -jar .jd/JDownloader.jar >/dev/null 2>&1

or even better: start the beast lke this in a vncserver bash

  while true; do killall java; java -Xmx1024m -jar /home/daevu/.jd/JDownloader.jar; sleep 21000; done

$ transmission-remote -a one.torrent two.torrent

transmission-remote -tall --start


To move finished torretns to a predefined directory

- sudo apt-get install php5-cli
- add stop-and-move-finished.php script, modify it to your needs and
- make a cronjob
0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /usr/bin/php /home/daevu/top-and-move-finished.php >/dev/null 2>&1
