I responded to the TLS 1.0 situation over at the corresponding TD thread, but in short I don't think it can be easily overcome unless the website owner updates their cryptography. In fact, I can't load this website even with Python 3.9 on Raspbian Bullseye. Regarding npr.org, Macproxy Plus...

It's not a bad idea to have something like podman running on a proxmox hypervisor, and then container based deployments of all relevant software components. Gives you a nice abstraction layer with automation for configuration and deployment of individual components. Netatalk is obviously...

As a concrete example, OpenBSD has chosen not to provide EA capabilities in their default file systems (FFS, FFS2) and probably never will. I don't have any intention to remove AppleDouble v2 from netatalk.

I have observed that certain AppleShare Client versions ignore the server supplied icon and always uses the default one from the client’s resource fork. Haven’t mapped out exactly which ones behave like this though.

@NJRoadfan what would you say is the expected behavior for resource fork EAs when running a non-Solaris OS with ZFS, say FreeBSD? Is the org.netatalk.ResourceFork EA a Solaris extension?

You're welcome! Please let me know if you have any suggestions how to improve the docs or the software. I had the same thought at first! Unfortunately if you don't pass an icon to the AFP client you get exactly that: A volume without an icon. Just the volume name text on the desktop. What was...

@pl212 It's a great blog post, thanks for sharing! I read it a a while ago. :) The change in Netatalk v4 is that I removed the two leftmost icons from icon.h, and added these two that I drew. The top one is the new default, and the bottom can be activated with "legacy icon = sdcard". The rest...

I can address both of these. The volume name has an easy solution: Put a "volume name = My Volume" line in the volume definition to get case sensitive volume names. The netatalk 4.2.0 release notes talks about the reason for this change. Regarding the volume icon: In previous versions, the...

@saybur The ad toolsuite is meant to solve this exact problem, but as you've noticed it's terribly buggy. The one known workaround is to carry out the commands with the exact user that owns the shared volume root dir on the host. You can try chowning it to your main user and try again. I tried...

Good stuff, thanks for reporting back. A stable release will follow shortly. There are no other functional changes in this intermediate version apart from the Docker parameters.

The PRs have been merged! These changes will be included in the next stable release (aiming for some time next week.)

Thank you for the feedback! You're absolutely right, I accidentally caused a breakage while refactoring the container entrypoint script. This should bring back RandNum auth without using INSECURE_AUTH: https://github.com/Netatalk/netatalk/pull/2338 Would it be sufficient to have a login...

When in doubt about your filesystem's capabilities, set the "ea" option to the default "auto" (which when editing afp.conf directly means not setting it at all). This way, netatalk will check if the host OS filesystem can handle xattr and turns on filesystem EA if the check succeeds. I'm glad...

Netatalk 4.3.0 was released today. It includes the new sqlite CNID backend. It is still flagged as experimental, and should only be used for testing at this point. Still, now is a great time to try it out! I'm looking forward to your feedback.

FWIW, the extension mapping existed in netatalk 2 as well, but it was hidden away in the obscure config file "AppleVolumes.system" ;) Can you elaborate what the @eadir situation is all about? If you have terminal access to the system, you can use xattr to try setting and getting EA from...
