A quick heads-up that the macipgw PR has been merged into the main branch now. The addition of a config file is tracked in a separate ticket. If you find any bugs please let us know!

Do you have resources you could share for people to follow along and reproduce the NATed subnet for macipgw? Maybe that shell script you wrote is the best reference right now?

Thanks for sharing! I happen to have one of these LocalTalk ISA cards by Apple, so this will come in handy one day when I pick up a compatible PC...

macipgw presently has 6 parameters (one of them a debug flag) which is right about the threshold where a config file makes sense in my mind. And in general, separating daemon configuration from its init script is arguably preferable. The caveat with regards to macipgw is that is also requires...

You should expect macipgw to behave just like you're used to. I simply merged all relevant patches from the netatalk-classic and Jason King forks. They made the code more robust and 64-bit safe. What do you mean by having many ways to activate it? Many ways to build the code, or many ways to...

It is also my understanding that forking as a design decision is outdated, and that threads are superior in this era of multi-core CPUs. This is something that has indeed been on my mind ever since Apple started enforcing their anti-fork policy in Sonoma. (Bypassing the policy is not a hack per...

@Mk.558 Would you be able to test a macipgw integrated with netatalk? I have started a PR here and got as far as building it and starting the binary to confirm that it doesn't segfault. But this is as far as I could get before bed this evening. :) If you could build this and make sure nothing...

Netatalk 4.0.0 beta is available as a Docker image now. It comes with all the best parts of the 3.x release series, and the 2.x release series that you all know and love! https://hub.docker.com/r/netatalk/netatalk If you have a host computer with an AppleTalk network stack (Linux or NetBSD)...

Aren't snaps used only for Ubuntu's customized GUI applications, with the the core system packages remaining Debian debs? I guess I don't know your precise usecase. Anyhow, the "correct" upgrade path for you is Debian Bookworm. Guaranteed no shenanigans. ;) A virtual machine would definitely do...

@shirsch Do you have Docker Engine on your Ubuntu 18.04 system by any chance? Or would be open to installing it? By running netatalk in a Docker container you would bypass any troublesome software dependency caused by your aging OS.

@NJRoadfan I filed https://github.com/Netatalk/netatalk/issues/1448 Do you have a lead on how to fix it?

Thank you! At a related note: Netatalk 2.4.8 is available. I have not been announcing the last few releases here on the forums, because they were strictly addressing issues in the build system and packaging. However, this last one is a security release, specifically for the bundled WolfSSL...

@ironborn65 Late response. Apologies. :) So this is all good stuff. Will definitely take some development work but I can see the potential benefit for Docker users. May I ask you to create an issue ticket over at the GitHub project so that it can be tracked?

For all you Webmin fans, I took a few hours today to update the Webmin module to support AppleTalk and the added options (so far) in 4.0.0dev. It turned out really nicely.

It is wild that such a bug was not discovered for 13 years. By orphaned, you're saying that Netatalk won't read it again, or is it still read and processed on every access? At a related note, Netatalk has an option for automatically converting ADv2 metadata to EA metadata, called "convert...

You’re welcome! Naturally, a part of this alpha testing process is to ascertain in the field that we didn’t break things like this. ;)

There is a way, unchanged from netatalk 3.2: "appledouble = v2"

What NJRoadfan is saying in an indirect way here is that we're now looking for alpha testers of Netatalk 4.0.0. :) It's a one-way migration path from Netatalk 2.x, so please upgrade only on AFP volumes that have backups, or create fresh volumes for testing. 4.0.0 has a handful of new...

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...

These are good insights. I can see how this would be theoretically feasible. Do you have a particular mechanism in mind for monitoring changes to the config files (for option two)? The webmin module only writes to the config files when you hit the save button, so this won't be a problem.
