OS

Media runs a vanilla install of Ubuntu 19.04. Give it the static IP of 10.0.40.19 (gateway 10.0.40.1, subnet 255.255.255.0, dns 10.0.40.66) and make sure that the pi hole has an entry in it's /etc/hosts file so that it resolve locally in the shop.

Drives

There are currently 4 drives: a boot and three data drives. The data drives all mount to /var/ftp/pub thusly:

ubuntu@files:~$ grep -v \# /etc/fstab
UUID=0c6017b8-2df7-4dfa-bfb3-0ce05ac07695 /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
UUID=2550-3646  /boot/efi       vfat    umask=0077      0       1
/swapfile       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/sdc2       /var/ftp/pub/infocon.org        ntfs    ro      0       0
/dev/sdd2       /var/ftp/pub/tables1-2  ntfs    ro      0       0
/dev/sdb2       /var/ftp/pub/tables2-2  ntfs    ro      0       0

Apache

Apache is installed (sudo install apache2) and then the default vhost is edited to point to /var/ftp and browsing is enabled:

grep -v \# /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf 
<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /var/ftp
        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

        <Directory "/var/ftp">
            Options Indexes MultiViews
            AllowOverride None
            Require all granted
        </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

FTP

TBD - Muffins to put a sentance or three about set up here ;)

rssh chrooted setup

rssh allows for just rsync/scp/sftp access with out letting the user log in with SSH.

To set rssh up, first make sure that prereqs are installed (apt-get install openssh-server openssh-sftp-server ssh-import-id ncurses-term) and then install rssh directly from this pacakage (dpkg -i rssh_2.3.4-7ubuntu0.1_amd64.deb). The reason for this is 19.04, at the time of publishing, didn't have the rssh package in it's repos, so we add it manually via dpkg

Add a media user (useradd media) and specify a password of media. Then set their shell to be rssh in /etc/passwd. Note User ID (1001) may differ, that's unimportant:

media:x:1001:1001:,,,:/home/media:/usr/bin/rssh

Remove /home/media and make it a symlink to the FTP dir (ln -s /var/ftp /home/media).

Finally, update the /etc/rssh.conf to allow scp, sftp, rsync and enable the media user:

grep -v \# /etc/rssh.conf 
logfacility = LOG_USER 
allowscp
allowsftp
allowrsync
umask = 022
user=media:022:100110:
