Overview

An ansible playbook to setup a TimeMachine on Debian (Jessie).

Since there is currently not a package for netatalk 3 available for Jessie this playbook provides an easy way to build and install it.

Intented to use with raspberry pi and raspbian / jessie.

Prequisites

• ansible 2.0 or higher
• osx

Setup Raspbery Pi

1. Download image from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/. I've used raspbian jessy lite
2. Copy it to SD card:

diskutil list
sudo diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2
sudo dd if=~/Downloads/2016-03-18-raspbian-jessie-lite.img of=/dev/disk2 bs=1m

3. Boot raspberry pi, ssh to it, setup ssh key for user "pi", run raspi-config and resize root partition, reboot

Prepare USB disk

1. Attach usb disk to mac and run diskutil to determine device

 
 diskutil list

2. Format usb disk using HFS+ non-journaled. I created two partitions:

diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk2 2 MBR HFS+ backups 650G HFS+ media 100G

3. Determine volume UUID:

diskutil info disk2s1|grep "Volume UUID"

4. unmount disk

diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2


Prepare ansible config
----------------------

1. Create host_vars/raspberry_pi_host_name_or_ip file, copying from example.com. 
2. Fill parameters in this file, see comments in file for instruction
