Home Server

Vagrant

vagrant up

1. After complete, run PuTTYgen, Conversions > Import Key and browse to .vagrant/machines/server/virtualbox/private_key
2. Then Save private key to the same folder as private_key.ppk
3. In PuTTY settings for vagrant-server, use this file in Connection > SSH > Auth > Private key file for authentication

Physical Server

1. Install from server image (include OpenSSH server). Create desired logon user for non-privileged use later.
2. To get salt running, follow the instructions here (https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/tutorials/quickstart.html):

   curl -L https://bootstrap.saltstack.com -o bootstrap_salt.sh
   chmod 755 bootstrap_salt.sh
   sudo sh bootstrap_salt.sh
   

3. Change file_client: local in /etc/salt/minion
4. Now copy over the salt scripts (the following was using a USB drive):

   sudo fdisk -l #get list of devices to find USB with salt code
   sudo mkdir /media/external
   sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/external
   sudo mkdir /srv/salt
   sudo cp -r /media/external/salstack/salt /srv
   shutdown -r now #unplug USB drive to ensure /dev/sdb is the storage drive
   sudo salt-call state.highstate
   

Manual setup after salt provisioning

Google Cloud Print

1. Change to cloud-print-connector user sudo -u cloud-print-connector bash
2. cd /opt/cloud-print-connector
3. export GOPATH=/usr/build/go && /usr/build/go/bin/gcp-connector-util init and follow instructions to complete cloud print setup

CrashPlan

CrashPlan for Home is being phased out. Duplicati+Minio will replace CrashPlan for our needs.

• https://support.code42.com/CrashPlan/4/Configuring/Using_CrashPlan_On_A_Headless_Computer

1. Use a privileged user to install since I wasn't able to get CrashPlan running under the crashplan user
2. cd /home/crashplan/download/crashplan-install/
3. Run ./install.sh with /usr/local as installation directory and /store/crashplan as store
4. When asked, use root user
5. Accept the remaining defaults (works with ubuntu 16.04)
6. Now setup remote admin
