Mint as home server [solved]

Post by mn1247 » Sun Mar 22, 2015 11:59 am

I have a «bare-bones» PC running Linux Mint and I’m trying to set this up as a file and media server for my home. In addition to the system drive, I have a second 1TB harddrive installed (ext4, single partition) that I want to use for shared media/files.

How do I set this up so that other LAN devices (macintosh computers and a smart TV) can access it? I’d like it to be available on the LAN, but blocked from being accessed over the internet. I’ve given the PC a static LAN IP.

Any advice? I’m totally new to Linux (but good with OSX and Windows).

I published a podcast on a simple Samba server you might find useful. This setup has worked for me for years.

I don’t know if Samba is the best vehicle for a media server. Streaming content and large file transfers isn’t something it does very well since it’s traditionally used as a File and Print server. You can try it of course and decide for yourself. I can’t recommend a Media server but I would suspect others will in this topic.

Side note on your network components:

Don’t know about the smart TV but something close to magic happens in an all Linux or a Linux / OSX network since you can now free yourself of all the Microsoft Windows components of Samba should you decide to use it..

From the mac you should be able to connect to the Mint system right now: Finder > Go > Connect to Server:

Where «hostname» is the the actual host name of your Mint system — and don’t forget the «.local» part at the end. To find that name just run the following command in Mint:

You can will a little more effort ( creating one text file ) set this up in such a way that the Mint machine will automatically show up under «Shared» in Finder:
Linux Only ( with OSX ) Samba Browsing: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p . 10#p960482

Linux and OSX can use mDNS ( Bonjour in OSX and Avahi in Linux ) so you don’t need to concern yourself with netbios names, master browsers, nmbd services, name resolve orders and all the other burdens of Windows.

Thanks so much for all the info. As a noob, I have much to digest

You never stated which Mint version you are using.

If you use Mint Cinnamon you can easily create a samba share through Nemo — the file manager. For example to share your Public Folder:

Open Nemo
Right click your Public folder
Select «Sharing Options»
Check all the boxes

You just created a guest accessible samba share of your Public folder.

Note : If you followed kwisher’s instruction you will notice that the last box ( guest access ) is grayed out. His HowTo actually disables guest access 3 different ways so if you want this to work you will have to undo all that. There’s a few other things from his smb.conf that are missing so you might consider just restoring the backup of the original smb.conf that he has you make.

Besides the Guest access being disabled, which if you bothered to listen to my How-to is the way I want it to behave in my setup, everything works as is with Windows, Linux and Mac.

It doesn’t matter how you want it to «behave in my setup».

There’s a difference between an «I choose to create shares that are not guest accessible» ( There’s nothing wrong with that ) and what you did which was a «I’m going to make sure that you never will either»

You’ve limited what a given user can accomplish under different conditions and also disabled the full functioning of a whole other component of a file manager.

Everything you want to accomplish can be accomplished with minor changes to the default smb.conf so that both can be used.

In any event I was simply stating a fact. If I were to use your smb.conf and went into Nautilus or Nemo and tried to share a folder I would get this:

The «Guest access» option is disabled. The OP may not be aware of the consequences of using your smb.conf.

The main one being that if someone with even minor skills (or scripts) parks on the street and spends two minutes hacking kwisher’s wireless, he still won’t be able to raid the media files, I assume. But what are the other (if any) consequences?

BtW, since this thread has been marked [SOLVED] by the OP:

Is it as easy to set up sharing among computers connected to the same wireless router when using Xfce as the DE?

What about if the client computer is an Android 2.7 smartphone, lol? I know of the simpleHTTPserver command (or whatever its called; I just hit the up-arrow in the terminal until it appears, then press Enter ) that a person can run after opening a terminal in a specific directory in order to be able to use a web browser on the phone to download items (from that directory). But not how to access multiple files or how to use either the Motorola Music+ music player (it can play «over the Internet» because it does those streaming «radio» things) for audio or MX Player to play video. And, since there is pretty much zero RAM available for installing new files on the phone, I’d really like to.

This one might be a toughie: Mom doesn’t have cable service, but I pay for Internet at her house and split a Netflix account with her. What if I want to be able to access the data from my computer (which is at my house) from my phone at her house (or from another computer, at least?).

Last one (and, possibly, the toughest of all): If I only have my phone when I’m at Mom’s, but her 74-year old eyes don’t want to view a little 3.7″ screen, but I have my charging cable, can I connect the phone to her 32″ Vizio «smart television» (I think it’s a model M320 or M something 32 something) so that she can play a video file or listen to an audio file via her television? If it helps at all, between MX Player, MediaSer, and MediaSee(?), one or the other one allowed me to play a video file on her television last Summer via a direct connection (phone’s whatchamacallit port to television’s USB port). So the television understands the video format.

Mint 18 Xfce 4.12.

A «file server» and a «media server» are two different things.

Samba is one option for the «file server». My recommendation is to leave the default smb.conf in place and not to cripple it. With the default if you want to go to one extreme and create only private shares that require user names and passwords to access you can do that. And with that same default if you want to go to the other extreme and only create public read only shares that anyone can access you can do that as well.

As for the «media server» I still don’t think samba is the best vehicle for this type of thing. I was hoping someone would have suggested the usual suspects discussing the pros and cons and ease of setup for both or suggest something different:
