Setup MacOS AFP mounts with Apple timemachine for small


office sharings on Linux CentOS 8
All users can access via AFP the same file share folders like sambe "force user, force group" using linux group s-bit and file and dir
mask.

Also with cloud hub to store files local for faster access and not to have to store the data on all end devices.

Example shard directory for /vol1/shares/projects . /vol1/shares/customers

Example nexcloud sync path /vol1/cloud

Linux Users: cloud, employee1, employee2, employee3 ... all with same gid=100(users)

Prepare

yum install netatalk avahi-daemon

chown cloud.users /vol1/shares/cloud


chown employee1.users /vol1/shares/cloud

chmod -R g+rw /vol1/shares/*


find /vol1/shares/* -type d -exec chmod g+s {} \;

Set privilges to cloud user wen sync by client to use valid create mask

vi /etc/profile
