Network-Attached Storage With FreeNAS. Version 1.0 Author: Falko Timme <ft [at] falkotimme [dot] com> Last edited 02/11/2007 This tutorial shows how you can set up a network-attached storage server with FreeNAS.
FreeNAS is based on the FreeBSD operating system and supports CIFS (samba), FTP, NFS, RSYNC, SSH, local user authentication, and software RAID (0, 1, 5). It comes with a powerful web interface and uses very little space on the hard drive - about 32MB. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you! 1 Preliminary Note In this article I will set up a NAS system with three 30GB hard disks, where the first one is split up in a small partition for the FreeNAS system itself and a large data partition. 2 Installing FreeNAS Download the latest FreeNAS iso image (0.68 at the time of this writing) from and burn it onto a CD. The following screen will come up. We want to have two partitions on our first hard drive (one for FreeNAS, one for data storage), so we select 2: Enter the name of your CD-ROM drive.
Modifications. How to Access Synology Services Remotely via the Internet. From SynologyWiki The Synology server has internet services (such as Web hosting, PhotoStation 2 + video) which are designed for internet use. These services by default are not publicly viewable (also, some of these services must be enabled before use), these services can be accessed over the Internet by port forwarding the corrosponding port from the WAN (the Internet) to the LAN IP address of the Cube Station. Ports for example, are specific access “doors” which various computers will respond too. Much akin to forwarding a phone call from New York, NY to Seattle, WA; port forwarding forwards a call from the Internet, to the local network, and into the Cube Station, where the Cube Station (or Synology Product) will pick up the call and respond. Given today's plethora of routers, there is no standardized guide or method on how to instruct new users on how to forward ports, most common locations on where to find the port forwarding settings on routers is are What is my external IP address?

I just installed a NAS at home.
It's going to be my primary Data Silo so naturally I need to store my (backup-/published-) git repos there. The Synology thing I bought comes with Linux/Busybox. Hacking around is surprisingly easy, they actually encourage you to do it. Of course I could have gone the easy way of nfs-mounting my shares and then have used local paths to update the repos. But I wanted to be able to do this from the road using ssh. Here is what I needed to do to install git on the Box: Open ssh. Open the Web interface of the Box. 2. 3.Set up your User accounts Use ssh to log in as "root" on the box.
