    Best kernel for OPi+ 2e server

    in Allwinner sunxi

    Posted

    Indeed, it's just vice-versa.

     

    Mainline is suited for servers, legacy is old but has extra mefia support (drivers) so it's suited for desktops that don't need newer kernel.

     

    Edit: my fault, I just understood it wrong.

     

    Every point is better in mainline. The only exceptiin may be wifi, but no idea about this specific model.

    CLUSTER

    in Off-topic

    Posted

    I would use clusters for server purpouses. I am purgeing all software uneeded as thunderbird and libre office from this installed Armbian on a Orange Pi Pc 2 H5. I am searching for libraries and software for clusterization and add Orange PI Zero nodes! Orange Pi Zero is a little, very little CPU solo support. So Orange Pi Pc2 is the head of the node and Zeros will be the added CPU. As configuration is the best for me, but I need the software. Naguissa are you interested in clusters? Thanks.

    Personally yea, but no project for.doing one.


    A cluster adds overhead, and if your power needs are not so much you could do a.simple web server using spare servers:

    One nginx to route requeats among web processing nodes.
    One or more web proceasing nodes (i.e., php-fpm)
    One or replicated db nodes.


    Still, for real load you will need a real server....

    Power off with HDD over active HUB

    I have ordered this (12V 2A + 5V 2A) one: http://allegro.pl/zasilacz-hdd-3-5-cd-rom-dvd-12v-2a-5v-2a-molex-i7028661180.html

    that I'm going to use with MOLEX to SATA power cable.

    Let's hope it will be OK.

    @copytco, I'll let you know how it works when I'll get it. I have few older 2,5" & 3,5" disks around for testing.

    This one is just like the one I have described above., identical. Works perfectly to me.

    Samba Setup

    in Beginners

    Posted

    From  the spanish link before, that I posted on mobile:

      

    [global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Samba Server %v
netbios name = <name_of_the_server_on_your_network>
dns proxy = no
max xmit = 65535
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=65535 SO_RCVBUF=65535
read raw = yes
write raw = yes
max connections = 65535
max open files = 65535

[UNIT_NAME]
comment = <you_share_description>
path = <path_to_share>
browsable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no
create mask = 666
directory mask = 777
force user = <your_user_here>
force group = users
printable = no
public = yes

     

     

    You have to change:

     

    netbios name = <name_of_the_server_on_your_network>
    [UNIT_NAME]
    comment = <you_share_description>
    path = <path_to_share>
    force user = <your_user_here>

     

     

    Then execute this to change samba password for desired user:

      

    smbpasswd -a <your_user_here>

     

     

    Then you'll have two options to login in your server: As guest or using user/pass defined in command above.

    Power off with HDD over active HUB

    in Allwinner sunxi

    Huh? Those Banana boards are all designed to create the impression that SATA HDDs can be powered by the board. At least that's how [mention=2979]Lion Wang[/mention] designed this board back then and he even repeated this 'design' this year with Banana Pi M2 Berry: Micro USB for DC-IN, SATA power connector on the PCB, knowing that this will cause trouble for an awful lot of his customers.
     
    Why shouldn't users not expect that this works? And why do we as Armbian users do here peer-to-peer support for boards that were designed poorly in a deliberate way? Do we as Armbian project have also a responsibility to save users from buying stuff that can't work properly since as soon as Armbian supports a board it could be considered a recommendation?

    You know it well, fon't play dumb...

    Because all Banana specs are crap.

    It takes me much more time to read the stuff than to you to write.  At the beginning I did not know if it is software or hardware related issue, therefore I posted the problem here and on LeMedia forum.  There I got no answer, but here you provided me a bunch of very important points.
     
    Ok, so generally the easiest way for me would be to buy an externally power supplier HDD case with SATA output that I could plug directly to the board.

    Ask [mention=2979]Lion Wang[/mention], he is responsible for these designs, repeating this insane shit show even in 2017 with BPi M2 Berry. Good luck!  



    I'll try him to not set anything on fire...


    Check tkaiser link to sinxi website about powering the board, there are few options. You can even use shitty microUSB, but with a correct power plug and without powering devices.

    Forget about board's SATA power connector. Don't use that.

    For HDD, use external power plug or a case with external power connector.

    Not Armbian related (Atom) but worth a look

    in Off-topic

    Posted

    I love small ultrabooks with some power but lots of ram (minimum 8Gb).

    I currently use an old Sony Vaio Duo 11, but by error I got only 4Gb version.

    What I'm looking for now is for a fanless 8Gb ram 12" ultrabook (with ssd, of course).

    There're only few interesting models nowadays...

    Create Wireless Web Server

    in Allwinner sunxi

    Posted

    yeah :unsure:
    i say these, but not useful for me !!!

    ????

    Wireless is explained at provided link

    WebServer is a common thing and link provided is most common one. I'd prefer nginx+php-fpm, but there're a lot of options.


    Maybe you could effort a little bit more and explain yourself.

    Wi-Fi: AP? STA?

    Web: static, any language? Any preferred programming language? PHP, node, others?

    Bonus: DB? sqlite, mongo, mysql, mariadb? Other? None?


    As said, all is common except Wi-Fi, and this later case has a provided link.

    Samba Problem

    in Orange Pi Zero

    Posted

    Unfortunately I have the Orange Pi not Banana Pi so hardware could be the problem here.  I have also seen it working on the original Raspberry Pi with no problems.   Thank you for the reply though :-)
     

    Still, did you check conf file?
