First we need to add the repository to the sources.list. Run the following commands as root.

apt-key adv –keyserver keys.gnupg.net –recv-keys 6BF18B15
CODENAME=$(lsb_release -cs | sed -n ‘/lucid\|precise\|quantal\|raring\|saucy\|trusty\|squeeze\|wheezy\|jessie\|sid/p’)
echo “” >> /etc/apt/sources.list
echo “#### BitTorrent Sync – see: http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/18974-debian-and-ubuntu-server-packages-for-bittorrent-sync-121-1/” >> /etc/apt/sources.list
echo “## Run this command: apt-key adv –keyserver keys.gnupg.net –recv-keys 6BF18B15” >> /etc/apt/sources.list
echo “deb http://debian.yeasoft.net/btsync ${CODENAME:-sid} main” >> /etc/apt/sources.list
echo “deb-src http://debian.yeasoft.net/btsync ${CODENAME:-sid} main” >> /etc/apt/sources.list
unset CODENAME
apt-get update
apt-get -y install btsync

This will fetch the GPG keys for the custom repository, it will then amend your sources list by the new repositories (you can disable the src repository if you want) and finally it installs the server version of BitTorrent Sync as provided by tuxpoldo.

You will then be asked if you want to define a default BitTorrent Sync instance or not. The difference is that with the default instance you run BitTorrent Sync only lets you run BitTorrent Sync as root or btsync user. However if you have for example an existing Samba installation or something else that you want to use to sync data, you might not want to run it as default instance.

If you choose to install as default instance then just accept all the default options except for UPNP. I think that should be enabled in either case.

 

If you choose not to run a default instance then you need to manually create the user config file. There are samples in the /etc/btsync/sample folder but I’d like to provide an own below. Run as root (and maybe alter the file name):

SSH into the server as root
or If using a user account then prepend sudo to each of these commands.

Remove Samba if needed

apt-get purge samba -y

Update Server

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y

Install Dependencies

apt-get install -y perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions python nano php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mcrypt

Download Webmin if needed

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.660_all.deb -O webmin_1.660_all.deb

Install Webmin

dpkg -i webmin_1.660_all.deb

MySql/PHP Install

apt-get install mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql -y

Apache2 enable Mod-Rewrite

a2enmod rewrite

Then restart apache2

service apache2 restart

PHPMyadmin installation if needed.

apt-get install phpmyadmin

Create the WordPress Database and User

mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
CREATE USER wordpressuser@localhost;
SET PASSWORD FOR wordpressuser@localhost= PASSWORD(“password”);
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO wordpressuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY ‘password’;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

Tar Commands

untar command = tar -xvzf filename.tar or filename.tar.gz (if gzipped)

tar command = tar -ztvf /folder filename.tar or filename.tar.gz (if you want to gzip the file)

• To add a user account, use the following syntax, and follow the prompts to give the account a password and identifiable characteristics such as a full name, phone number, etc.

  sudo adduser username
  
  

  vsftpd – FTP Server Installation

  sudo apt-get install vsftpd
  
  I use nano to edit my text files. Use whatever you would like.
  
  nano /etc/vsftpd.conf
  (read through the many options and uncomment or comment out what you would like to use)

  I added this to the bottom of my conf file for security.
  ssl_enable=Yes
  
  The ftpusers file is a list of users not allowed to use ftp. You can edit that file here.
  nano /etc/ftpusers
  
  Once you are finished use this command to restart vsftpd daemon.
  restart vsftpd
  
  By the way, I log in as root so no sudo command needed.  If you are not logged in as root, then prepend each command above with sudo.
  
  Here is a link to the official vsftpd install and setup guide on ubuntu.com
