I have recently downloaded DietPi and am attempting to get it to do a few tasks on my network as a headless server. The device is an Asus Tinker, which should be hopefully sufficient for the purpose. I was using a Windows machine with 9 hard disks but am looking to outsource some of the processes to this setup.
I am looking for (asterisks* indicate which are working properly)
Transmission *
Samba *
Samba with multiple mount points
Wireless access point for 2.4GHz devices
Print server for local clients
LMS
I am a greenhorn when it comes to Linux. It took me all morning to work out how to get Samba to work, and I'm now trying to figure out how to get more than one connected drive to show up. I am hoping simply changing start path to /mnt will do the trick.
So the story with the AP is that it shows as online and working in the configuration menu, but no client is able to see the network. Not sure how to begin troubleshooting this problem. I would ideally like it to see the local network as well so my phone and tablet can access the network shares when the main windows server is up, and the shares on Dietpi and the routers. Interestingly, I cannot disable the hotspot at all when the AP service is running. Selecting the option in the menu has no effect at all. The option also has one extra : but I looked up the source and it seems to have it there as well, so I don't think that's an error.
The web interfaces for LMS and CUPS do not even show up on the browser, I get ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED in Chrome and "Could not connect" in Firefox. The transmission web interface shows up fine though, so something works at least. As before, I have no idea where to even look.
For LMS I was using Daphile (an x86 version of LMS+Squeezelite) and using web as well as Squeezer to connect to the (also headless) server. That is an automated install and I was expecting something similar. Not sure how to begin setting it up on this due to lack of an interface. The results are the same regardless of whether Squeezelite is installed or not.
Would appreciate any help at all in getting these to work. I normally use a combination of Netgear routers' USB ports and a Windows machine to get all of these services but am looking for something simpler. Sorry for the long post and my lack of any knowledge at all - please be gentle
