Webmin Module
Since 2000, Netatalk has distributed an official Webmin module for facilitating the administration of the AFP server via a user friendly Web GUI.
At the time of writing, maintained modules for the latest stable Netatalk v3 as well as the oldstable Netatalk v2 exist. Find the source code and release tarballs for both in the netatalk-webmin Git repository. They are confirmed compatible with Debian, Fedora, and Solaris.
This page is meant to give an overview of the feature set and usage notes of the module. Installation instructions can be found in the respective README file, and will not be repeated here.
v3 Module
Netatalk v3 got an entirely rewritten ini-style configuration file format, and therefore the Webmin module was almost entirely rewritten from scratch.
The module index is the hub for all of the module’s features. You can see the configured shared volumes, as well as start and stop the netatalk daemons from here.
Create or edit a shared volume
Create or edit volume presets
Can be used to streamline configuration of multiple volumes at once.
Create or edit home shares
Modify global server settings
Note: A subset of commonly used settings are exposed in the GUI.
v2 Module
The legacy v2 version of the Webmin module allows you to control the AFP server as well as the AppleTalk services.
The module index is the hub for all of the module’s features. You can see the configured shared volumes and virtual servers, as well as start and stop the Netatalk and AppleTalk daemons from here.
Create or edit shared volume
Complete support for all volume options are available when creating new or editing shared volumes. Equivalent to editing AppleVolumes.default.
Global server settings
The most commonly used virtual AppleShare server options are available through the GUI. Equivalent to editing afpd.conf.
Config editor
An interactive config file editor is also available for manual fine tuning of settings, including the config files not covered above.
Common Functions
These functions are identical between the v3 and v2 versions of the module.
Connected user management
Each connected user has its own forked afpd daemon process that is owned by that user. By killing the process, the connected user will be effectively kicked off the server.
Server capabilities
The response from asip-status gives you an overview of the addresses and capabilities of the AFP server.
