CompileForDebian - MLDonkey http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net/CompileForDebian CompileForDebian From MLDonkey Contents 1 with CVS 1.1 Add a system user to run the binary 1.2 login as that user 1.3 compile the source 1.4 starting the core 1.5 configuring the core for remote access 1.6 and done! :-) 2 without CVS 2.1 enter to the remote machine 2.2 Add a system user to run mlnet 2.3 Dowlaod and Compile the source 2.4 mlnet daemon 2.5 start and stop the core to create default config 2.6 configuring the core for remote access 2.7 Done =) 3 with the Debian "unstable" package 3.1 Configure the system 3.2 Compile the source 3.3 Install the packages with CVS This procedure describes how I set up the core on my debian woody server. I hope it will be of use for you as well. Please correct mistakes! :) On the remote machine: Add a system user to run the binary as root: adduser mlnet login as that user su - mlnet on the same machine you ran adduser from or "ssh remote-host -lmlnet" from another computer compile the source 1 de 6 07/05/2008 01:32 p.m. CompileForDebian - MLDonkey http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net/CompileForDebian cvs "method": export CVS_RSH="ssh" cvs checkout: cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/sources/mldonkey co -P mldonkey also see HowToUseCvs and [savannah (http://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=mldonkey) ] configure will now automatically download ocaml and compile it of course you can also install the debian packages for ocaml. see what ./configure offers to you: ./configure --help (pay attention to the --enable-XXX and --disable-XXX parts) I chose support for bittorrent only, and no support for gui: ./configure --enable-batch --disable-multinet --disable-donkey --enable-bittorrent now we can compile: make starting the core I chose to move the created binary "mlnet" to this user's home directory: mv mlnet ../mlnet && cd now we start the core. ./mlnet > /dev/null 2>&1 & notice that it detaches itself from the console configuring the core for remote access Find out from which machines you want to be able to connect to the core and get their IPs. open a telnet session to the core: telnet localhost 4000 (remember we are still on the remote machine) for security reason I advise to assign a password to the default mldonkey user (which is "admin"): useradd admin <new pass> (this will assign a password to the default mldonkey user) 2 de 6 07/05/2008 01:32 p.m. CompileForDebian - MLDonkey http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net/CompileForDebian then I like to add the user "mlnet" and give it a password as well useradd mlnet <another password> (from here on I always use the "mlnet" user...) IIRC we need to authenticate now before we can go on: auth mlnet <pass> (where "<pass>" is the password chosen above) now we can add the IPs (we are almost done!): set allowed_ips "127.0.0.1 nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn-mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm" where "nnn..." and "mmm..." is a IP-range or a single IP. close the telnet session and logout from the machine: q to close the telnet session, logout for logging out (repeat until completely logged out from the remote computer) and done! :-) From now on we can access the core from any computer which IP we added to the list of "allowed_ips" to configure it further. If the machine is behind a firewall/router, remember to forward port 4001 (default GUI port) to the machine to be able to use a GUI, such as Sancho.
