This book is a quick super fast course in using the command line. It is intended to be done rapidly in about a day or two, and not meant to teach you advanced shell usage.

Create Users, share drives and folders across the network

Having lots of lovely space on your new server is no good if nothing other than the server itself can see it! So, let's share some drives and folders using Samba so they can be seen by other computers and devices on your network.

Installing Samba

If you've not been following this guide from the start and/or do not have Samba installed then you can install samba in one of two ways: via the gnome desktop or via the Command Line.

Step 1: define the custom region in your theme's .info file

The .info file for your Drupal 7 theme will be located within the root of the theme's main folder. e.g. bootstap subtheme's .info theme file is located at:/themes/bootstrap_subtheme/bootstrap_subtheme.info

Open up your theme's .info file and you should see some regions like this:

Barracuda is the main install script and should be run on a totally fresh debian install for best results. You can see the full requirements and features here. It sets up an Aegir master instance that then lets you install further instances of Aegir underneath it using the Octopus script. It doesn’t install any drupal platforms by default and from what I can tell you shouldn’t install any Drupal platforms on it neither if you want to make life easier for yourself further down the road.
