Just set up my pi as an AFP server using How to Setup a Raspberry Pi AFP Server – Pi My Life Up pretty straightforward. Quite please with myself. I wonder if I could have a pi with a big SSD on it. Seems you can set the pi up as a Time Machine. I didn’t manage to mount my home folder but can get /var/www/html to work which might be useful.
@johnjohnston Interesting! Might be a good add-on to our Pi-based music server.
@johnjohnston The bandwidth limits of Ethernet on the Raspberry Pi always made me look elsewhere for this kind of thing, but that has improved a bit with the Pi 4. Maybe worth another look. Thanks!
@the @fgtech I am thinking it will be handy for lightweight things, getting or adding a quick file from a headless PI.
@fgtech The RPi 4 does gigabit already and you have USB 3 for another potential Ethernet connection (via dongle).
@the What are you using for the music server? I’ve been thinking of setting one up with Navidrome on an odroid that’s gathering dust for a while now.
@rom @johnjohnston Especially handy for lightweight uses. Possible to consider some more serious loads with the Pi 4. Will have to figure out how to reattach the USB-C connector on mine first. Those things are super fragile!
@fgtech mine serves as Pi-Hole and file server 🙂
@sp I’m using mpd.

@the Wow, this looks really robust and light weight! Thanks you! Also, no worries on the ‘late’ reply. I’m very much on the slow train myself!
