Hello, I recently purchased a LIME2-SERVER based on the A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 from Olimex. You may find more information about it on <https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/Home-Server/LIME2-SERVER-NO-HDD/open-source-hardware>. Its purpose it to consume at most 5 watts and to have a huge uptime (it even has a battery).
Then I installed FreedomBox (a pure Debian blend) on it and have been fiddling with it since then. There are many applications that the user can control easily from a web interface, including MLDonkey that I of course installed. After that, I ssh'ed into the box, compiled and installed gtkg in headless mode and edited the ~/.gtk-gnutella/config_gnet file. I also added it to contrab with a line like @reboot sleep 5 && /usr/local/bin/gtk-gnutella --daemonize --log-stderr ~/tmp/stderr --log-stdout ~/tmp/gtkg.stdout It seems to be working pretty well in both leaf and ultrapeer modes except it sometimes exits without leaving a crash log. I hope gtkg.stderr and gtkg.stdout files will provide more information. I also discovered that FreedomBox (<https://freedombox.org/>) wasn't alone in the free software home server ecosystem. There's Freedombone (<https://freedombone.net/>) and YunoHost (<https://yunohost.org/>) too, all based on Debian GNU/Linux, all offering many applications that one can install and control from a web interface without having to deal with technical aspects or edit config files. My overall impression is that gtkg would really benefit from having such a web interface, so it can be easily installed on such home servers. Unfortunately I'm unable to help with the development, but I can create an account and provide access to my box if anyone is interested (talk is already installed so I can bother you :P All these systems can also be tested on a classic PC with say VirtualBox). I can also happily translate the interface in French & Turkish. What do you think about the idea? All the best. _______________________________________________ gtk-gnutella-devel mailing list gtk-gnutella-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gtk-gnutella-devel
