Ubuntu 18.04 as Apple File Server

charles 23 February 2019

My recent upgrade to 18.04 Bionic Beaver went fairly smoothly. The final glitch was getting the Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) services running again. I've abandoned the use of Ubuntu for Time Machine backups, opting for a local hard drive solution instead. This just leaves file services utilizing afpd, netatalk, and avahi. My difficulty appeared to be related to the change from netatalk version 2 to 3, but not all my packages were updated in the process.
