Ubuntu 14/16 Debian 8 Seedbox Guide and Script

[Arakasi]

Thanks for the reply.

I just tried to install with the following user name gnhqZO29P1Lg and the script put up a load of errors has it went about installing.

Not finding directory and user errors.

Any ideas please.

You have broken the unix default naming conventions. Easiest way around this as a one off is to create the user manually before running the script in this case:

adduser --gecos "" --force-badname gnhqZO29P1Lg

the run the script again

If you want to remove the restrictions more permanently you will need to edit NAME_REGEX in the file /etc/adduser.conf

You will need to look up online how best to do this

I ran the script on my vps and rutorrent works perfectly fine. When I tried to host a website using nginx, it doesn't load. I could see that there are some changes in the default file. Should I change values here? Any idea?

You should not need to change anything. What message do you get when you try to load the page?

It may be something as simple as permissions.

Yeah you are right, I will check. Thank you!

The config I use is a default position which will work for most people, and the speeds you are getting look pretty good, but yes you may be able to improve on them if you optimise your settings.

Sure that your php files are executable, and that the permissions are set right?

You can limit bandwidth in rtorrent, check out the config guide for more detail - Performance Tuning · rakshasa/rtorrent Wiki · GitHub

hi,
new install and again, very nice script.

one thing i recently saw, a difference between previous versions and this one:

rtorrent/download

instead

rtorrent/donwloads

:)

in .rtorrent.rc file

directory.default.set = (cat,(cfg.basedir),"download")

Yes a minor change. I have set up a change log in the wiki now, so in the future changes like this should be logged there.

Actually this is when the change was made, using the new template I adjusted my script to match, and should have noted that in the change log. I will update the change log to include.

Thanks

Made some changes to the step by step guide:
1. Removed Ubuntu 12 and Debian 7. You can still use the script for these older OS versions but the step by step guide now only supports Ubuntu 14, 16, and Debian 8.

2. Removed optional apache2 config from step by step guide.

Reasons for removing support for these items in the step by step guide is firstly to simplify the guide a little making it easier to follow, and also as I am no longer willing to test with older OS versions and apache2, I can't provide support for any problems that might arise.
