I wrote a post on install ITune Server on FC6 (http://www.elian.co.uk/2007/04/12/atomic-band-itune-server/)

Due to recent upgrade our internal server to FreeBSD 7, I am looking for a similar solution for ITune Server on FB7.  When FB7 first released, the default C compile is gcc v4.2 and mt-daap was “known-not-compatible” with gcc 4. However, recently I find the new version or new port of mt-daap is fixed the problem with gcc v4.

To install mt-daap, compare with installing it on FC, it is so easy!
1. Make sure your ports are up-to-date. My prefer tool for manaing FreeBSD ports is portsnap, so simply run “portsnap fetch update”
2.Go to mt-daap folder(/usr/ports/audio/mt-daapd)
3. make install clean
4. OK, you got iTune server now!
5. TO configure it up, go to /usr/local/etc/.  Copy mt-daapd.conf.sample to mt-daapd.conf and change admin_pw and mp3_dir. Everything is done

If you got troubles to create playlist, try to use this only tool http://migrantcoder.com/daapd/ or for advanced users, read wiki on its offical website http://wiki.fireflymediaserver.org/Smart_playlists

When using $TERM=xterm, arrow-keys wont work. the work around is re-assign arrow-keys using following command:

In vimrc:

set t_ku= (now type Ctrl-V and press cursor up)
set t_kd= (now type Ctrl-V and press cursor down)
set t_kr= (now type Ctrl-V and press cursor right)
set t_kr= (now type Ctrl-V and press cursor left)

First of all, you need to have full FreeBSD source tree to build the kernel. If you dont, download them now.

* COPY /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC /root/sys/TAO and ln -s /root/sys/TAO /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/TAO

* vi /root/sys/TAO, comment all the device you dont need

* Change scheduler to ULE if you are using FreeBSD 7 (experimental), as mention by Kris, new ULE scheduler has better performance than tranditional 4BSD
http://www.elian.co.uk/2007/12/22/does-freebsd-7-solve-its-mysql-problem/

* Change /etc/make.conf. As V7 support core2 CPUTYPE, so

CPUTYPE?=core2
CFLAGS=-O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe
For pre 7 users, see
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags#Intel_Core_2_Duo.2FQuad_.2F_Xeon_51xx.2F53xx

*Go to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf directory, and run config TAO to create a compile directory. It is very helpful if you want to keep serveral version of kernel

* Go to ../compile/Tao and run make cleandepend && make depend

* and “make”, it will take very long time and depending on the speed of your machine and your configure file

* make install and reboot your machine. If the new kernel cannot be load correctly or some devices do not function, you can use load kernel.old or kernel.GENERIC to go back to old kernel or generic kernel

N.B. here is my kernel configure file
http://www.elian.co.uk/2007/12/23/taos-kernel/

* After installing new kernel, you have to rebuild your world, otherwise, many program cannot run correctly(To me, sockstat -cl cannot should TCP ports listening)
cd /usr/src
make buildworld (took about two hours)
reboot into single user mode
mergemaster -p
make installworld
mergemaster
reboot

* Minimal installation(very simply, google it or follow the manual book on FreeBSD website). enable softupdate for non-root slice

* Install man package

* Install cvsup by pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui (run rehash or re-login)

* Install vim “pkg_add -r vim-lite”

* Using vim instead of vi(may have security issue, careful!). ln -s /usr/local/bin/vim /bin/vi

* Copy /usr/local/share/vim71/vimrc_example.vim to /usr/local/share/vim71/vimrc (gramma hightlight)

* I prefer to use stable-supfile, so copy it to /root and change host address

* Copy /var/share/examples/cvsup/refuse to /var/db/sup. Dont download source code other language, english only.

* Update source code tree now, by cvsup stable-supfile.

* It will take some time, so sit back and have a cup of coffe ^_^

* I personally like to use portsnap to update port tree, so “portsnap fetch extract”

* Copy and edit /etc/make.conf. Change CFLAG and disable GUI by
NO_X= true
NO_GUI= true
WITHOUT_X11= yes
WITHOUT_XPM= yes

* Edit /etc/rc.conf

* To compile kernel, you can follow my another post on
http://www.elian.co.uk/2007/12/23/compile-freebsd-kernel/

* Email system:
I prefer postfix, and you can find many webpage in google on how to replace sendmail with postfix. and it is easy to do so

cd /usr/src/mail/postfix
make install
select SASL2 and TLS, if you need MySQL support, simply add MySQL
add sendmail_enable=”NONE” to /etc/rc.conf
cp /etc/default/periodic.conf /etc/periodic.conf and change following directive (Disable sendmail dail)

daily_clean_hoststat_enable="NO"
daily_status_mail_rejects_enable="NO"
daily_status_include_submit_mailq="NO"
daily_submit_queuerun="NO"

* Config postfix by editing /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf

* Install other services

A very famous article by Jeremy pointed out the reason mysql database had lower performance on BSD system which is my most preferred OS (http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/000203.html). Although, there is a work-around by using LinuxThread (http://pauillac.inria.fr/~xleroy/linuxthreads/), it cannot satisfy all the pure BSDers.

Since the annoucement of V7, many people are exciting for its new features. Especially, the improvement of scheduler, both 4BSD and ULE. But the question is does V7 really solve the MySQL problem? what is the performance of MySQL on FreeBSD 7. I read Kris’ “7.0 Preview” today, it really makes believe so.

FreeBSD team announced the release date of another major upgrade for version 7 of FreeBSD OS.
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.0R/schedule.html

As everyone knows, V7 will have a massive change comparing V6, such as ZFS etc. I am really looking forward to seeing it.

Right guys, after lonnnng time waiting, it is the time now. Leopard will officially be released on 26th. But it leaks out AGAIN(you know why “AGAIN”). From previous experience, people will keep arguing which build number is GM(golden master) until someone who buys a copy from shop confirms. Im personally not bothered the build number, as long as it works.

OK, so far from what I learned, 9A581 looks like GM version.

Im a experienced Linux user, at least I think so. I gained much experience on configuring, fine-tuning Fedora servers from my work which required me to use several Linux servers to host a massive MySQL database and a veeery busy email system. With the increasing of demand, we decided to move from 1and1 (one of the biggest web hosting in Europe) to a self-managed datacenter in Manchester. We have more freedom on what machine and which OS to be used.

From previous experience, Linux’s fat,buggy kernel, low IO, poor FS do annoy me a lot. Look around the Internet, FreeBSD seems be an very good alternative for web server. Actually, I think about it before and never brave enough to use it in a production environment. But this time, I will put my fat ass in front of it ^_^. I totally believe it will work better under a stressed condition than Linux
