Build Your Own Dedicated AllPeers Server

My friend and former colleague Ingo posts about his dedicated AllPeers server, cobbled together MacGyver-style from an old laptop. (He refers to me as his “crazy ex-colleague”, though I can’t imagine why. The voices in my head keep reassuring me that I’m perfectly sane.) His post is in German, so for those whose Teutonic language skills are lacking, the gist is that he loves AllPeers except for the fact that people can only get at your files when you’re online. So he dug up an old computer and set it up to run AllPeers 24/7. Not only is it functional, but with its sporty Weapons of Mass Distribution t-shirt, it’s one of the most fashionable servers in the neighborhood.

Note that if you want to run your regular AllPeers account on one machine and a dedicated server on another, you might want to take a look at our caching user extra.

  1. Hey Matt, thanks for the props and, naturally, I meant that as “crazy in a good way” ;-)

    btw, that caching user extra sounds very interesting. On the caching side, I enabled auto-download and was very pleasantly surprised that I could configure it per-source. Good job!

  2. Firefox 3 Beta 1 is just around the corner. Any word on FF3 compatibility?
