I just set up a standalone fossil at home.
I followed the info in the wiki,
and glanced at nemo's config files on the web,
and only had to fiddle a few things:
- for the `bootstrapping' key entered in factotum
I replaced rsc by `{cat '#c/user'}
# add a key so mount and fossil can authenticate each other
# remove this key once factotum is initialized with other keys
factotum -g 'proto=p9sk1 user='^`{cat '#c/user'}^\
' dom=localhost !password=localhost'
- I changed 'ipconfig loopback ...' to just 'ipconfig' (use DHCP).
I used some rc scripting to find `our' ip address needed
to set the venti variable (hmmm... can I just use $sysname ?)
Even nicer would be to add a check to see if ipconfig fails,
and if so, do the 'ipconfig loopback ...'
ipconfig
ifs='
' for (h in `{cat /net/ipselftab}) {
ifs=' ' j=`{echo $h} if (~ $j(3) 6u) ipself=$j(1)
}
...
venti=tcp!^$ipself^!17034
- as suggested by the wiki, to make sure the disk layout
is known I used fdisk and prep lines like in /rc/bin/termrc
(so I also added /386/bin/test, /386/bin/prep and /386/bin/disk/fdisk
to the bootdir section of the copy I made of /sys/src/9/pc/pcfl )
One thing I noted: my /dev/ now lists each disk twice,
as both the boot script and my /rc/bin/termrc bind -a '#S' /dev
Another thing: the nightly automatic 'snap -a' gave me console message:
disk: io=10000 at -952.927ms
where the negative time surprised me. The machine takes time via ntp.
