Hi after going through some documentation on how to set up AFP so I can run a simple timemachine on my WNDR4700
I have found that the guide is very technical.
Can someone help me go through the steps.
I have SSH access.
I hope someone can help me set it up because LEDE is not worth much without being able to easily use it.
Hey @teglgaard
Have you setup your AFP Time Machine server yet? I just finished writing a user guide on the subject. Check-it-out and let us know if you have questions, freeback or constructive criticism.

Hi I have tried with several guides. I am able to mount the filesystems and create the users. When I then try to login it accepts the password but fails the connection. So it states connecting and then right afterwards connection failed. I have never gotten further. I made a vanilla install of LEDE to test it but no luck there.
I followed you while you were writing the guide because the device is useless without. Thanks for spending some time on it, I am sure you help a lot!
Have you tried connecting to the Backup share manually not via Time Machine in System Preferences?
Let me know if that works. If it does try the new samba.service code under the Zerconf Advertising section. I had the text records wrong in the first couple revisions.
Keep us posted. Good luck!
Now I have - Connecting through "Connect to Server..." leaves me with a message
"There are no shares available or you are not allowed to access them on the server. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem."
I have run through the guide today on a vanilla install so the zeroconf has been updated. I can confirm that my the Backups directory is set to Users and my created user is a part of that group.
With block info I can confirm the mounting point used in "/etc/afp.conf"
The AFP show up under "Shared" in finder too.
What posix permissions does your /etc/afp.conf file have? Should have the following:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 158 Apr 25 20:40 afp.conf
I might need to add step for coorecting from 600 to 644 depending on what you come back with. If the package issues the wrong permissions. I'll need to file a bug and add workaround like:
chmod 644 /etc/afp.conf
chmod 644 /etc/extmap.conf
Hi again! And boom it works! Posix permissions were 600 for both files and as soon as I changed it to 644 for both it started working.
Really great work! Do you need some help from me in versions and so on if you should file a bug?
Please post output of cat /etc/openwrt_release and the netaralk package infro from opkg list-installed.
Off course I can do that! Again, thanks for the help!!!

BTW I just switched from ext4 to HFSPlus non-journaled and it also works fine. I did it to be able to mount the drive later on directly.
i know this is a bit old topic but i am having exactly the same issue, and my permissions are correct. here my system:
DISTRIB_ID='OpenWrt' DISTRIB_RELEASE='SNAPSHOT' DISTRIB_REVISION='r6614-1ef0be3' DISTRIB_TARGET='ar71xx/generic' DISTRIB_ARCH='mips_24kc' DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION='OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r6614-1ef0be3' DISTRIB_TAINTS=''
and my netatalk version is netatalk - 3.1.11-2. I've followed Mrengles guide twice already on clean installs but still with no luck - i am unable to login to time machine. Is there anything that i am missing?
Thanks!
