Use a Linux box as an iTunes music server
I have successfully set this up on my local lan and everything is is working fine. I would like to be able to acess the server from work and play my library. Has anyone figured out whether this is possible?
Use a Linux box as an iTunes music server (remotely)
I used the following quick hack using SSH.
First compile mDNSResponderPosix on your local machine. That is the machine on which you run iTunes. I used the Posix version since that compiled cleanly and I had no joy with the MacOSX version.
Next start the ProxyResponder
and then setup a ssh connection to the server with port 3689 forwarded to the server.
and if daapd is running on the MusicServer you should see your remote library in iTunes.
Note that running mDNSProxyResponder on the local machine seems to break other local Rendezvous browsing. I haven't figured out what exactly happens.

I would highly recommend using slimserver for remote broadcast. All you have to do is open up port 9000 on your home firewall. |
