HTPC Setup, Part 2 — Software
Here's the full setup with the custom UI I created for it. And finally some details about the software, as promised:
* Ubuntu, because I didn't want to build a Hackintosh and I couldn't stand Windows for more than a day.
* Netatalk for AFP support, which makes connecting to it from my Mac and using Time Machine a breeze.
* Air Video Server, so my iOS devices don't feel left out.
* Minecraft Server; more specifically the Bukkit mod with some plugins.
* µTorrent Server & JDownloader with their respective web UIs.
* All of the above are set up to run as services, so they start automatically and run in the background.
* Avahi to make file sharing, Time Machine, Air Video and VNC available on my Mac via Bonjour.
* And the aforementioned custom UI, which is simply a website running in Chrome's fullscreen mode, with a PHP backend running on Lighttpd, controlling the system with shell scripts. It's not entirely done yet though, so check back later for even more details.
* And finally, Boxee.
Next up: Doing something about those cables, and finding an IR receiver for the Apple Remote. Also getting a blog.
