Printers

Brother DCP-1617NW

Install the necessary packages and other dependencies:

sudo pacman -S --needed cups manjaro-printer gtk2 sane lib32-glibc system-config-printer

Then, install the Brother DCP-1617NW drivers:

sudo pamac install brscan4 brother-dcp1610w brother-lpr-drivers-common

Add the printer to the system:

sudo brsaneconfig4 -a name=Brother model="DCP-1617NW" ip=192.168.100.150

Plex Media Server

Use the following command to install Plex Media Server:

yay -S --needed plexmediaserver

Add users to Plex group

sudo usermod -aG plex admin sudo usermod -aG plex matias sudo usermod -aG plex coder

Enable and start the service

sudo systemctl enable ---now plexmediaserver.service

Fix ulimit and set security settings

sudo gedit /etc/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service.d/restrict.conf
[Service] ReadOnlyPaths=/ ReadWritePaths=/var/lib/plex /tmp MemoryMax=4G

Fix max amount of libraries for non-root users

sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.d/40-max-user-watches.conf
fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288

FTP Server

Create a new FTP user account

sudo useradd -m ftpuser sudo passwd ftpuser

Deleting ftp user account sudo userdel ftpuser sudo userdel -r ftpuser

Hide ftpuser from login screen sudo gedit /var/lib/AccountsService/users/ftpuser [User] Languages=en_US.UTF-8; Session= Icon=/home/ftpuser/.face SystemAccount=true

Update servers configuration

First, backup the original configuration file:

sudo mv /etc/vsftpd.conf /etc/vsftpd.conf.bak

Then, create a new configuration file and edit it:

sudo touch /etc/vsftpd.conf sudo vim /etc/vsftpd.conf
# Example config file /etc/vsftpd.conf # # The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid. This sample file # loosens things up a bit, to make the ftp daemon more usable. # Please see vsftpd.conf.5 for all compiled in defaults. # # READ THIS: This example file is NOT an exhaustive list of vsftpd options. # Please read the vsftpd.conf.5 manual page to get a full idea of vsftpd's # capabilities. # # Allow anonymous FTP? (Beware - allowed by default if you comment this out). anonymous_enable=NO # # Uncomment this to allow local users to log in. local_enable=YES # # Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command. write_enable=YES # # Default umask for local users is 077. You may wish to change this to 022, # if your users expect that (022 is used by most other ftpd's) #local_umask=022 # # Uncomment this to allow the anonymous FTP user to upload files. This only # has an effect if the above global write enable is activated. Also, you will # obviously need to create a directory writable by the FTP user. #anon_upload_enable=YES # # Uncomment this if you want the anonymous FTP user to be able to create # new directories. #anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES # # Activate directory messages - messages given to remote users when they # go into a certain directory. dirmessage_enable=YES # # Activate logging of uploads/downloads. xferlog_enable=YES # # Make sure PORT transfer connections originate from port 20 (ftp-data). connect_from_port_20=YES # # If you want, you can arrange for uploaded anonymous files to be owned by # a different user. Note! Using "root" for uploaded files is not # recommended! #chown_uploads=YES #chown_username=whoever # # You may override where the log file goes if you like. The default is shown # below. #xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log # # If you want, you can have your log file in standard ftpd xferlog format. # Note that the default log file location is /var/log/xferlog in this case. #xferlog_std_format=YES # # You may change the default value for timing out an idle session. #idle_session_timeout=600 # # You may change the default value for timing out a data connection. #data_connection_timeout=120 # # It is recommended that you define on your system a unique user which the # ftp server can use as a totally isolated and unprivileged user. #nopriv_user=ftpsecure # # Enable this and the server will recognise asynchronous ABOR requests. Not # recommended for security (the code is non-trivial). Not enabling it, # however, may confuse older FTP clients. #async_abor_enable=YES # # By default the server will pretend to allow ASCII mode but in fact ignore # the request. Turn on the below options to have the server actually do ASCII # mangling on files when in ASCII mode. # Beware that on some FTP servers, ASCII support allows a denial of service # attack (DoS) via the command "SIZE /big/file" in ASCII mode. vsftpd # predicted this attack and has always been safe, reporting the size of the # raw file. # ASCII mangling is a horrible feature of the protocol. ascii_upload_enable=YES ascii_download_enable=YES # # You may fully customise the login banner string: #ftpd_banner=Welcome to blah FTP service. # # You may specify a file of disallowed anonymous e-mail addresses. Apparently # useful for combatting certain DoS attacks. #deny_email_enable=YES # (default follows) #banned_email_file=/etc/vsftpd.banned_emails # # You may specify an explicit list of local users to chroot() to their home # directory. If chroot_local_user is YES, then this list becomes a list of # users to NOT chroot(). # (Warning! chroot'ing can be very dangerous. If using chroot, make sure that # the user does not have write access to the top level directory within the # chroot) chroot_local_user=NO chroot_list_enable=YES # (default follows) chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list # # You may activate the "-R" option to the builtin ls. This is disabled by # default to avoid remote users being able to cause excessive I/O on large # sites. However, some broken FTP clients such as "ncftp" and "mirror" assume # the presence of the "-R" option, so there is a strong case for enabling it. ls_recurse_enable=YES # # When "listen" directive is enabled, vsftpd runs in standalone mode and # listens on IPv4 sockets. This directive cannot be used in conjunction # with the listen_ipv6 directive. listen=YES # # This directive enables listening on IPv6 sockets. To listen on IPv4 and IPv6 # sockets, you must run two copies of vsftpd with two configuration files. # Make sure, that one of the listen options is commented !! #listen_ipv6=YES # Set own PAM service name to detect authentication settings specified # for vsftpd by the system package. pam_service_name=vsftpd # add to the end : specify chroot directory # if not specified, users' home directory equals FTP home directory #local_root=/media/Vault # turn off seccomp filter if cannot login normally seccomp_sandbox=NO allow_writeable_chroot=YES guest_enable=YES # Imports different user profiles (/etc/user_conf/{coder,admin,matias,ftpuser}) with different directories user_config_dir=/etc/user_conf
