Wget -H -r -level=5 -restrict-file-names=windows -convert-links -e robots=off -no-check-certificate Update permissions if needed: sudo chown -R username:root /home/username/dataĭownload some data (this is a good dump of isos) cd /home/username/data Generate smbpasswd (this will allow windows hosts to connect over smb, granted we are passing them in with the username account (smile)) sudo smbpasswd -a username Make Cifs share: sudo vi /etc/samba/smb.conf Update Exports for NFS (I'm setting this based on subnet, you can change as needed) sudo echo "/home/username/data 192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_root_squash)" > /etc/exports Install the tools you need: sudo apt install vim screen htop sysstat curl wget Update Fstab sudo echo "/dev/sdc1 /home/username/data ext4 defaults 0 2" > /etc/fstab Make a mount path: mkdir /home/username/data

Make the filesystem sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdc1 Note: you should replace username with your user. Install Ubuntu Cloud VM (add an extra disk 1TB or larger.) Posting this so I can find it in the future.
