Linux Package Installation

We have 2 VMs for the sake of demonstration: nas and backup, with the users defined as follows:

• user@nas
• buser@backup

Both systems are Ubuntu 24.04 server version.

After VM creation and Ubuntu installation, update packages to the latest on both:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Then install at least net-tools to be able to use ifconfig:

sudo apt install net-tools

Install packages on server:

- zfsutils-linux
	- ZFS Linux implementation
- pv 
	- Simple tool that allows to (v)iew information about a (p) pipe. It's a pipe viewer :) 
- parallel
	- tool that parallelizes the execution of something else. 
	- It is used to compute `md5sum`s of files in parallel.
- avahi-daemon 
	- useful to be able to reach the machine as `nas.local`
- samba
	- You all need to be able to access to your ZFS marvels from a PC, don't you? 

sudo apt install zfsutils-linux pv parallel samba

Install packages on backup system:

- zfsutils-linux
- avahi-daemon 
	- useful to be able to reach the machine as `backup.local`
- samba

sudo apt install zfsutils-linux samba

On to the local server user configuration.
