#!/linuxSucks/Install a media server in Debian based systems

Jul 05, 2020

Setup for a headless server for debian-based systems. This script was tested in a full working debian buster server.

Firts you need to install a base system of Debian 10 in this case i used this iso for non-free firmware, i’m using a mimi pc and has a built in wifi. Not the best speed but works fine. Other wise you can use this iso. After the install, make sure that the ssh server is running and install git.

That’s it you’re ready to go!

    1. Transmission
    2. Trnasmission-remote-cli
