Distributed Replicated Storage Across Four Storage Nodes With GlusterFS On Fedora 12
This tutorial shows how to combine four single storage servers (running Fedora 12) to a distributed replicated storage with GlusterFS. Nodes 1 and 2 (replication1) as well as 3 and 4 (replication2) will mirror each other, and replication1 and replication2 will be combined to one larger storage server (distribution). Basically, this is RAID10 over network.
If you lose one server from replication1 and one from replication2,
the distributed volume continues to work. The client system (Fedora 12
as well) will be able to access the storage as if it was a local
filesystem. GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to
several peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over
Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network
file system. Storage bricks can be made of any commodity hardware such
as x86_64 servers with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband HBA.

Virtual Hosting With vsftpd And MySQL On Debian Lenny
Vsftpd is one of the most secure and fastest FTP servers for Linux.
Usually vsftpd is configured to work with system users. This document
describes how to install a vsftpd server that uses virtual users from a
MySQL database instead of real system users. This is much more
performant and allows to have thousands of ftp users on a single
machine.

How To Set Up WebDAV With Lighttpd On Ubuntu 9.10
This guide explains how to set up WebDAV with lighttpd on an Ubuntu 9.10 server. WebDAV stands for Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning
and is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol that allow users to
directly edit files on the lighttpd server so that they do not need to
be downloaded/uploaded via FTP. Of course, WebDAV can also be used to
upload and download files.

Build Your Own Video Community With Lighttpd And FlowPlayer (Debian Lenny)
This article shows how you can build your own video community using lighttpd with its mod_flv_streaming module (for streaming .flv videos, the format used by most major video communities such as YouTube) and its mod_secdownload module (for preventing hotlinking of the videos) on Debian Lenny. I will use FlowPlayer as the video player, a free Flash video player with support for lighttpd’s mod_flv_streaming module. I will also show how you can encode videos (.mp4 .mov .mpg .3gp .mpeg .wmv .avi) to the FLV format supported by Adobe Flash.
