Netatalk is a Free and Open Source AFP fileserver. A *NIX or BSD system running Netatalk is capable of serving many Macintosh clients simultaneously as an AppleShare file server.
Netatalk 2.3.2 is available!
The Netatalk development team is proud to announce a new release of the Netatalk 2 release series, notable for maintaining support for AppleTalk clients.
A Dockerfile and container entry script have been added which allows you to run Netatalk 2 containerized. AppleTalk networking is supported if the host OS has an AppleTalk network stack. Either build a Docker image yourself from the code, or pull a pre-built image from Docker Hub.
A macOS style launchd configuration file and netatalkd helper script has been added. Build it by configuring the build system with the --enable-macos parameter. Using these allows you to bypass recent limitations in macOS Sonoma that prevents forking daemons to run.
Netatalk's pap is now able to print to an ImageWriter II or LQ connected to the LocalTalk network, with papstatus providing more status information for this line of Apple printers.

Renamed:
Netatalk versions 2.2.7 through 2.2.10 had the non-standard behavior of not rebroadcasting routing information originating from other subnets. This made certain Asanté or Dayna LocalTalk hardware bridges able to coexist with netatalk, with the drawback that subnets behind other routers aren't visible to the netatalk clients.
Netatalk 2.3.0 restores the correct behavior as per the AppleTalk specification. If you want to emulate the previous non-standard behavior, you can start atalkd with the newly introduced -q parameter.
