Install Yosemite Server Backup and the Bare Metal Disaster Recovery option on each computer that will use disaster recovery. Create a full backup of your system. Create the bootable media. It is good practice to create two sets of bootable media in the event the first set fails during disaster recovery. UPDATE 09/2017: Create a Bootable macOS High Sierra Install Drive with DiskMaker X 7. Update 09/2015: For help creating a bootable USB install drive for OS X El Capitan, click here. Apple released the latest and greatest Mac operating system last month in the form of OS X Yosemite. And like the previous versions of OS X dating back to OS X 10.7.

Sony finally released a DLNA media player for the PlayStation 4 on June 16, 2015. I don’t have a lot of streamable media, but what I do have is stored on my laptop.

I have used Plex in the past, but it is overly complicated and “heavy” for my needs. I wanted a light weight DLNA server that could be daemonized and point to a media directory. minidlna turned out to be the answer.

First, install Homebrew. You can install minidlna manually, but Homebrew makes everything much easier.

Once Homebrew is installed, install minidlna:

At the time of writing, I setup version 1.1.4.2 minidlna. The rest of this post will reference that version. Change the version as needed.

If you want minidlna’s directories, files, and logs to reside in the .config directory of your home folder, create the following directories. Otherwise, create them elsewhere.

For some reason brew does not setup the necessary minidlnad symlinks. So, create them manually:

Create file ~/.config/minidlna/minidlna.conf with the following contents. If your media is not stored in /Users/foo/.config/minidlna/media, change media_dir to the directory of your choice:

Finally, start minidlnad:

If you have the OS X Firewall turned on, you will be prompted to allow minidlnad through the firewall. Of course, allow it through if you want to be able to stream anything.

By default, minidlnad will scan for new media every 895 seconds. You can change this by killing the current minidlnad process:

And starting minidlnad with the following command:

You can force a re-scan of your media directory by killing the minidlnad process and starting it with the following command:

Now, you should be able to open Media Player on your PS4 and stream your media. Supported media formats can be found here.

These advanced steps are primarily for system administrators and others who are familiar with the command line. You don't need a bootable installer to upgrade macOS or reinstall macOS, but it can be useful when you want to install on multiple computers without downloading the installer each time.

What you need to create a bootable installer

• A USB flash drive or other secondary volume formatted as Mac OS Extended, with at least 14 GB of available storage
• A downloaded installer for macOS Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra or El Capitan

Download macOS

• Download: macOS Big Sur, macOS Catalina, macOS Mojave or macOS High Sierra
  These will be downloaded to your Applications folder as an app named Install macOS [version name]. If the installer opens after downloading, quit it without continuing installation. To get the correct installer, download from a Mac that is using macOS Sierra 10.12.5 or later, or El Capitan 10.11.6. Enterprise administrators, please download from Apple, not a locally hosted software-update server.
• Download: OS X El Capitan
  This will be downloaded as a disk image named InstallMacOSX.dmg. On a Mac that is compatible with El Capitan, open the disk image and run the installer within, named InstallMacOSX.pkg. It will install an app named Install OS X El Capitan into your Applications folder. You will create the bootable installer from this app, not from the disk image or .pkg installer.

Use the 'createinstallmedia' command in Terminal

1. Connect the USB flash drive or other volume that you're using for the bootable installer.
2. Open Terminal, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
3. Type or paste one of the following commands in Terminal. These assume that the installer is in your Applications folder and MyVolume is the name of the USB flash drive or other volume you're using. If it has a different name, replace MyVolume in these commands with the name of your volume.

Big Sur:*

Catalina:*

Mojave:*

High Sierra:*

El Capitan:

* If your Mac is using macOS Sierra or earlier, include the --applicationpath argument and installer path, similar to the way this is done in the command for El Capitan.

After typing the command:

1. Press Return to enter the command.
2. When prompted, type your administrator password and press Return again. Terminal doesn't show any characters as you type your password.
3. When prompted, type Y to confirm that you want to erase the volume, then press Return. Terminal shows the progress as the volume is erased.
4. After the volume has been erased, you may see an alert stating that Terminal would like to access files on a removable volume. Click OK to allow the copy to proceed.
5. When Terminal says that it's been completed, the volume will have the same name as the installer you downloaded, such as Install macOS Big Sur. You can now quit Terminal and eject the volume.
