Greyhole not on root

2019-07-16T02:20:24Z

Taa:

Do '''NOT''' add your root partition '''/''' to your [[Greyhole]] storage pool.

If your root partition fills up, your system may be rendered unbootable. That's not good.

We recommend that you create an additional partition for this purpose.

<ul>
<li>Your server will boot with the static IP you pre-configured in the Amahi control panel</li>
<li>This is a headless server, therefore it will boot to a text console. There is no desktop user interface.

<li>You can verify if the dashboard is available by accessing it from any client using the IP address of your server '''<nowiki>http://IPADDRESS/</nowiki>''' or '''<nowiki>http://hda/</nowiki>''' (in most Windows clients this works even without DNS from your HDA)</li>

<li>You can verify if the dashboard is available by accessing it from any client using the IP address of your server '''<nowiki>http://IPADDRESS/</nowiki>''' or '''<nowiki>http://hda/</nowiki>''' (in most Windows clients this works even without DNS from your HDA)</li>

</ul>
What this does is installs the Amahi F27 repo, gets the mariadb base packages to avoid dependency conflicts, and installs base Amahi packages (that part should install several packages).

If there are no errors, install Amahi (replace ''YOUR-INSTALL-CODE'' above with install code you got when creating a profile at [https://www.amahi.org/users your Amahi control panel]).

If all goes well, it should tell you to reboot. Go ahead and reboot!

Once it comes back from the reboot, you should have a fully functional home server using the IP address you set up in your network!

Next you need to transition your network to use it!

= Transitioning to your Amahi server =

Once installed, you will want to transition your network to using your Amahi server. Here are some of the things you should know:

<ul>
<li>Your server will boot with the static IP you pre-configured in the Amahi control panel</li>
<li>This is a headless server, therefore it will boot to a text console. There is no desktop user interface. '''Installing the Desktop (e.g. GNOME) interface will break DNS/DHCP and make the HDA as an unsuitable network server''' [[Amahi_8_Troubleshooting#Virtualization_Stack_Breaks_DNS.2FDHCP_Server|(details)]]</li>
<li>It's strongly recommended you follow the [[transition to Amahi]] HDA guide to get your network fully working properly</li>
<li>You can verify if the dashboard is available by accessing it from any client using the IP address of your server '''<nowiki>http://IPADDRESS/</nowiki>''' or '''<nowiki>http://hda/</nowiki>''' (in most Windows clients this works even without DNS from your HDA)</li>

Amahi 8 Install

2015-10-16T04:00:50Z

Taa: Added blank line before, "For assistance...". Insert the word "it" between "accessing it from".

__TOC__

'''NOTES:'''
* The only '''officially supported''' install media is Fedora 21 Server.
* Ensure your system meets the [[Requirements|minimum hardware requirements]] for Amahi before proceeding.
* 32-bit installs '''are not''' available nor supported in Amahi 8.
* '''NOT ALL''' apps available in Amahi 7 are fully operational for Amahi 8. Check the [https://www.amahi.org/apps App Store] before proceeding.
* You must install Fedora 21 Server prior to installing Amahi 8.

For assistance, visit the [https://forums.amahi.org Amahi Forums] or live support on the [http://talk.amahi.org Amahi IRC channel].

== Install Fedora 21 ==

There are two ways to install Fedora: Minimal (CD), so-called Netinstall, which is recommended, and the Full (DVD) install for cases that need more hardware support.

=== Minimal (CD) Install ===

We recommend this method for a quick download and fast installation.

Download the Fedora 21 Netinstall CD for 64 bit (424MB).

* Primary: [http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/21/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-21.iso Fedora 21 Netinstall 64-bit] (http)
* Alternate: [http://dl.amahi.org/isos/Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-21.iso Fedora 21 Netinstall 64-bit] (http)

Burn the ISO to CD (or DVD), insert the DVD into your server, reboot the system, and follow the [[Fedora 21 Minimal Install]] instructions.

=== Full (DVD) Install ===

This is only recommended for cases where the Minimal install does not work well (e.g. if your hardware needs extra drivers).

Download the Fedora 21 Server DVD for 64 bit (1.91GB), preferably using torrents

* Torrents:
** Primary: [https://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents/Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-21.torrent Fedora 21 Server 64-bit] (torrent)
** Alternate: [http://dl.amahi.org/isos/Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-21.torrent Fedora 21 Server 64-bit] (torrent)

* Direct http download:
** Primary: [http://mirror.web-ster.com/fedora/releases/21/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-21.iso Fedora 21 Server 64-bit] (http)
** Alternate: [http://dl.amahi.org/isos/Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-21.iso Fedora 21 Server 64-bit] (http)

Burn the ISO to DVD, insert the DVD into your server, reboot the system, and follow the [[Fedora 21 Server Install]] instructions.

=== USB Install ===

You may follow the [[USB Install]] guidance for USB installs using one of the ISO images above if needed.

== Install Amahi 8 ==

Next, install Amahi 8 proper on top of Fedora 21.

You need to obtain an install code (denoted YOUR-INSTALL-CODE below) from the [https://www.amahi.org/users Amahi control panel] after configuring a profile for the system you are installing, with '''proper network configuration''' for your network.

From text console or using SSH, login with the user created in the Fedora 21 installation and become ''root'' for the Amahi installation
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left">
sudo su -
</div>

After that, type these commands in the console:

<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left">
<nowiki>rpm -Uvh http://f21.amahi.org/noarch/hda-release-6.9.0-1.noarch.rpm</nowiki>
yum -y install mariadb-libs mariadb-server
yum -y install hda-ctl hda-platform
hda-install YOUR-INSTALL-CODE
</div>
What this does is this: Installs the Amahi F21 repo, gets the mariadb base packages to avoid dependency conflicts, and installs base Amahi packages (that part should install several packages).

If there are no errors, install Amahi (replace ''YOUR-INSTALL-CODE'' above with install code you got when creating a profile at [https://www.amahi.org/users your Amahi control panel]).

If all goes well, it should tell you to reboot. Go ahead and reboot!

Once it comes back from the reboot, you should have a fully functional home server using the IP address you set up in your network!

Next you need to transition your network to use it!

== Transitioning to using your Amahi server ==

Once installed, you will want to transition your network to using your Amahi server. Here are some of the things you should know:

* Your server will boot with the static IP you pre-configured in the Amahi control panel
* You can verify if the dashboard is available by accessing it from any client using the IP address of your server '''<nowiki>http://IPADDRESS/</nowiki>''' or '''<nowiki>http://hda/</nowiki>''' (in most Windows clients this works even without DNS from your HDA)
* For best results, it's recommended that you [[Turning_off_DHCP_in_your_router|turn off the previous DHCP server]] and let Amahi handle DHCP so that DNS falls into place automatically. If not, then you must [[Turning_off_DHCP|turn off the HDA DHCP server]].
* [[RenewIP|Reboot all clients]] (or turn off network and turn back on) to get them to use DHCP leases from your Amahi server
* The first time it will initialize, ask you to login, and enter a dashboard password. This is the [[Fedora_21_Minimal_Install#Create_First_Admin_User|First Admin User created]] earlier in the Fedora 21 installation.
* Once you reach your [[Setup|dashboard]], you should [[Storage_and_file_sharing|create shares]] as needed, [[Adding_a_second_hard_drive_to_your_HDA|add more drives]], install apps, etc., etc.
* Optionally refer to [[Greyhole#Amahi_7.2F8|Greyhole]] to install/configure storage pooling.

Amahi on VirtualBox

2015-10-16T03:50:21Z

Taa: /* Run the installation */ Grammer, punctuation.

{{MessageBox|
backgroundcolor = #faa|
image =Warning.png|
heading =WARNING|
message = Amahi 7.x (for Fedora 19) specific instructions!}}

[https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Amahi_Virtualized Back to 'Amahi Virtualized']
= Why do this? =

If you want to test Amahi without upsetting your existing network configuration, one of the easiest ways of doing so is using a virtual machine. The following description applies to VirtualBox, version 3.2.10. It results in a functioning Amahi install that can be accessed both from the host machine and other VMs, including PXE-booting VM.

= Prerequisites =

* A working installation of VirtualBox
* An Express CD image (this was tested with Amahi-5.4-Express-2.6-Beta-i386.iso). This can be done using the normal Fedora i386/x86_64 DVD as well.
* A desire to do this!

= The catch =

The process is fractionally more complex than a standard Amahi install, because we need to tweak the VM network configuration part-way through.

You will also need to know the IP address range that your version of VirtualBox uses for its "Host only" network type. Check the network configuration of the host system.

On a Mac OS host, there's an interface called "vboxnet0". At the time of writing, the default on Mac OS is 192.168.56.1.

On a Linux host, you need to create "vboxnet0" on VirtualBox. It's on file -> Settings -> Network, and then add a host only network. It will also have 192.168.56.1 as default IP address range.

= Configure the hda =

First, configure your Amahi install in the usual way at the [http://www.amahi.org/user control panel]. You must use the IP address of the VirtualBox "Host only" interface as your gateway (in my case, 192.168.56.1).

You can also set the VirtualBox DHCP server to a single start/end address (i.e. 192.168.56.10). This will ensure your VM has only one possible IP and that will be the one you add to the profile. If you do not do this, then you will need to find out the IP address in order to access the dashboard.

If you want to use the VirtualBox DHCP server, here's how to do it. Be aware that this affects ''all'' virtual machines on the host system, not just the virtual machine you are creating for Amahi.

* In the VirtualBox Manager go to File -> Preferences -> Network -> Host-only Networks -> double-click on "VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter" -> select the DHCP Server tab.
* Check "Enable Server".
** Server Address: 192.168.56.1
** Server Mask: 255.255.255.0
** Lower Address Bound: 192.168.56.10
** Upper Address Bound: 192.168.56.10

If you have already have Amahi on your network, you might wish to consider changing the home domain to something other than home.com.

Make a note of the install code indicated.

= Create the VM =
Create a fresh VM in the usual VirtualBox way:

* Name it as you see fit ("Amahi-test")
* Select "Linux" and "Fedora" as the OS and version
* Create a virtual disk for the installation: 8GB, dynamically sized should be sufficient

Once you've created the VM, go to the settings window and do the following:

* Check that the first network interface is configured as NAT
* Under storage, attach the Express CD image as a CD

= Run the installation =
Start your VM and it will boot from the CD image. Work through the Express CD installer in the usual way, entering the install code that the Amahi control panel gave you earlier. You will be asked to reboot a couple of times during the process. (During the first reboot you will have to disconnect the Express CD iso image, otherwise you'll get back to the installer menu.)

Eventually, the console should show a text login prompt. At which point you should shut down the VM, either by sending the shutdown signal from VirtualBox or log in and issue the '''shutdown''' command.

= Altering the VM network config =
At this stage we are going to configure ''two'' network interfaces. Open the VirtualBox network settings window for your VM. Configure the first two adapters thus:

* Adapter 1: Enabled, Attached to: Host-only Adapter
* Adapter 2: Enabled, Attached to: NAT

= Reconfiguring the network =
Boot the VM and wait for the login prompt. Login as admin (default password: admin) and use su to become root.

== For Fedora 14 ==
Using your favourite editor, create the file:

<blockquote><pre>/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1</pre></blockquote>

with the contents:

{{Text|Text=DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes}}

== For Ubuntu 10.04 ==
Using your favorite editor, open the file:

<blockquote><pre>/etc/network/interfaces</pre></blockquote>

At the end of the file add:

{{Text|Text=auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp}}

= Reinitialize the gateway =

Now we need to reconfigure the hda to ensure that it picks up the new network config, using the command hda-change-gw and the IP address of the host-only network. In my case:
{{Code|hda-change-gw 192.168.56.1}}

This allows amahi to serve on the host-only network, eth0, while still having access to the wider internet through the eth1 NAT interface. (The latter is necessary if you want to install any apps, for instance.)

Now reboot.

= Test it =
Wait until the VM comes back up and open a web browser. Browse to http://192.168.56.10 should put up the usual Amahi log-in page. If not, something's gone wrong. You can also connect via ssh from the host if you don't want to use the VirtualBox console.

Note that the DNS & DHCP will not be visible from the host system unless you alter the host system config. However, other VMs connected to the same host-only network will be able to use these services, including PXE-booting.

= Other approaches to network config =
Amahi will work behind VirtualBox NAT quite happily, but at the time of writing, VirtualBox port-forwarding doesn't play nicely with Amahi's network config. (Or at least it didn't for me.) NAT also won't permit two virtual machines communicating (e.g. for testing PXE-booting).

== Bridged Mode ==
If you want Amahi within the VM to serve other machines on your LAN, select bridged mode instead of NAT initially and don't alter the network config. The basic install process will ''just work''.

However, in your [https://www.amahi.org/user Amahi control panel] you should enter a configuraion that matches your existin network and does not clash with any other machine. This is important.

If you are running on a Linux host, you can go into the "Advanced" settings and set the "Adapter Type" to "Paravirtualized Network (virtio-net)". For more information as to why you might want to do this, check read [http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Virtio here].

Amahi on VirtualBox

2015-10-16T03:46:20Z

Taa: /* Create the VM */ Added extra blank line before "Once you've created..."

{{MessageBox|

heading =WARNING|
message = Amahi 7.x (for Fedora 19) specific instructions!}}

[https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Amahi_Virtualized Back to 'Amahi Virtualized']
= Why do this? =

If you want to test Amahi without upsetting your existing network configuration, one of the easiest ways of doing so is using a virtual machine. The following description applies to VirtualBox, version 3.2.10. It results in a functioning Amahi install that can be accessed both from the host machine and other VMs, including PXE-booting VM.

= Prerequisites =

* A working installation of VirtualBox
* An Express CD image (this was tested with Amahi-5.4-Express-2.6-Beta-i386.iso). This can be done using the normal Fedora i386/x86_64 DVD as well.
* A desire to do this!

= The catch =

The process is fractionally more complex than a standard Amahi install, because we need to tweak the VM network configuration part-way through.

You will also need to know the IP address range that your version of VirtualBox uses for its "Host only" network type. Check the network configuration of the host system.

On a Mac OS host, there's an interface called "vboxnet0". At the time of writing, the default on Mac OS is 192.168.56.1.

On a Linux host, you need to create "vboxnet0" on VirtualBox. It's on file -> Settings -> Network, and then add a host only network. It will also have 192.168.56.1 as default IP address range.

Talk:Greyhole grinder

Taa: Known Grehole issues

I hope this is the right place to ask this question. I clicked on the "discussion" link for this page. I'm a Wiki n00b so if the forum is the better place, just let me know. :D

From the blog: "... one of the things that we know we have to do is knock out the more obscure bugs in it."

I'm working to get up to speed on Amahi as I migrate from a third (and final!) WHS crash. What are the known Greyhole issues so I can pay particular attention as I set up my first Amahi server?
