<div>'''Welcome to ''Amahi Wiki''!'''<br />
We hope you will contribute much and well.<br />
You will probably want to read the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Contents help pages].<br />
Again, welcome and have fun! [[User:Cpg|carlos]] ([[User talk:Cpg|talk]]) 18:32, 20 February 2021 (UTC)</div>Cpghttps://wiki.amahi.org/index.php?title=Google_Summer_of_Code_Ideas&diff=116586Google Summer of Code Ideas2021-02-20T10:43:54Z<p>Cpg: </p>

= About Amahi=<br />
<br />
We're looking for students with skills in these areas: current technologies like RoR, ruby, python, PHP, as well as next generation technologies, like Go (we use it for streaming to our mobile apps), [https://nodejs.org/ Node.js], [https://github.com/amahi/spdy HTTP/2], javascript frameworks for user interaction, visualization or server services, etc.<br />
<br />
'''We're also looking for hardware projects! Creating a Raspberry Pi-style device with great I/O that can run Amahi smoothly is a long-tem goal for Amahi!'''<br />
<br />
Amahi started of a need to keep a personal/home cloud server, keep all my family's photos, videos, documents, and generally any data. It expanded into running applications, mostly web apps, from anything to doing backups to automatic downloaders, media managers and much more.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a full and proper server made up of<br />
* A Linux system based on a mainline distribution, currently Fedora, but we supported Ubuntu before as well<br />
* An [https://github.com/amahi/hda-ctl installer] to help the user bring bring Amahi up in their system<br />
* A [https://github.com/amahi/platform platform], which is a web app that the user uses to manage their server, add apps<br />
* [https://www.amahi.org/apps Apps] that are installed by using the platform<br />
* Two mobile apps to access data and apps, for [http://www.amahi.org/android Android] and [http://www.amahi.org/ios iOS].<br />
<br />
At Amahi we use git (see our [https://github.com/amahi Github repo]) for our version management and the technologies we have ended up using are Ruby, Ruby on Rails, PHP, Linux system internal technologies like system services, configuration areas, web server virtualhosts, databases, DNS, etc., etc.<br />
<br />
= What to do (and NOT do) first =<br />
<br />
Let's talk about what NOT to do first, because many people automatically start badly by doing these:<br />
* do '''not''' comment randomly in github issues, e.g. introducing yourself in a GH issue, saying you would like to do something, or just "make noise"<br />
* do '''not''' blindly try to build things without understanding what Amahi is and what it does<br />
* do '''not''' just submit a pull request or issue a bug without really knowing what you are up to<br />
* do '''not''' just come to IRC, say something and vanish shortly thereafter. Stay for a while. People come and go. Ask your question and stick around. Get a client that can linger for a while. Sometimes it takes hours for some people to return<br />
<br />
BUT First, Introduce yourself, interact with the community, so please [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScP4Q2iSzLXCjz1gK2eNutO8IhX_PETXU2bL8pqmhe2t1nCqg/viewform?usp=sf_link introduce yourself with this form], so that we know your background and interests.<br />
<br />
If you have questions about Amahi or just want to interact, you can contact us via IRC on [http://talk.amahi.org #amahi on irc.freenode.net] (fairly active) or on the amahi-devel [[mailing list]] (not as active). Don't forget that we are open to suggestions, extensions or adaptations. Feel free to discuss or propose new ideas for projects!<br />
<br />
One of the most important things is to find an area that you '''enjoy''', using a programming environment that you know or that you are willing to learn quickly, so read below or ask questions.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in being a mentor, we have a few great mentors as of today, but we're very welcoming of more ideas and more mentors!<br />
<br />
See the [[#Mentors|mentors]] below. Looking for ideas to mentor, see the [[#Other Ideas|other ideas]] below.<br />
<br />
=List of Project Ideas=<br />
<br />
We have organized the ideas in groups, depending what area of Amahi they belong in. These groups are not in any particular order. For instance if you are a front-end person who knows HTML and Javascript, the GUI/UX may well be the best fit and we'd love to hear from you!<br />
<br />
== Platform ==<br />
<br />
===Plugin Apps ===<br />
<br />
Plugins are "mini apps" that live inside the Amahi platform and thus little interface need to be developed for them. They are familiar and provide easy, focused value to the user. Ideas:<br />
<br />
* Support for automatic issuing/renewal and installation of [https://letsencrypt.org/ Let's Encrypt] certificates in the platform, for external access across the internet<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1361 Share space usage]: Using [http://d3js.org D3.js] (for example) to visualize things internal to the system, like finding out the disk space used by shares, disk usage over time, etc.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1480 Wake-on-LAN (WOL)]: The Amahi [http://www.amahi.org/apps/wake-on-lan-server Wake-On-LAN Server] app currently provides this capability.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1481 Virus Scan Shares]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1489 Netboot Settings/Configuration]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1487 Mail Relay] (i.e. using Gmail or ISP)<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1459 Convert app] [https://www.amahi.org/apps/Amahi-energy-saver Amahi Energy Saver] to a plugin.<br />
* View log files in web browser ([https://github.com/tobi/clarity Clarity using RoR])<br />
* Ability to update default SSL certificates (used by [https://www.amahi.org/apps/openvpn OpenVPN], [https://www.amahi.org/apps/amahi-anywhere Amahi Anywhere], etc).<br />
* AmahiTunes revival<br />
* RAID (SW, MDADM?) support<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1458 SMART Disk] monitoring<br />
<br />

=== [https://www.amahi.org/apps/disk-wizard Disk Wizard] ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Expanding the storage capacity is an important feature of Amahi. The DW is a critical part. However, it's not as stable as it should be. It should detect more partition types and handle everything gracefully, even when it can't act upon certain configurations.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Stability improvements and especially thoroughly testing this plugin for disk/partition management.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Low level system scripting<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
=== Amahi 12 ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': [[Amahi 12]] is our next release.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Work closely with the core team to define the features and functionality that we need to implement to get Amahi released. This project is about working on RoR and the Amahi platform core. Some of the core technology will need to be upgraded, like Rails 5, latest Phusion Passenger, possibly replace MySQL for the platform, create a native API to the platform that can be used by other apps, like mobile apps. Other ideas include beefing up security and provide support for Amahi hosting on the cloud. Features:<br />
<br />
* make platform even more modular and cleaner (at the moment we still have some things that really belong in plugins but still are in controllers/views of the main app)<br />
* possibly using a new metal layer instead of passenger - especially ones that do not take a long time to reload, could be puma, i also like thin, maybe others<br />
* better initialization ... like a more standard (wordpress-like) initialization wizard (initially there are no users, we need to create an admin user and perhaps ask a few questions and integrate with amahi.org)<br />
* Implement sharing of folders among the friend servers.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, ruby, JS, CSS, HTML5, Bootstrap<br />

== Android Mobile App==<br />
<br />
Our mobile apps have streaming, browsing and sharing and it's a great topic.<br />
<br />
This year we're going to try emphasizing the Android app a little more.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Android App Improvements===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Amahi android offers the ability to stream your HDA over your Android phone and Android TV, support for Chromecast and auto upload of images to HDA. The next step is to complete the following objectives:<br />
<br />
'''Objectives''':<br />
<br />
* Android TV Revamp: The Android TV app is outdated at the moment and doesn't follow the latest design principles of Android. We have to redesign the app so that Amahi is accessible on Android TV again.<br />
* Support for Dagger 2: The current app is written using Dagger 1. We have to port the code to Dagger 2 so that we can use the latest libraries which are dependent on it.<br />
* Support for NAU: Complete the app with support for Non-Admin User which currently exists on the server side only. Ref: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1jZAdXpSGQRJ6xN2WCzqkiPxQPUW2VHsAnpENZKbT2z0<br />
* UI Improvements and UI Testing<br />
* Adding an Expresso based automated UI testing protocol.<br />
* Improve Background Service<br />
* Improve the app for uploading media on the HDA when the app isn't present in the foreground<br />
* Implement the Friending Feature<br />
* Phone Auto-Backup: Develop a module which does an Auto backup of the phone to the HDA over Local connection (reference: Helium)<br />
* Implement sharing of folders or shares with other servers. https://docs.google.com/document/d/14JsH9-aZrE3Z-35Oo38IY1-3Nd5BJiR_G0DshhjKSM4/<br />
* Add support for VPN proxy so that user can access the HDA from the phone over a VPN proxy tunnel.<br />
* Implementing the PlayerAdapter in Android TV to support previews.<br />
* Store and display the last opened of each file.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Java, Android framework<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Chirag<br />
<br />
'''Reference''': [https://github.com/amahi/android Amahi Android Github repo]<br />
<br />
== Apps==<br />
<br />
Innovative app or app packaging and app-related projects.<br />
<br />
===Improved VPN Security===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improve the security of our OpenVPN and IPSec VPN apps. Examples are allowing users to generate their own certificates, identify weak spots and strengthen them.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': For the example of generating their own certificates, build a wizard to allow users to create and manage their certificates. Another goal would be to provide logging of VPN connections, so that the user can see the activity on their VPN.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': keen sense of security settings, certificates<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Rod, Carlos<br />
<br />
===Caching Server===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': a caching proxy to save on bandwidth<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Develop a plugin that will allow an administrator user to control the traffic for specific devices inside the network. This app (or possibly a plugin) should display all the connected device as well as provide the ability to search by name/MAC address. For a selected device the administrator should:<br />
*Limit access between certain time intervals<br />
*Limit bandwidth<br />
*Block certain websites (either on an individual basis or read them from a file)<br />
*Limit traffic<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': system configuration and scripting<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
===Create UI and package it for RSnapshot===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Make a UI for rsnapshot<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': [http://www.rsnapshot.org/ RSnapshot] is a great application to backup local data, making efficient use of storage as well as CPU resources and can handle a lot of data. A one-click app that includes a UI to set up and manage RSnapshot backups. Also, possibly backup to GDrive, S3, other cloud solutions<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, system programming<br />
<br />
'''Mentor''': Carlos, Rod, Sukhbir<br />
<br />
'''References'''<br />

<br />
==Installer==<br />
<br />
===Improved Installation===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improved installation experience for users.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Configuration and installation of Amahi can be painful for some percentage of users. Many of them do not know much or care for Linux. We want to make the installation as smooth as possible not just for them, but for more even more regular (non-techy) users. Ubuntu has some challenges of its own to make it work without dropping the users to the command line.<br />
* Create a new [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda Anaconda] node for Amahi configuration<br />
* Similarly for Ubuntu<br />
* Make images that enable booting from USB devices "out of the box"<br />
* Detect sub-optimal configurations of disk partitions and provide feedback to the user<br />
* Measure and analyze how users get tripped on installation and create ways to tackle these issues, bringing installation issues down<br />
<br />
<br />
Idea: use [https://github.com/diafygi/webrtc-ips this package ] to help improve installation networking issues.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Python, Linux boot process internals, creating ISO images<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
==Amahi Anywhere==<br />
<br />
The mobile apps use API endpoints provided by Amahi Anywhere for browsing, downloading and streaming files and more.<br />
<br />
'''References''':<br />
* [https://www.amahi.org/apps/amahi-anywhere Amahi Anywhere App]<br />
* [https://github.com/amahi/amahi-anywhere-specs Amahi Anywhere Specs]<br />
<br />
===Improvements in AA File Server===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Amahi Anywhere File Server exposes HDA files and directories via REST APIs and also allows to upload new files<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Following features can be implemented:<br />
<br />
* API to access platform apps over remote via proxy<br />
* Better logging ([https://github.com/amahi/amahi-anywhere-fs/issues/4 Issue #4])<br />
* Simplistic dashboard to view some metrics like number of users connected, access logs for each user, system health etc.<br />
* API to fetch metadata (duration, codec, album art image, title, artist name, album name, year etc.) for audio / video files<br />
* Create and cache low resolution thumbnail for image files for faster loading and enhanced experience<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': GoLang, REST API Understanding<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Chirag<br />
<br />
'''Reference''': [https://github.com/amahi/amahi-anywhere-fs/ Amahi Anywhere FS Github repo]<br />
<br />
===Improvements in External Proxy===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': External proxy provides API endpoints for users to remotely access Amahi Anywhere File Server <br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Following features can be implemented:<br />
<br />
* Cache implementation for chunks of files passing frequently through proxy to speed up response and save bandwidth<br />
* Dashboard to view metrics on both connected mobile and Amahi Anywhere FS clients<br />
* Ability to ban a client<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': GoLang<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Chirag<br />
<br />
=Other Ideas=<br />
<br />
* Add features to our popular mobile apps: Offer to display image-heavy folders and shares within a "gallery" or collection view, add the ability to navigate and stream shares containing music in a streamlined way, Dynamic search, SPDY support, for both remote and local queries, support for accessing HDA web applications within Amahi for iOS, share folders and files from your HDA to other apps or users, support for HDA user permissions (share & web app restrictions, etc.). Mentors available: Carlos<br />
* PHP API: make a native PHP SDK for the Amahi platform, so that PHP apps (we have a lot of them) can more easy be integrated <br />
* Integrate a mail server as an app. Identify any settings or configuration that need to be implemented in the platform<br />
* Router integration, UPNP, direct control<br />
* Port AES (Amahi Energy Server) to the latest Amahi<br />
* Integration of LDAP as a back-end management system, calendaring<br />
* Feature development (examples):<br />
* Calendaring, and integrated contact manager application. Possible options: 1) ownCloud based or 2) Apache carddav<br />
* For the more design-oriented, build mobile theme(s)<br />
* Documentation or screencasts/tutorials<br />
* Use sandboxing and containers to improve app stability, updating and more<br />
* Improve installation and user onboarding (OOBE)<br />
* Better upgrades with backup of apps, settings, etc.<br />
* Create a backup and restore function for the Amahi Server (Idea is to backup the of the setting like the shares, paths and Fixed IP address and Mac Address, remove all the data drives) reinstall the OS or Upgrade and then put the data dives back in and then restore all the setting)<br />
* make the Amahi front end webpage more mobile-friendly<br />
* Add Icon for the install app pages and have more screenshots<br />
* make it easier to run multi servers on one network<br />
* DHCP page a button to add a device to Fixed IP address will be able to change the fix IP address and the Name or just us the default one<br />
* update Button on installed apps this will only work on apps that are updateable, it will run an update script from when the was created, lots of apps nowadays are updated able and would save time uninstalled and reinstalling<br />
* Create a page or tab on Amahi front end to be able to add docker container apps select icon and name and address:port <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Plus, of course we are open to suggestions. Open a dialog. We're happy to discuss and determine a suitable project.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a platform that will support the deployment of other open source applications. If you are interested in the integration of applications in your area of interest, just contact us with suggestions.<br />

= About Amahi=<br />
<br />
We're looking for students with skills in these areas: current technologies like RoR, ruby, python, PHP, as well as next generation technologies, like Go (we use it for streaming to our mobile apps), [https://nodejs.org/ Node.js], [https://github.com/amahi/spdy HTTP/2], javascript frameworks for user interaction, visualization or server services, etc.<br />
<br />
'''We're also looking for hardware projects! Creating a Raspberry Pi-style device with great I/O that can run Amahi smoothly is a long-tem goal for Amahi!'''<br />
<br />
Amahi started of a need to keep a personal/home cloud server, keep all my family's photos, videos, documents, and generally any data. It expanded into running applications, mostly web apps, from anything to doing backups to automatic downloaders, media managers and much more.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a full and proper server made up of<br />
* A Linux system based on a mainline distribution, currently Fedora, but we supported Ubuntu before as well<br />
* An [https://github.com/amahi/hda-ctl installer] to help the user bring bring Amahi up in their system<br />
* A [https://github.com/amahi/platform platform], which is a web app that the user uses to manage their server, add apps<br />
* [https://www.amahi.org/apps Apps] that are installed by using the platform<br />
* Two mobile apps to access data and apps, for [http://www.amahi.org/android Android] and [http://www.amahi.org/ios iOS].<br />
<br />
At Amahi we use git (see our [https://github.com/amahi Github repo]) for our version management and the technologies we have ended up using are Ruby, Ruby on Rails, PHP, Linux system internal technologies like system services, configuration areas, web server virtualhosts, databases, DNS, etc., etc.<br />
<br />
= What to do (and NOT do) first =<br />
<br />
Let's talk about what NOT to do first, because many people automatically start badly by doing these:<br />
* do '''not''' comment randomly in github issues, e.g. introducing yourself in a GH issue, saying you would like to do something, or just "make noise"<br />
* do '''not''' blindly try to build things without understanding what Amahi is and what it does<br />
* do '''not''' just submit a pull request or issue a bug without really knowing what you are up to<br />
* do '''not''' just come to IRC, say something and vanish shortly thereafter. Stay for a while. People come and go. Ask your question and stick around. Get a client that can linger for a while. Sometimes it takes hours for some people to return<br />
<br />
BUT First, Introduce yourself, interact with the community, so please [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScP4Q2iSzLXCjz1gK2eNutO8IhX_PETXU2bL8pqmhe2t1nCqg/viewform?usp=sf_link introduce yourself with this form], so that we know your background and interests.<br />
<br />
If you have questions about Amahi or just want to interact, you can contact us via IRC on [http://talk.amahi.org #amahi on irc.freenode.net] (fairly active) or on the amahi-devel [[mailing list]] (not as active). Don't forget that we are open to suggestions, extensions or adaptations. Feel free to discuss or propose new ideas for projects!<br />
<br />
One of the most important things is to find an area that you '''enjoy''', using a programming environment that you know or that you are willing to learn quickly, so read below or ask questions.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in being a mentor, we have a few great mentors as of today, but we're very welcoming of more ideas and more mentors!<br />
<br />
See the [[#Mentors|mentors]] below. Looking for ideas to mentor, see the [[#Other Ideas|other ideas]] below.<br />
<br />
=List of Project Ideas=<br />
<br />
We have organized the ideas in groups, depending what area of Amahi they belong in. These groups are not in any particular order. For instance if you are a front-end person who knows HTML and Javascript, the GUI/UX may well be the best fit and we'd love to hear from you!<br />
<br />
== Platform ==<br />
<br />
===Plugin Apps ===<br />
<br />
Plugins are "mini apps" that live inside the Amahi platform and thus little interface need to be developed for them. They are familiar and provide easy, focused value to the user. Ideas:<br />
<br />
* Support for automatic issuing/renewal and installation of [https://letsencrypt.org/ Let's Encrypt] certificates in the platform, for external access across the internet<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1361 Share space usage]: Using [http://d3js.org D3.js] (for example) to visualize things internal to the system, like finding out the disk space used by shares, disk usage over time, etc.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1480 Wake-on-LAN (WOL)]: The Amahi [http://www.amahi.org/apps/wake-on-lan-server Wake-On-LAN Server] app currently provides this capability.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1481 Virus Scan Shares]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1489 Netboot Settings/Configuration]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1487 Mail Relay] (i.e. using Gmail or ISP)<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1459 Convert app] [https://www.amahi.org/apps/Amahi-energy-saver Amahi Energy Saver] to a plugin.<br />
* View log files in web browser ([https://github.com/tobi/clarity Clarity using RoR])<br />
* Ability to update default SSL certificates (used by [https://www.amahi.org/apps/openvpn OpenVPN], [https://www.amahi.org/apps/amahi-anywhere Amahi Anywhere], etc).<br />

=== [https://www.amahi.org/apps/disk-wizard Disk Wizard] ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Expanding the storage capacity is an important feature of Amahi. The DW is a critical part. However, it's not as stable as it should be. It should detect more partition types and handle everything gracefully, even when it can't act upon certain configurations.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Stability improvements and especially thoroughly testing this plugin for disk/partition management.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Low level system scripting<br />

<br />
<br />
=== Amahi 12 ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': [[Amahi 12]] is our next release.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Work closely with the core team to define the features and functionality that we need to implement to get Amahi released. This project is about working on RoR and the Amahi platform core. Some of the core technology will need to be upgraded, like Rails 5, latest Phusion Passenger, possibly replace MySQL for the platform, create a native API to the platform that can be used by other apps, like mobile apps. Other ideas include beefing up security and provide support for Amahi hosting on the cloud. Features:<br />
<br />
* make platform even more modular and cleaner (at the moment we still have some things that really belong in plugins but still are in controllers/views of the main app)<br />
* possibly using a new metal layer instead of passenger - especially ones that do not take a long time to reload, could be puma, i also like thin, maybe others<br />
* better initialization ... like a more standard (wordpress-like) initialization wizard (initially there are no users, we need to create an admin user and perhaps ask a few questions and integrate with amahi.org)<br />
* Implement sharing of folders among the friend servers.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, ruby, JS, CSS, HTML5, Bootstrap<br />

== Android Mobile App==<br />
<br />
Our mobile apps have streaming, browsing and sharing and it's a great topic.<br />
<br />
This year we're going to try emphasizing the Android app a little more.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Android App Improvements===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Amahi android offers the ability to stream your HDA over your Android phone and Android TV, support for Chromecast and auto upload of images to HDA. The next step is to complete the following objectives:<br />
<br />
'''Objectives''':<br />
<br />
* Add support for secondary user login support in the Android app over both Local and Remote connection. <br />
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1jZAdXpSGQRJ6xN2WCzqkiPxQPUW2VHsAnpENZKbT2z0/<br />
* Develop a module which does an Auto backup of the phone to the HDA over Local connection (reference: Helium).<br />
* Implement sharing of folders or shares with other servers.<br />
https://docs.google.com/document/d/14JsH9-aZrE3Z-35Oo38IY1-3Nd5BJiR_G0DshhjKSM4/<br />
* Add support for VPN proxy so that user can access the HDA from the phone over a VPN proxy tunnel.<br />
* Implementing the PlayerAdapter in Android TV to support previews.<br />
* Adding an Expresso based automated UI testing protocol.<br />
* Improving the layouts for both portrait and landscape mode and other UI/UX improvements so that they adhere to the latest material design guidelines from Google.<br />
* Creating a new Theme Amahi Light whose colour scheme adheres to the colour scheme of the Amahi website.<br />
* Store and display the last opened of each file.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Java, Android framework<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Chirag<br />
<br />
'''Reference''': [https://github.com/amahi/android Amahi Android Github repo]<br />
<br />
== Apps==<br />
<br />
Innovative app or app packaging and app-related projects.<br />
<br />
===Improved VPN Security===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improve the security of our OpenVPN and IPSec VPN apps. Examples are allowing users to generate their own certificates, identify weak spots and strengthen them.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': For the example of generating their own certificates, build a wizard to allow users to create and manage their certificates. Another goal would be to provide logging of VPN connections, so that the user can see the activity on their VPN.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': keen sense of security settings, certificates<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Rod, Carlos<br />
<br />
===Caching Server===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': a caching proxy to save on bandwidth<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Develop a plugin that will allow an administrator user to control the traffic for specific devices inside the network. This app (or possibly a plugin) should display all the connected device as well as provide the ability to search by name/MAC address. For a selected device the administrator should:<br />
*Limit access between certain time intervals<br />
*Limit bandwidth<br />
*Block certain websites (either on an individual basis or read them from a file)<br />
*Limit traffic<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': system configuration and scripting<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
===Create UI and package it for RSnapshot===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Make a UI for rsnapshot<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': [http://www.rsnapshot.org/ RSnapshot] is a great application to backup local data, making efficient use of storage as well as CPU resources and can handle a lot of data. A one-click app that includes a UI to set up and manage RSnapshot backups. Also, possibly backup to GDrive, S3, other cloud solutions<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, system programming<br />
<br />
'''Mentor''': Carlos, Rod, Sukhbir<br />
<br />

<br />
==Installer==<br />
<br />
===Improved Installation===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improved installation experience for users.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Configuration and installation of Amahi can be painful for some percentage of users. Many of them do not know much or care for Linux. We want to make the installation as smooth as possible not just for them, but for more even more regular (non-techy) users. Ubuntu has some challenges of its own to make it work without dropping the users to the command line.<br />
* Create a new [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda Anaconda] node for Amahi configuration<br />
* Similarly for Ubuntu<br />
* Make images that enable booting from USB devices "out of the box"<br />
* Detect sub-optimal configurations of disk partitions and provide feedback to the user<br />
* Measure and analyze how users get tripped on installation and create ways to tackle these issues, bringing installation issues down<br />
<br />
<br />
Idea: use [https://github.com/diafygi/webrtc-ips this package ] to help improve installation networking issues.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Python, Linux boot process internals, creating ISO images<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
==Amahi Anywhere==<br />
<br />
The mobile apps use API endpoints provided by Amahi Anywhere for browsing, downloading and streaming files and more.<br />
<br />
'''References''':<br />
* [https://www.amahi.org/apps/amahi-anywhere Amahi Anywhere App]<br />
* [https://github.com/amahi/amahi-anywhere-specs Amahi Anywhere Specs]<br />
<br />
===Improvements in AA File Server===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Amahi Anywhere File Server exposes HDA files and directories via REST APIs and also allows to upload new files<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Following features can be implemented:<br />
<br />
* API to access platform apps over remote via proxy<br />
* Better logging ([https://github.com/amahi/amahi-anywhere-fs/issues/4 Issue #4])<br />
* Simplistic dashboard to view some metrics like number of users connected, access logs for each user, system health etc.<br />
* API to fetch metadata (duration, codec, album art image, title, artist name, album name, year etc.) for audio / video files<br />
* Create and cache low resolution thumbnail for image files for faster loading and enhanced experience<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': GoLang, REST API Understanding<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Chirag<br />
<br />
'''Reference''': [https://github.com/amahi/amahi-anywhere-fs/ Amahi Anywhere FS Github repo]<br />
<br />
===Improvements in External Proxy===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': External proxy provides API endpoints for users to remotely access Amahi Anywhere File Server <br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Following features can be implemented:<br />
<br />
* Cache implementation for chunks of files passing frequently through proxy to speed up response and save bandwidth<br />
* Dashboard to view metrics on both connected mobile and Amahi Anywhere FS clients<br />
* Ability to ban a client<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': GoLang<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Chirag<br />
<br />
=Other Ideas=<br />
<br />
* Add features to our popular mobile apps: Offer to display image-heavy folders and shares within a "gallery" or collection view, add the ability to navigate and stream shares containing music in a streamlined way, Dynamic search, SPDY support, for both remote and local queries, support for accessing HDA web applications within Amahi for iOS, share folders and files from your HDA to other apps or users, support for HDA user permissions (share & web app restrictions, etc.). Mentors available: Carlos<br />
* PHP API: make a native PHP SDK for the Amahi platform, so that PHP apps (we have a lot of them) can more easy be integrated <br />
* Integrate a mail server as an app. Identify any settings or configuration that need to be implemented in the platform<br />
* Router integration, UPNP, direct control<br />
* Port AES (Amahi Energy Server) to the latest Amahi<br />
* Integration of LDAP as a back-end management system, calendaring<br />
* Feature development (examples):<br />
* Calendaring, and integrated contact manager application. Possible options: 1) ownCloud based or 2) Apache carddav<br />
* For the more design-oriented, build mobile theme(s)<br />
* Documentation or screencasts/tutorials<br />
* Use sandboxing and containers to improve app stability, updating and more<br />
* Improve installation and user onboarding (OOBE)<br />
* Better upgrades with backup of apps, settings, etc.<br />
* Create a backup and restore function for the Amahi Server (Idea is to backup the of the setting like the shares, paths and Fixed IP address and Mac Address, remove all the data drives) reinstall the OS or Upgrade and then put the data dives back in and then restore all the setting)<br />
* make the Amahi front end webpage more mobile-friendly<br />
* Add Icon for the install app pages and have more screenshots<br />
* make it easier to run multi servers on one network<br />
* DHCP page a button to add a device to Fixed IP address will be able to change the fix IP address and the Name or just us the default one<br />
* update Button on installed apps this will only work on apps that are updateable, it will run an update script from when the was created, lots of apps nowadays are updated able and would save time uninstalled and reinstalling<br />
* Create a page or tab on Amahi front end to be able to add docker container apps select icon and name and address:port <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Plus, of course we are open to suggestions. Open a dialog. We're happy to discuss and determine a suitable project.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a platform that will support the deployment of other open source applications. If you are interested in the integration of applications in your area of interest, just contact us with suggestions.<br />

* possibly using a new metal layer instead of passenger - especially ones that do not take a long time to reload, could be puma, i also like thin, maybe others<br />
* better initialization ... like a more standard (wordpress-like) initialization wizard (initially there are no users, we need to create an admin user and perhaps ask a few questions and integrate with amahi.org)<br />
* Implement sharing of folders among the friend servers.<br />
<br />

== Android Mobile App==<br />
<br />
Our mobile apps have streaming, browsing and sharing and it's a great topic.<br />
<br />
This year we're going to try emphasizing the Android app a little more.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Android App Improvements===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Amahi android offers the ability to stream your HDA over your Android phone and Android TV, support for Chromecast and auto upload of images to HDA. The next step is to complete the following objectives:<br />
<br />
'''Objectives''':<br />
<br />
* Add support for secondary user login support in the Android app over both Local and Remote connection. <br />
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1jZAdXpSGQRJ6xN2WCzqkiPxQPUW2VHsAnpENZKbT2z0/<br />
* Develop a module which does an Auto backup of the phone to the HDA over Local connection (reference: Helium).<br />
* Implement sharing of folders or shares with other servers.<br />
https://docs.google.com/document/d/14JsH9-aZrE3Z-35Oo38IY1-3Nd5BJiR_G0DshhjKSM4/<br />
* Add support for VPN proxy so that user can access the HDA from the phone over a VPN proxy tunnel.<br />
* Implementing the PlayerAdapter in Android TV to support previews.<br />
* Adding an Expresso based automated UI testing protocol.<br />
* Improving the layouts for both portrait and landscape mode and other UI/UX improvements so that they adhere to the latest material design guidelines from Google.<br />
* Creating a new Theme Amahi Light whose colour scheme adheres to the colour scheme of the Amahi website.<br />
* Store and display the last opened of each file.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Java, Android framework<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Chirag<br />
<br />
'''Reference''': [https://github.com/amahi/android Amahi Android Github repo]<br />
<br />
== Apps==<br />
<br />
Innovative app or app packaging and app-related projects.<br />
<br />
===Improved VPN Security===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improve the security of our OpenVPN and IPSec VPN apps. Examples are allowing users to generate their own certificates, identify weak spots and strengthen them.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': For the example of generating their own certificates, build a wizard to allow users to create and manage their certificates. Another goal would be to provide logging of VPN connections, so that the user can see the activity on their VPN.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': keen sense of security settings, certificates<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Rod, Carlos<br />
<br />
===Caching Server===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': a caching proxy to save on bandwidth<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Develop a plugin that will allow an administrator user to control the traffic for specific devices inside the network. This app (or possibly a plugin) should display all the connected device as well as provide the ability to search by name/MAC address. For a selected device the administrator should:<br />
*Limit access between certain time intervals<br />
*Limit bandwidth<br />
*Block certain websites (either on an individual basis or read them from a file)<br />
*Limit traffic<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': system configuration and scripting<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
===Create UI and package it for RSnapshot===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Make a UI for rsnapshot<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': [http://www.rsnapshot.org/ RSnapshot] is a great application to backup local data, making efficient use of storage as well as CPU resources and can handle a lot of data. A one-click app that includes a UI to set up and manage RSnapshot backups. Also, possibly backup to GDrive, S3, other cloud solutions<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, system programming<br />
<br />
'''Mentor''': Carlos, Rod, Sukhbir<br />
<br />
'''References'''<br />

<br />
==Installer==<br />
<br />
===Improved Installation===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improved installation experience for users.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Configuration and installation of Amahi can be painful for some percentage of users. Many of them do not know much or care for Linux. We want to make the installation as smooth as possible not just for them, but for more even more regular (non-techy) users. Ubuntu has some challenges of its own to make it work without dropping the users to the command line.<br />
* Create a new [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda Anaconda] node for Amahi configuration<br />
* Similarly for Ubuntu<br />
* Make images that enable booting from USB devices "out of the box"<br />
* Detect sub-optimal configurations of disk partitions and provide feedback to the user<br />
* Measure and analyze how users get tripped on installation and create ways to tackle these issues, bringing installation issues down<br />
<br />
<br />
Idea: use [https://github.com/diafygi/webrtc-ips this package ] to help improve installation networking issues.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Python, Linux boot process internals, creating ISO images<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
==Amahi Anywhere==<br />
<br />
The mobile apps use API endpoints provided by Amahi Anywhere for browsing, downloading and streaming files and more.<br />
<br />
'''References''':<br />
* [https://www.amahi.org/apps/amahi-anywhere Amahi Anywhere App]<br />
* [https://github.com/amahi/amahi-anywhere-specs Amahi Anywhere Specs]<br />
<br />
===Improvements in AA File Server===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Amahi Anywhere File Server exposes HDA files and directories via REST APIs and also allows to upload new files<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Following features can be implemented:<br />
<br />
* API to access platform apps over remote via proxy<br />
* Better logging ([https://github.com/amahi/amahi-anywhere-fs/issues/4 Issue #4])<br />
* Simplistic dashboard to view some metrics like number of users connected, access logs for each user, system health etc.<br />
* API to fetch metadata (duration, codec, album art image, title, artist name, album name, year etc.) for audio / video files<br />
* Create and cache low resolution thumbnail for image files for faster loading and enhanced experience<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': GoLang, REST API Understanding<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Chirag<br />
<br />
'''Reference''': [https://github.com/amahi/amahi-anywhere-fs/ Amahi Anywhere FS Github repo]<br />
<br />
===Improvements in External Proxy===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': External proxy provides API endpoints for users to remotely access Amahi Anywhere File Server <br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Following features can be implemented:<br />
<br />
* Cache implementation for chunks of files passing frequently through proxy to speed up response and save bandwidth<br />
* Dashboard to view metrics on both connected mobile and Amahi Anywhere FS clients<br />
* Ability to ban a client<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': GoLang<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Chirag<br />
<br />
=Other Ideas=<br />
<br />
* Add features to our popular mobile apps: Offer to display image-heavy folders and shares within a "gallery" or collection view, add the ability to navigate and stream shares containing music in a streamlined way, Dynamic search, SPDY support, for both remote and local queries, support for accessing HDA web applications within Amahi for iOS, share folders and files from your HDA to other apps or users, support for HDA user permissions (share & web app restrictions, etc.). Mentors available: Carlos<br />
* PHP API: make a native PHP SDK for the Amahi platform, so that PHP apps (we have a lot of them) can more easy be integrated <br />
* Integrate a mail server as an app. Identify any settings or configuration that need to be implemented in the platform<br />
* Router integration, UPNP, direct control<br />
* Port AES (Amahi Energy Server) to the latest Amahi<br />
* Integration of LDAP as a back-end management system, calendaring<br />
* Feature development (examples):<br />
* Calendaring, and integrated contact manager application. Possible options: 1) ownCloud based or 2) Apache carddav<br />
* For the more design-oriented, build mobile theme(s)<br />
* Documentation or screencasts/tutorials<br />
* Use sandboxing and containers to improve app stability, updating and more<br />
* Improve installation and user onboarding (OOBE)<br />
* Better upgrades with backup of apps, settings, etc.<br />
* Create a backup and restore function for the Amahi Server (Idea is to backup the of the setting like the shares, paths and Fixed IP address and Mac Address, remove all the data drives) reinstall the OS or Upgrade and then put the data dives back in and then restore all the setting)<br />
* make the Amahi front end webpage more mobile-friendly<br />
* Add Icon for the install app pages and have more screenshots<br />
* make it easier to run multi servers on one network<br />
* DHCP page a button to add a device to Fixed IP address will be able to change the fix IP address and the Name or just us the default one<br />
* update Button on installed apps this will only work on apps that are updateable, it will run an update script from when the was created, lots of apps nowadays are updated able and would save time uninstalled and reinstalling<br />
* Create a page or tab on Amahi front end to be able to add docker container apps select icon and name and address:port <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Plus, of course we are open to suggestions. Open a dialog. We're happy to discuss and determine a suitable project.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a platform that will support the deployment of other open source applications. If you are interested in the integration of applications in your area of interest, just contact us with suggestions.<br />

== How to Run Netboot ==<br />
<br />
After installing the app, edit to add boot entries:<br />
<br />
vi /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default<br />
<br />
Making bootable images of various OSs is not trivial. It involves precise setup of files in a web server or NFS share or other way to serve files in your network (or in some cases, off the internet).<br />
<br />
== Example Configuration ==<br />
<br />
Suppose that you want to boot a Linux OS over the network, say Fedora 22.<br />
<br />
This is the configuration you need in /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default<br />
<br />
label linux<br />
menu label Install or upgrade Fedora 22<br />
menu default<br />
kernel fedora22/vmlinuz<br />
append initrd=fedora22/initrd.img repo=<nowiki>http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/22/Workstation/x86_64/os</nowiki><br />
<br />
Then you need two files (vmlinuz and initrd.img) inside a directory called fedora22:<br />
<br />
cd /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/<br />
mkdir fedora22<br />
cd fedora22<br />
wget <nowiki>http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/22/Workstation/x86_64/os/isolinux/vmlinuz</nowiki><br />
wget <nowiki>http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/22/Workstation/x86_64/os/isolinux/initrd.img</nowiki><br />
<br />
With that configuration, you should be able to boot Fedora 22 off your network and install from it!<br />
<br />
If course, rather then the repo being remote, you can also install from a local repo. For example, if you can make the one form the CD/DVD available in the file system, or via a local web server (e.g. a simple web app pointing to the repo). The configuration will need to change accordingly. See more examples of [https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/19/html/Installation_Guide/s1-netboot-pxe-config.html PXE Boot Configuration]<br />

= About Amahi=<br />
<br />
We're looking for students with skills in these areas: current technologies like RoR, ruby, python, PHP, as well as next generation technologies, like Go (we use it for streaming to our mobile apps), [https://nodejs.org/ Node.js], [https://github.com/amahi/spdy HTTP/2], javascript frameworks for user interaction, visualization or server services, etc.<br />
<br />
'''We're also looking for hardware projects! Creating a Raspberry Pi-style device with great I/O that can run Amahi smoothly is a long-tem goal for Amahi!'''<br />
<br />
Amahi started of a need to keep a personal/home cloud server, keep all my family's photos, videos, documents, and generally any data. It expanded into running applications, mostly web apps, from anything to doing backups to automatic downloaders, media managers and much more.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a full and proper server made up of<br />
* A Linux system based on a mainline distribution, currently Fedora, but we supported Ubuntu before as well<br />
* An [https://github.com/amahi/hda-ctl installer] to help the user bring bring Amahi up in their system<br />
* A [https://github.com/amahi/platform platform], which is a web app that the user uses to manage their server, add apps<br />
* [https://www.amahi.org/apps Apps] that are installed by using the platform<br />
* Two mobile apps to access data and apps, for [http://www.amahi.org/android Android] and [http://www.amahi.org/ios iOS].<br />
<br />
At Amahi we use git (see our [https://github.com/amahi Github repo]) for our version management and the technologies we have ended up using are Ruby, Ruby on Rails, PHP, Linux system internal technologies like system services, configuration areas, web server virtualhosts, databases, DNS, etc., etc.<br />
<br />
= What to do (and NOT do) first =<br />
<br />
Let's talk about what NOT to do first, because many people automatically start badly by doing these:<br />
* do '''not''' comment randomly in github issues, e.g. introducing yourself in a GH issue, saying you would like to do something, or just "make noise"<br />
* do '''not''' blindly try to build things without understanding what Amahi is and what it does<br />
* do '''not''' just submit a pull request or issue a bug without really knowing what you are up to<br />
* do '''not''' just come to IRC, say something and vanish shortly thereafter. Stay for a while. People come and go. Ask your question and stick around. Get a client that can linger for a while. Sometimes it takes hours for some people to return<br />
<br />
BUT First, Introduce yourself, interact with the community, so please [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScP4Q2iSzLXCjz1gK2eNutO8IhX_PETXU2bL8pqmhe2t1nCqg/viewform?usp=sf_link introduce yourself with this form], so that we know your background and interests.<br />
<br />
If you have questions about Amahi or just want to interact, you can contact us via IRC on [http://talk.amahi.org #amahi on irc.freenode.net] (fairly active) or on the amahi-devel [[mailing list]] (not as active). Don't forget that we are open to suggestions, extensions or adaptations. Feel free to discuss or propose new ideas for projects!<br />
<br />
One of the most important things is to find an area that you '''enjoy''', using a programming environment that you know or that you are willing to learn quickly, so read below or ask questions.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in being a mentor, we have a few great mentors as of today, but we're very welcoming of more ideas and more mentors!<br />
<br />
See the [[#Mentors|mentors]] below. Looking for ideas to mentor, see the [[#Other Ideas|other ideas]] below.<br />
<br />
=List of Project Ideas=<br />
<br />
We have organized the ideas in groups, depending what area of Amahi they belong in. These groups are not in any particular order. For instance if you are a front-end person who knows HTML and Javascript, the GUI/UX may well be the best fit and we'd love to hear from you!<br />
<br />
== Platform ==<br />
<br />
===Plugin Apps ===<br />
<br />
Plugins are "mini apps" that live inside the Amahi platform and thus little interface need to be developed for them. They are familiar and provide easy, focused value to the user. Ideas:<br />
<br />
* Support for automatic issuing/renewal and installation of [https://letsencrypt.org/ Let's Encrypt] certificates in the platform, for external access across the internet<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1361 Share space usage]: Using [http://d3js.org D3.js] (for example) to visualize things internal to the system, like finding out the disk space used by shares, disk usage over time, etc.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1480 Wake-on-LAN (WOL)]: The Amahi [http://www.amahi.org/apps/wake-on-lan-server Wake-On-LAN Server] app currently provides this capability.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1481 Virus Scan Shares]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1489 Netboot Settings/Configuration]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1487 Mail Relay] (i.e. using Gmail or ISP)<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1459 Convert app] [https://www.amahi.org/apps/Amahi-energy-saver Amahi Energy Saver] to a plugin.<br />
* View log files in web browser ([https://github.com/tobi/clarity Clarity using RoR])<br />
* Ability to update default SSL certificates (used by [https://www.amahi.org/apps/openvpn OpenVPN], [https://www.amahi.org/apps/amahi-anywhere Amahi Anywhere], etc).<br />
* AmahiTunes revival<br />
* RAID (SW, MDADM?) support<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1458 SMART Disk] monitoring<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Rod, Carlos<br />
<br />
=== [https://www.amahi.org/apps/disk-wizard Disk Wizard] ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Expanding the storage capacity is an important feature of Amahi. The DW is a critical part. However, it's not as stable as it should be. It should detect more partition types and handle everything gracefully, even when it can't act upon certain configurations.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Stability improvements and especially thoroughly testing this plugin for disk/partition management.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Low level system scripting<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Rod, Carlos<br />
<br />
'''References''':<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/580 Track the disk wizard]<br />
* [[New Disk Wizard]] ideas page<br />
* [http://www.openmediavault.org/ OpenMediaVault] does have a nice wizard that people like<br />
<br />
=== Amahi 12 ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': [[Amahi 12]] is our next release.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Work closely with the core team to define the features and functionality that we need to implement to get Amahi released. This project is about working on RoR and the Amahi platform core. Some of the core technology will need to be upgraded, like Rails 5, latest Phusion Passenger, possibly replace MySQL for the platform, create a native API to the platform that can be used by other apps, like mobile apps. Other ideas include beefing up security and provide support for Amahi hosting on the cloud. Features:<br />
<br />
* fully convert the front-end to bootstrap and make sure we can install bootstrap themes and have a consistent and responsive look and behavior<br />
* make it even more modular and cleaner (at the moment we still have some things that really belong in plugins but still are in controllers/views of the main app)<br />
* possibly using a new metal layer instead of passenger - especially ones that do not take a long time to reload, could be puma, i also like thin, maybe others<br />
* better initialization ... like a more standard (wordpress-like) initialization wizard (initially there are no users, we need to create an admin user and perhaps ask a few questions and integrate with amahi.org)<br />
* Implement sharing of folders among the friend servers.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, ruby, JS, CSS, HTML5, Bootstrap<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />

<br />
==Mobile Apps==<br />
<br />
Our mobile apps have streaming, browsing and sharing and it's a great topic.<br />
<br />
This year we're going to try emphasizing the iOS app a little more. The Android app also has a few areas of improvement.<br />
<br />
=== iOS App Improvements ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Amahi iOS app supports all basic functionalities including browsing files on HDA, streaming audio/video, offline file access but still lacks a lot of features compared to its Android counterpart<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Addition of new features and improvements in pre-existing ones in iOS app in swift to at least match or surpass the Android app<br />
<br />
'''Things to be implemented''': <br />
* Secondary user login<br />
* Chromecast support<br />
* Metadata display<br />
* Continuous music play<br />
* Upload and delete functionality<br />
* Thumbnail previews<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': iOS programming, Swift<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Chirag<br />

<br />
===Android App Improvements===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Amahi android offers the ability to stream your HDA over your Android phone and Android TV, support for Chromecast and auto upload of images to HDA. The next step is to complete the following objectives:<br />
<br />
'''Objectives''':<br />
<br />
* Add support for secondary user login support in the Android app over both Local and Remote connection. <br />
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3goqm-HUlJva1hMblQ1MGJQeUU/view<br />
* Develop a module which does an Auto backup of the phone to the HDA over Local connection (reference: Helium).<br />
* Implement sharing of folders or shares with other servers.<br />
* Add support for VPN proxy so that user can access the HDA from the phone over a VPN proxy tunnel.<br />
* Implementing the PlayerAdapter in Android TV to support previews.<br />
* Adding an Expresso based automated UI testing protocol.<br />
* Improving the layouts for both portrait and landscape mode and other UI/UX improvements so that they adhere to the latest material design guidelines from Google.<br />
* Creating a new Theme Amahi Light whose colour scheme adheres to the colour scheme of the Amahi website.<br />
* Store and display the last opened of each file.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Java, Android framework<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Bogdan, Kumar<br />
<br />
'''Reference''': [https://github.com/amahi/android Amahi Android Github repo]<br />
<br />
== Apps==<br />
<br />
Innovative app or app packaging and app-related projects.<br />
<br />
===Improved VPN Security===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improve the security of our OpenVPN and IPSec VPN apps. Examples are allowing users to generate their own certificates, identify weak spots and strengthen them.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': For the example of generating their own certificates, build a wizard to allow users to create and manage their certificates. Another goal would be to provide logging of VPN connections, so that the user can see the activity on their VPN.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': keen sense of security settings, certificates<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Rod, Carlos<br />
<br />
===Caching Server===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': a caching proxy to save on bandwidth<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Develop a plugin that will allow an administrator user to control the traffic for specific devices inside the network. This app (or possibly a plugin) should display all the connected device as well as provide the ability to search by name/MAC address. For a selected device the administrator should:<br />
*Limit access between certain time intervals<br />
*Limit bandwidth<br />
*Block certain websites (either on an individual basis or read them from a file)<br />
*Limit traffic<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': system configuration and scripting<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
===Create UI and package it for RSnapshot===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Make a UI for rsnapshot<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': [http://www.rsnapshot.org/ RSnapshot] is a great application to backup local data, making efficient use of storage as well as CPU resources and can handle a lot of data. A one-click app that includes a UI to set up and manage RSnapshot backups. Also, possibly backup to GDrive, S3, other cloud solutions<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, system programming<br />
<br />
'''Mentor''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
'''References'''<br />

* [http://dobrev.ws/projects/webrsnapshot Webrsnapshot]<br />
<br />
==Installer==<br />
<br />
===Improved Installation===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improved installation experience for users.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Configuration and installation of Amahi can be painful for some percentage of users. Many of them do not know much or care for Linux. We want to make the installation as smooth as possible not just for them, but for more even more regular (non-techy) users. Ubuntu has some challenges of its own to make it work without dropping the users to the command line.<br />
* Create a new [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda Anaconda] node for Amahi configuration<br />
* Similarly for Ubuntu<br />
* Make images that enable booting from USB devices "out of the box"<br />
* Detect sub-optimal configurations of disk partitions and provide feedback to the user<br />
* Measure and analyze how users get tripped on installation and create ways to tackle these issues, bringing installation issues down<br />
<br />
<br />
Idea: use [https://github.com/diafygi/webrtc-ips this package ] to help improve installation networking issues.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Python, Linux boot process internals, creating ISO images<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
==Amahi Anywhere==<br />
<br />
The mobile apps use API endpoints provided by Amahi Anywhere for browsing, downloading and streaming files and more.<br />
<br />
'''References''':<br />
* [https://www.amahi.org/apps/amahi-anywhere Amahi Anywhere App]<br />
* [https://github.com/amahi/amahi-anywhere-specs Amahi Anywhere Specs]<br />
<br />
===Improvements in AA File Server===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Amahi Anywhere File Server exposes HDA files and directories via REST APIs and also allows to upload new files<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Following features can be implemented:<br />
<br />
* API to access platform apps over remote via proxy<br />
* Better logging ([https://github.com/amahi/amahi-anywhere-fs/issues/4 Issue #4])<br />
* Simplistic dashboard to view some metrics like number of users connected, access logs for each user, system health etc.<br />
* API to fetch metadata (duration, codec, album art image, title, artist name, album name, year etc.) for audio / video files<br />
* Create and cache low resolution thumbnail for image files for faster loading and enhanced experience<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': GoLang, REST API Understanding<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Chirag<br />
<br />
'''Reference''': [https://github.com/amahi/amahi-anywhere-fs/ Amahi Anywhere FS Github repo]<br />
<br />
===Improvements in External Proxy===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': External proxy provides API endpoints for users to remotely access Amahi Anywhere File Server <br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Following features can be implemented:<br />
<br />
* Cache implementation for chunks of files passing frequently through proxy to speed up response and save bandwidth<br />
* Dashboard to view metrics on both connected mobile and Amahi Anywhere FS clients<br />
* Ability to ban a client<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': GoLang<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Chirag<br />
<br />
=Other Ideas=<br />
<br />
* Add features to our popular mobile apps: Offer to display image-heavy folders and shares within a "gallery" or collection view, add the ability to navigate and stream shares containing music in a streamlined way, Dynamic search, SPDY support, for both remote and local queries, support for accessing HDA web applications within Amahi for iOS, share folders and files from your HDA to other apps or users, support for HDA user permissions (share & web app restrictions, etc.). Mentors available: Carlos<br />
* PHP API: make a native PHP SDK for the Amahi platform, so that PHP apps (we have a lot of them) can more easy be integrated <br />
* Integrate a mail server as an app. Identify any settings or configuration that need to be implemented in the platform<br />
* Router integration, UPNP, direct control<br />
* Port AES (Amahi Energy Server) to the latest Amahi<br />
* Integration of LDAP as a back-end management system, calendaring<br />
* Feature development (examples):<br />
* Calendaring, and integrated contact manager application. Possible options: 1) ownCloud based or 2) Apache carddav<br />
* For the more design-oriented, build mobile theme(s)<br />
* Documentation or screencasts/tutorials<br />
* Use sandboxing and containers to improve app stability, updating and more<br />
* Improve installation and user onboarding (OOBE)<br />
* Better upgrades with backup of apps, settings, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
Plus, of course we are open to suggestions. Open a dialog. We're happy to discuss and determine a suitable project.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a platform that will support the deployment of other open source applications. If you are interested in the integration of applications in your area of interest, just contact us with suggestions.<br />

=== [https://www.amahi.org/apps/disk-wizard Disk Wizard] ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Expanding the storage capacity is an important feature of Amahi. The DW is a critical part. However, it's not as stable as it should be. It should detect more partition types and handle everything gracefully, even when it can't act upon certain configurations.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Stability improvements and especially thoroughly testing this plugin for disk/partition management.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Low level system scripting<br />

=== Amahi 12 ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': [[Amahi 12]] is our next release.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Work closely with the core team to define the features and functionality that we need to implement to get Amahi released. This project is about working on RoR and the Amahi platform core. Some of the core technology will need to be upgraded, like Rails 5, latest Phusion Passenger, possibly replace MySQL for the platform, create a native API to the platform that can be used by other apps, like mobile apps. Other ideas include beefing up security and provide support for Amahi hosting on the cloud. Features:<br />
<br />
* fully convert the front-end to bootstrap and make sure we can install bootstrap themes and have a consistent and responsive look and behavior<br />
* make it even more modular and cleaner (at the moment we still have some things that really belong in plugins but still are in controllers/views of the main app)<br />
* possibly using a new metal layer instead of passenger - especially ones that do not take a long time to reload, could be puma, i also like thin, maybe others<br />
* better initialization ... like a more standard (wordpress-like) initialization wizard (initially there are no users, we need to create an admin user and perhaps ask a few questions and integrate with amahi.org)<br />
* Implement sharing of folders among the friend servers.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, ruby, JS, CSS, HTML5, Bootstrap<br />

==Mobile Apps==<br />
<br />
Our mobile apps have streaming, browsing and sharing and it's a great topic.<br />
<br />
This year we're going to try emphasizing the iOS app a little more. The Android app also has a few areas of improvement.<br />
<br />
=== iOS App Improvements ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Amahi iOS app supports all basic functionalities including browsing files on HDA, streaming audio/video, offline file access but still lacks a lot of features compared to its Android counterpart<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Addition of new features and improvements in pre-existing ones in iOS app in swift to at least match or surpass the Android app<br />
<br />
'''Things to be implemented''': <br />
* Secondary user login<br />
* Chromecast support<br />
* Metadata display<br />
* Continuous music play<br />
* Upload and delete functionality<br />
* Thumbnail previews<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': iOS programming, Swift<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Chirag<br />
<br />
'''Reference''': [https://github.com/amahi/ios Amahi iOS app repo]<br />
<br />
===Android App Improvements===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Amahi android offers the ability to stream your HDA over your Android phone and Android TV, support for Chromecast and auto upload of images to HDA. The next step is to complete the following objectives:<br />
<br />
'''Objectives''':<br />
<br />
* Add support for secondary user login support in the Android app over both Local and Remote connection. <br />
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3goqm-HUlJva1hMblQ1MGJQeUU/view<br />
* Develop a module which does an Auto backup of the phone to the HDA over Local connection (reference: Helium).<br />
* Implement sharing of folders or shares with other servers.<br />
* Add support for VPN proxy so that user can access the HDA from the phone over a VPN proxy tunnel.<br />
* Implementing the PlayerAdapter in Android TV to support previews.<br />
* Adding an Expresso based automated UI testing protocol.<br />
* Improving the layouts for both portrait and landscape mode and other UI/UX improvements so that they adhere to the latest material design guidelines from Google.<br />
* Creating a new Theme Amahi Light whose colour scheme adheres to the colour scheme of the Amahi website.<br />
* Store and display the last opened of each file.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Java, Android framework<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Bogdan, Kumar<br />
<br />
'''Reference''': [https://github.com/amahi/android Amahi Android Github repo]<br />
<br />
== Apps==<br />
<br />
Innovative app or app packaging and app-related projects.<br />
<br />
===Improved VPN Security===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improve the security of our OpenVPN and IPSec VPN apps. Examples are allowing users to generate their own certificates, identify weak spots and strengthen them.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': For the example of generating their own certificates, build a wizard to allow users to create and manage their certificates. Another goal would be to provide logging of VPN connections, so that the user can see the activity on their VPN.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': keen sense of security settings, certificates<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Rod, Carlos<br />
<br />
===Caching Server===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': a caching proxy to save on bandwidth<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Develop and plugin that will allow an administrator user to control the traffic for specific devices inside the network. This app (or possibly a plugin) should display all the connected device as well as provide the ability to search by name/MAC address. For a selected device the administrator should:<br />
*Limit access between certain time intervals<br />
*Limit bandwidth<br />
*Block certain websites (either on an individual basis or read them from a file)<br />
*Limit traffic<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': system configuration and scripting<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
===Create UI and package it for RSnapshot===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Make a UI for rsnapshot<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': [http://www.rsnapshot.org/ RSnapshot] is a great application to backup local data, making efficient use of storage as well as CPU resources and can handle a lot of data. A one-click app that includes a UI to set up and manage RSnapshot backups. Also, possibly backup to GDrive, S3, other cloud solutions<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, system programming<br />
<br />
'''Mentor''': Carlos, Rod<br />

==Installer==<br />
<br />
===Improved Installation===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improved installation experience for users.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Configuration and installation of Amahi can be painful for some percentage of users. Many of them do not know much or care for Linux. We want to make the installation as smooth as possible not just for them, but for more even more regular (non-techy) users. Ubuntu has some challenges of its own to make it work without dropping the users to the command line.<br />
* Create a new [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda Anaconda] node for Amahi configuration<br />
* Similarly for Ubuntu<br />
* Make images that enable booting from USB devices "out of the box"<br />
* Detect sub-optimal configurations of disk partitions and provide feedback to the user<br />
* Measure and analyze how users get tripped on installation and create ways to tackle these issues, bringing installation issues down<br />
<br />
<br />
Idea: use [https://github.com/diafygi/webrtc-ips this package ] to help improve installation networking issues.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Python, Linux boot process internals, creating ISO images<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
<br />
== Networking ==<br />
<br />
=Other Ideas=<br />
<br />
* Add features to our popular mobile apps: Offer to display image-heavy folders and shares within a "gallery" or collection view, add the ability to navigate and stream shares containing music in a streamlined way, Dynamic search, SPDY support, for both remote and local queries, support for accessing HDA web applications within Amahi for iOS, share folders and files from your HDA to other apps or users, support for HDA user permissions (share & web app restrictions, etc.). Mentors available: Carlos<br />
* PHP API: make a native PHP SDK for the Amahi platform, so that PHP apps (we have a lot of them) can more easy be integrated <br />
* Integrate a mail server as an app. Identify any settings or configuration that need to be implemented in the platform<br />
* Router integration, UPNP, direct control<br />
* Port AES (Amahi Energy Server) to the latest Amahi<br />
* Integration of LDAP as a back-end management system, calendaring<br />
* Feature development (examples):<br />
* Calendaring, and integrated contact manager application. Possible options: 1) ownCloud based or 2) Apache carddav<br />
* For the more design-oriented, build mobile theme(s)<br />
* Documentation or screencasts/tutorials<br />
* Use sandboxing and containers to improve app stability, updating and more<br />
* Improve installation and user onboarding (OOBE)<br />
* Better upgrades with backup of apps, settings, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
Plus, of course we are open to suggestions. Open a dialog. We're happy to discuss and determine a suitable project.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a platform that will support the deployment of other open source applications. If you are interested in the integration of applications in your area of interest, just contact us with suggestions.<br />

= About Amahi=<br />
<br />
We're looking for students with skills in these areas: current technologies like RoR, ruby, python, PHP, as well as next generation technologies, like Go (we use it for streaming to our mobile apps), [https://nodejs.org/ Node.js], [https://github.com/amahi/spdy HTTP/2], javascript frameworks for user interaction, visualization or server services, etc.<br />
<br />
'''We're also looking for hardware projects! Creating a Raspberry Pi-style device with great I/O that can run Amahi smoothly is a long-tem goal for Amahi!'''<br />
<br />
Amahi started of a need to keep a personal/home cloud server, keep all my family's photos, videos, documents, and generally any data. It expanded into running applications, mostly web apps, from anything to doing backups to automatic downloaders, media managers and much more.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a full and proper server made up of<br />
* A Linux system based on a mainline distribution, currently Fedora, but we supported Ubuntu before as well<br />
* An [https://github.com/amahi/hda-ctl installer] to help the user bring bring Amahi up in their system<br />
* A [https://github.com/amahi/platform platform], which is a web app that the user uses to manage their server, add apps<br />
* [https://www.amahi.org/apps Apps] that are installed by using the platform<br />
* Two mobile apps to access data and apps, for [http://www.amahi.org/android Android] and [http://www.amahi.org/ios iOS].<br />
<br />
At Amahi we use git (see our [https://github.com/amahi Github repo]) for our version management and the technologies we have ended up using are Ruby, Ruby on Rails, PHP, Linux system internal technologies like system services, configuration areas, web server virtualhosts, databases, DNS, etc., etc.<br />
<br />
= What to do (and NOT do) first =<br />
<br />
Let's talk about what NOT to do first, because many people automatically start badly by doing these:<br />
* do '''not''' comment randomly in github issues, e.g. introducing yourself in a GH issue, saying you would like to do something, or just "make noise"<br />
* do '''not''' blindly try to build things without understanding what Amahi is and what it does<br />
* do '''not''' just submit a pull request or issue a bug without really knowing what you are up to<br />
* do '''not''' just come to IRC, say something and vanish shortly thereafter. Stay for a while. People come and go. Ask your question and stick around. Get a client that can linger for a while. Sometimes it takes hours for some people to return<br />
<br />
BUT First, Introduce yourself, interact with the community, so please [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScP4Q2iSzLXCjz1gK2eNutO8IhX_PETXU2bL8pqmhe2t1nCqg/viewform?usp=sf_link introduce yourself with this form], so that we know your background and interests.<br />
<br />
If you have questions about Amahi or just want to interact, you can contact us via IRC on [http://talk.amahi.org #amahi on irc.freenode.net] (fairly active) or on the amahi-devel [[mailing list]] (not as active). Don't forget that we are open to suggestions, extensions or adaptations. Feel free to discuss or propose new ideas for projects!<br />
<br />
One of the most important things is to find an area that you '''enjoy''', using a programming environment that you know or that you are willing to learn quickly, so read below or ask questions.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in being a mentor, we have a few great mentors as of today, but we're very welcoming of more ideas and more mentors!<br />
<br />
See the [[#Mentors|mentors]] below. Looking for ideas to mentor, see the [[#Other Ideas|other ideas]] below.<br />
<br />
=List of Project Ideas=<br />
<br />
We have organized the ideas in groups, depending what area of Amahi they belong in. These groups are not in any particular order. For instance if you are a front-end person who knows HTML and Javascript, the GUI/UX may well be the best fit and we'd love to hear from you!<br />
<br />
== Platform ==<br />
<br />
===Plugin Apps ===<br />
<br />
Plugins are "mini apps" that live inside the Amahi platform and thus little interface need to be developed for them. They are familiar and provide easy, focused value to the user. Ideas:<br />
<br />
* Support for automatic issuance and installation of [https://letsencrypt.org/ Let's Encrypt] certificates in the platform, for internal (LAN) use or external use across the internet<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1361 Share space usage]: Using [http://d3js.org D3.js] (for example) to visualize things internal to the system, like finding out the disk space used by shares, disk usage over time, etc.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1480 Wake-on-LAN (WOL)]: The Amahi [http://www.amahi.org/apps/wake-on-lan-server Wake-On-LAN Server] app currently provides this capability.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1481 Virus Scan Shares]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1489 Netboot Settings/Configuration]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1487 Mail Relay] (i.e. using Gmail or ISP)<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1459 Convert app] [https://www.amahi.org/apps/Amahi-energy-saver Amahi Energy Saver] to a plugin.<br />
* View log files in web browser ([https://github.com/tobi/clarity Clarity using RoR])<br />
* Ability to update default SSL certificates (used by [https://www.amahi.org/apps/openvpn OpenVPN], [https://www.amahi.org/apps/amahi-anywhere Amahi Anywhere], etc).<br />
* AmahiTunes revival<br />
* RAID (SW, MDADM?) support<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1458 SMART Disk] monitoring<br />

= About Amahi=<br />
<br />
We're looking for students with skills in these areas: current technologies like RoR, ruby, python, PHP, as well as next generation technologies, like Go (we use it for streaming to our mobile apps), [https://nodejs.org/ Node.js], [https://github.com/amahi/spdy HTTP/2], javascript frameworks for user interaction, visualization or server services, etc.<br />
<br />
'''We're also looking for hardware projects! Creating a Raspberry Pi-style device with great I/O that can run Amahi smoothly is a long-tem goal for Amahi!'''<br />
<br />
Amahi started of a need to keep a personal/home cloud server, keep all my family's photos, videos, documents, and generally any data. It expanded into running applications, mostly web apps, from anything to doing backups to automatic downloaders, media managers and much more.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a full and proper server made up of<br />
* A Linux system based on a mainline distribution, currently Fedora, but we supported Ubuntu before as well<br />
* An [https://github.com/amahi/hda-ctl installer] to help the user bring bring Amahi up in their system<br />
* A [https://github.com/amahi/platform platform], which is a web app that the user uses to manage their server, add apps<br />
* [https://www.amahi.org/apps Apps] that are installed by using the platform<br />
* Two mobile apps to access data and apps, for [http://www.amahi.org/android Android] and [http://www.amahi.org/ios iOS].<br />
<br />
At Amahi we use git (see our [https://github.com/amahi Github repo]) for our version management and the technologies we have ended up using are Ruby, Ruby on Rails, PHP, Linux system internal technologies like system services, configuration areas, web server virtualhosts, databases, DNS, etc., etc.<br />
<br />
= What to do (and NOT do) first =<br />
<br />
Let's talk about what NOT to do first, because many people automatically start badly by doing these:<br />
* do '''not''' comment randomly in github issues, e.g. introducing yourself in a GH issue, saying you would like to do something, or just "make noise"<br />
* do '''not''' blindly try to build things without understanding what Amahi is and what it does<br />
* do '''not''' just submit a pull request or issue a bug without really knowing what you are up to<br />
* do '''not''' just come to IRC, say something and vanish shortly thereafter. Stay for a while. People come and go. Ask your question and stick around. Get a client that can linger for a while. Sometimes it takes hours for some people to return<br />
<br />
BUT First, Introduce yourself, interact with the community, so please [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScP4Q2iSzLXCjz1gK2eNutO8IhX_PETXU2bL8pqmhe2t1nCqg/viewform?usp=sf_link introduce yourself with this form], so that we know your background and interests.<br />
<br />
If you have questions about Amahi or just want to interact, you can contact us via IRC on [http://talk.amahi.org #amahi on irc.freenode.net] (fairly active) or on the amahi-devel [[mailing list]] (not as active). Don't forget that we are open to suggestions, extensions or adaptations. Feel free to discuss or propose new ideas for projects!<br />
<br />
One of the most important things is to find an area that you '''enjoy''', using a programming environment that you know or that you are willing to learn quickly, so read below or ask questions.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in being a mentor, we have a few great mentors as of today, but we're very welcoming of more ideas and more mentors!<br />
<br />
See the [[#Mentors|mentors]] below. Looking for ideas to mentor, see the [[#Other Ideas|other ideas]] below.<br />
<br />
=List of Project Ideas=<br />
<br />
We have organized the ideas in groups, depending what area of Amahi they belong in. These groups are not in any particular order. For instance if you are a front-end person who knows HTML and Javascript, the GUI/UX may well be the best fit and we'd love to hear from you!<br />
<br />
== Platform ==<br />
<br />
===Plugin Apps ===<br />
<br />
Plugins are "mini apps" that live inside the Amahi platform and thus little interface need to be developed for them. They are familiar and provide easy, focused value to the user. Ideas:<br />
<br />
* Support for automatic issuance and installation of [https://letsencrypt.org/ Let's Encrypt] certificates in the platform, for internal (LAN) use or external use across the internet<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1361 Share space usage]: Using [http://d3js.org D3.js] (for example) to visualize things internal to the system, like finding out the disk space used by shares, disk usage over time, etc.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1480 Wake-on-LAN (WOL)]: The Amahi [http://www.amahi.org/apps/wake-on-lan-server Wake-On-LAN Server] app currently provides this capability.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1481 Virus Scan Shares]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1458 SMART Disk] monitoring<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1489 Netboot Settings/Configuration]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1487 Mail Relay] (i.e. using Gmail or ISP)<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1459 Convert app] [https://www.amahi.org/apps/Amahi-energy-saver Amahi Energy Saver] to a plugin.<br />
* View log files in web browser ([https://github.com/tobi/clarity Clarity using RoR])<br />
* Ability to update default SSL certificates (used by [https://www.amahi.org/apps/openvpn OpenVPN], [https://www.amahi.org/apps/amahi-anywhere Amahi Anywhere], etc).<br />
* AmahiTunes revival/integration<br />
* RAID (SW, MDADM?) support<br />
<br />

=== [https://www.amahi.org/apps/disk-wizard Disk Wizard] ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Expanding the storage capacity is an important feature of Amahi. The DW is a critical part. However, it's not as stable as it should be. It should detect more partition types and handle everything gracefully, even when it can't act upon certain configurations.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Stability improvements and especially thoroughly testing this plugin for disk/partition management.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Low level system scripting<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Rod, Carlos<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Amahi 12 ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': [[Amahi 12]] is our next release.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Work closely with the core team to define the features and functionality that we need to implement to get Amahi released. This project is about working on RoR and the Amahi platform core. Some of the core technology will need to be upgraded, like Rails 5, latest Phusion Passenger, possibly replace MySQL for the platform, create a native API to the platform that can be used by other apps, like mobile apps. Other ideas include beefing up security and provide support for Amahi hosting on the cloud. Features:<br />
<br />
* fully convert the front-end to bootstrap and make sure we can install bootstrap themes and have a consistent and responsive look and behavior<br />
* make it even more modular and cleaner (at the moment we still have some things that really belong in plugins but still are in controllers/views of the main app)<br />
* possibly using a new metal layer instead of passenger - especially ones that do not take a long time to reload, could be puma, i also like thin, maybe others<br />
* better initialization ... like a more standard (wordpress-like) initialization wizard (initially there are no users, we need to create an admin user and perhaps ask a few questions and integrate with amahi.org)<br />
* Implement sharing of folders among the friend servers.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, ruby, JS, CSS, HTML5, Bootstrap<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />

<br />
==Mobile Apps==<br />
<br />
Our mobile apps have streaming, browsing and sharing and it's a great topic.<br />
<br />
This year we're going to try emphasizing the iOS app a little more. The Android app also has a few areas of improvement.<br />
<br />
=== iOS App Improvements ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Amahi iOS app supports all basic functionalities including browsing files on HDA, streaming audio/video, offline file access but still lacks a lot of features compared to its Android counterpart<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Addition of new features and improvements in pre-existing ones in iOS app in swift to at least match or surpass the Android app<br />
<br />
'''Things to be implemented''': <br />
* Secondary user login<br />
* Chromecast support<br />
* Metadata display<br />
* Continuous music play<br />
* Upload and delete functionality<br />
* Thumbnail previews<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': iOS programming, Swift<br />

===Android App Improvements===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Amahi android offers the ability to stream your HDA over your Android phone and Android TV, support for Chromecast and auto upload of images to HDA. The next step is to complete the following objectives:<br />
<br />
'''Objectives''':<br />
<br />
* Add support for secondary user login support in the Android app over both Local and Remote connection. <br />
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3goqm-HUlJva1hMblQ1MGJQeUU/view<br />
* Develop a module which does an Auto backup of the phone to the HDA over Local connection (reference: Helium).<br />
* Implement sharing of folders or shares with other servers.<br />
* Add support for VPN proxy so that user can access the HDA from the phone over a VPN proxy tunnel.<br />
* Implementing the PlayerAdapter in Android TV to support previews.<br />
* Adding an Expresso based automated UI testing protocol.<br />
* Improving the layouts for both portrait and landscape mode and other UI/UX improvements so that they adhere to the latest material design guidelines from Google.<br />
* Creating a new Theme Amahi Light whose colour scheme adheres to the colour scheme of the Amahi website.<br />
* Store and display the last opened of each file.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Java, Android framework<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Bogdan, Kumar<br />
<br />
'''Reference''': [https://github.com/amahi/android Amahi Android Github repo]<br />
<br />
== Apps==<br />
<br />
Innovative app or app packaging and app-related projects.<br />
<br />
===Improved VPN Security===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improve the security of our OpenVPN and IPSec VPN apps. Examples are allowing users to generate their own certificates, identify weak spots and strengthen them.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': For the example of generating their own certificates, build a wizard to allow users to create and manage their certificates. Another goal would be to provide logging of VPN connections, so that the user can see the activity on their VPN.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': keen sense of security settings, certificates<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Rod, Carlos<br />
<br />
===Caching Server===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': a caching proxy to save on bandwidth<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Develop and plugin that will allow an administrator user to control the traffic for specific devices inside the network. This app (or possibly a plugin) should display all the connected device as well as provide the ability to search by name/MAC address. For a selected device the administrator should:<br />
*Limit access between certain time intervals<br />
*Limit bandwidth<br />
*Block certain websites (either on an individual basis or read them from a file)<br />
*Limit traffic<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': system configuration and scripting<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
===Create UI and package it for RSnapshot===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Make a UI for rsnapshot<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': [http://www.rsnapshot.org/ RSnapshot] is a great application to backup local data, making efficient use of storage as well as CPU resources and can handle a lot of data. A one-click app that includes a UI to set up and manage RSnapshot backups. Also, possibly backup to GDrive, S3, other cloud solutions<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, system programming<br />
<br />
'''Mentor''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />

<br />
==Installer==<br />
<br />
===Improved Installation===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improved installation experience for users.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Configuration and installation of Amahi can be painful for some percentage of users. Many of them do not know much or care for Linux. We want to make the installation as smooth as possible not just for them, but for more even more regular (non-techy) users. Ubuntu has some challenges of its own to make it work without dropping the users to the command line.<br />
* Create a new [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda Anaconda] node for Amahi configuration<br />
* Similarly for Ubuntu<br />
* Make images that enable booting from USB devices "out of the box"<br />
* Detect sub-optimal configurations of disk partitions and provide feedback to the user<br />
* Measure and analyze how users get tripped on installation and create ways to tackle these issues, bringing installation issues down<br />
<br />
<br />
Idea: use [https://github.com/diafygi/webrtc-ips this package ] to help improve installation networking issues.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Python, Linux boot process internals, creating ISO images<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
<br />
== Networking ==<br />
<br />
=Other Ideas=<br />
<br />
* Add features to our popular mobile apps: Offer to display image-heavy folders and shares within a "gallery" or collection view, add the ability to navigate and stream shares containing music in a streamlined way, Dynamic search, SPDY support, for both remote and local queries, support for accessing HDA web applications within Amahi for iOS, share folders and files from your HDA to other apps or users, support for HDA user permissions (share & web app restrictions, etc.). Mentors available: Carlos<br />
* PHP API: make a native PHP SDK for the Amahi platform, so that PHP apps (we have a lot of them) can more easy be integrated <br />
* Integrate a mail server as an app. Identify any settings or configuration that need to be implemented in the platform<br />
* Router integration, UPNP, direct control<br />
* Port AES (Amahi Energy Server) to the latest Amahi<br />
* Integration of LDAP as a back-end management system, calendaring<br />
* Feature development (examples):<br />
* Calendaring, and integrated contact manager application. Possible options: 1) ownCloud based or 2) Apache carddav<br />
* For the more design-oriented, build mobile theme(s)<br />
* Documentation or screencasts/tutorials<br />
* Use sandboxing and containers to improve app stability, updating and more<br />
* Improve installation and user onboarding (OOBE)<br />
* Better upgrades with backup of apps, settings, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
Plus, of course we are open to suggestions. Open a dialog. We're happy to discuss and determine a suitable project.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a platform that will support the deployment of other open source applications. If you are interested in the integration of applications in your area of interest, just contact us with suggestions.<br />

'''Objective''': For the example of generating their own certificates, build a wizard to allow users to create and manage their certificates. Another goal would be to provide logging of VPN connections, so that the user can see the activity on their VPN.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': keen sense of security settings, certificates<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Rod, Carlos<br />
<br />
===Caching Server===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': a caching proxy to save on bandwidth<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Develop and plugin that will allow an administrator user to control the traffic for specific devices inside the network. This app (or possibly a plugin) should display all the connected device as well as provide the ability to search by name/MAC address. For a selected device the administrator should:<br />
*Limit access between certain time intervals<br />
*Limit bandwidth<br />
*Block certain websites (either on an individual basis or read them from a file)<br />
*Limit traffic<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': system configuration and scripting<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
===Create UI and package it for RSnapshot===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Make a UI for rsnapshot<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': [http://www.rsnapshot.org/ RSnapshot] is a great application to backup local data, making efficient use of storage as well as CPU resources and can handle a lot of data. A one-click app that includes a UI to set up and manage RSnapshot backups. Also, possibly backup to GDrive, S3, other cloud solutions<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, system programming<br />
<br />
'''Mentor''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />

==Installer==<br />
<br />
===Improved Installation===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improved installation experience for users.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Configuration and installation of Amahi can be painful for some percentage of users. Many of them do not know much or care for Linux. We want to make the installation as smooth as possible not just for them, but for more even more regular (non-techy) users. Ubuntu has some challenges of its own to make it work without dropping the users to the command line.<br />
* Create a new [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda Anaconda] node for Amahi configuration<br />
* Similarly for Ubuntu<br />
* Make images that enable booting from USB devices "out of the box"<br />
* Detect sub-optimal configurations of disk partitions and provide feedback to the user<br />
* Measure and analyze how users get tripped on installation and create ways to tackle these issues, bringing installation issues down<br />
<br />
<br />
Idea: use [https://github.com/diafygi/webrtc-ips this package ] to help improve installation networking issues.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Python, Linux boot process internals, creating ISO images<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
<br />
== Networking ==<br />
<br />
=Other Ideas=<br />
<br />
* Add features to our popular mobile apps: Offer to display image-heavy folders and shares within a "gallery" or collection view, add the ability to navigate and stream shares containing music in a streamlined way, Dynamic search, SPDY support, for both remote and local queries, support for accessing HDA web applications within Amahi for iOS, share folders and files from your HDA to other apps or users, support for HDA user permissions (share & web app restrictions, etc.). Mentors available: Carlos<br />
* PHP API: make a native PHP SDK for the Amahi platform, so that PHP apps (we have a lot of them) can more easy be integrated <br />
* Integrate a mail server as an app. Identify any settings or configuration that need to be implemented in the platform<br />
* Router integration, UPNP, direct control<br />
* Port AES (Amahi Energy Server) to the latest Amahi<br />
* Integration of LDAP as a back-end management system, calendaring<br />
* Feature development (examples):<br />
* Calendaring, and integrated contact manager application. Possible options: 1) ownCloud based or 2) Apache carddav<br />
* For the more design-oriented, build mobile theme(s)<br />
* Documentation or screencasts/tutorials<br />
* Use sandboxing and containers to improve app stability, updating and more<br />
* Improve installation and user onboarding (OOBE)<br />
* Better upgrades with backup of apps, settings, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
Plus, of course we are open to suggestions. Open a dialog. We're happy to discuss and determine a suitable project.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a platform that will support the deployment of other open source applications. If you are interested in the integration of applications in your area of interest, just contact us with suggestions.<br />

= About Amahi=<br />
<br />
We're looking for students with skills in these areas: current technologies like RoR, ruby, python, PHP, as well as next generation technologies, like Go (we use it for streaming to our mobile apps), [https://nodejs.org/ Node.js], [https://github.com/amahi/spdy HTTP/2], javascript frameworks for user interaction, visualization or server services, etc.<br />
<br />
'''We're also looking for hardware projects! Creating a Raspberry Pi-style device with great I/O that can run Amahi smoothly is a long-tem goal for Amahi!'''<br />
<br />
Amahi started of a need to keep a personal/home cloud server, keep all my family's photos, videos, documents, and generally any data. It expanded into running applications, mostly web apps, from anything to doing backups to automatic downloaders, media managers and much more.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a full and proper server made up of<br />
* A Linux system based on a mainline distribution, currently Fedora, but we supported Ubuntu before as well<br />
* An [https://github.com/amahi/hda-ctl installer] to help the user bring bring Amahi up in their system<br />
* A [https://github.com/amahi/platform platform], which is a web app that the user uses to manage their server, add apps<br />
* [https://www.amahi.org/apps Apps] that are installed by using the platform<br />
* Two mobile apps to access data and apps, for [http://www.amahi.org/android Android] and [http://www.amahi.org/ios iOS].<br />
<br />
At Amahi we use git (see our [https://github.com/amahi Github repo]) for our version management and the technologies we have ended up using are Ruby, Ruby on Rails, PHP, Linux system internal technologies like system services, configuration areas, web server virtualhosts, databases, DNS, etc., etc.<br />
<br />
= What to do (and NOT do) first =<br />
<br />
Let's talk about what NOT to do first, because many people automatically start badly by doing these:<br />
* do '''not''' comment randomly in github issues, e.g. introducing yourself in a GH issue, saying you would like to do something, or just "make noise"<br />
* do '''not''' blindly try to build things without understanding what Amahi is and what it does<br />
* do '''not''' just submit a pull request or issue a bug without really knowing what you are up to<br />
* do '''not''' just come to IRC, say something and vanish shortly thereafter. Stay for a while. People come and go. Ask your question and stick around. Get a client that can linger for a while. Sometimes it takes hours for some people to return<br />
<br />
BUT First, Introduce yourself, interact with the community, so please [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScP4Q2iSzLXCjz1gK2eNutO8IhX_PETXU2bL8pqmhe2t1nCqg/viewform?usp=sf_link introduce yourself with this form], so that we know your background and interests.<br />
<br />
If you have questions about Amahi or just want to interact, you can contact us via IRC on [http://talk.amahi.org #amahi on irc.freenode.net] (fairly active) or on the amahi-devel [[mailing list]] (not as active). Don't forget that we are open to suggestions, extensions or adaptations. Feel free to discuss or propose new ideas for projects!<br />
<br />
One of the most important things is to find an area that you '''enjoy''', using a programming environment that you know or that you are willing to learn quickly, so read below or ask questions.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in being a mentor, we have a few great mentors as of today, but we're very welcoming of more ideas and more mentors!<br />
<br />
See the [[#Mentors|mentors]] below. Looking for ideas to mentor, see the [[#Other Ideas|other ideas]] below.<br />
<br />
=List of Project Ideas=<br />
<br />
We have organized the ideas in groups, depending what area of Amahi they belong in. These groups are not in any particular order. For instance if you are a front-end person who knows HTML and Javascript, the GUI/UX may well be the best fit and we'd love to hear from you!<br />
<br />
== Platform ==<br />
<br />
===Plugin Apps ===<br />
<br />
Plugins are "mini apps" that live inside the Amahi platform and thus little interface need to be developed for them. They are familiar and provide easy, focused value to the user. Ideas:<br />
<br />
* Support for automatic issuance and installation of [https://letsencrypt.org/ Let's Encrypt] certificates in the platform, for internal (LAN) use or external use across the internet<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1361 Share space usage]: Using [http://d3js.org D3.js] (for example) to visualize things internal to the system, like finding out the disk space used by shares, disk usage over time, etc.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1480 Wake-on-LAN (WOL)]: The Amahi [http://www.amahi.org/apps/wake-on-lan-server Wake-On-LAN Server] app currently provides this capability.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1481 Virus Scan Shares]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1458 SMART Disk] monitoring<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1489 Netboot Settings/Configuration]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1487 Mail Relay] (i.e. using Gmail or ISP)<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1459 Convert app] [https://www.amahi.org/apps/Amahi-energy-saver Amahi Energy Saver] to a plugin.<br />
* View log files in web browser ([https://github.com/tobi/clarity Clarity using RoR])<br />
* Ability to update default SSL certificates (used by [https://www.amahi.org/apps/openvpn OpenVPN], [https://www.amahi.org/apps/amahi-anywhere Amahi Anywhere], etc).<br />
* AmahiTunes revival/integration<br />
* RAID (SW, MDADM?) support<br />
<br />

=== [https://www.amahi.org/apps/disk-wizard Disk Wizard] ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Expanding the storage capacity is an important feature of Amahi. The DW is a critical part. However, it's not as stable as it should be. It should detect more partition types and handle everything gracefully, even when it can't act upon certain configurations.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Stability improvements and especially thoroughly testing this plugin for disk/partition management.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Low level system scripting<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Rod, Carlos<br />
<br />
'''References''':<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/580 Track the disk wizard]<br />

<br />
=== Amahi 12 ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': [[Amahi 12]] is our next release.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Work closely with the core team to define the features and functionality that we need to implement to get Amahi released. This project is about working on RoR and the Amahi platform core. Some of the core technology will need to be upgraded, like Rails 5, latest Phusion Passenger, possibly replace MySQL for the platform, create a native API to the platform that can be used by other apps, like mobile apps. Other ideas include beefing up security and provide support for Amahi hosting on the cloud. Features:<br />
<br />
* fully convert the front-end to bootstrap and make sure we can install bootstrap themes and have a consistent and responsive look and behavior<br />
* make it even more modular and cleaner (at the moment we still have some things that really belong in plugins but still are in controllers/views of the main app)<br />
* possibly using a new metal layer instead of passenger - especially ones that do not take a long time to reload, could be puma, i also like thin, maybe others<br />
* better initialization ... like a more standard (wordpress-like) initialization wizard (initially there are no users, we need to create an admin user and perhaps ask a few questions and integrate with amahi.org)<br />
* Implement sharing of folders among the friend servers.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, ruby, JS, CSS, HTML5, Bootstrap<br />

We have organized the ideas in groups, depending what area of Amahi they belong in. These groups are not in any particular order. For instance if you are a front-end person who knows HTML and Javascript, the GUI/UX may well be the best fit and we'd love to hear from you!<br />
<br />
== Platform ==<br />
<br />
===Plugin Apps ===<br />
<br />
Plugins are "mini apps" that live inside the Amahi platform and thus little interface need to be developed for them. They are familiar and provide easy, focused value to the user. Ideas:<br />
<br />
* Support for automatic issuance and installation of [https://letsencrypt.org/ Let's Encrypt] certificates in the platform, for internal (LAN) use or external use across the internet<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1361 Share space usage]: Using [http://d3js.org D3.js] (for example) to visualize things internal to the system, like finding out the disk space used by shares, disk usage over time, etc.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1480 Wake-on-LAN (WOL)]: The Amahi [http://www.amahi.org/apps/wake-on-lan-server Wake-On-LAN Server] app currently provides this capability.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1481 Virus Scan Shares]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1458 SMART Disk] monitoring<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1489 Netboot Settings/Configuration]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1487 Mail Relay] (i.e. using Gmail or ISP)<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1459 Convert app] [https://www.amahi.org/apps/Amahi-energy-saver Amahi Energy Saver] to a plugin.<br />
* View log files in web browser ([https://github.com/tobi/clarity Clarity using RoR])<br />
* Ability to update default SSL certificates (used by [https://www.amahi.org/apps/openvpn OpenVPN], [https://www.amahi.org/apps/amahi-anywhere Amahi Anywhere], etc).<br />
* AmahiTunes revival/integration<br />
* RAID (SW, MDADM?) support<br />

=== [https://www.amahi.org/apps/disk-wizard Disk Wizard] ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Expanding the storage capacity is an important feature of Amahi. The DW is a critical part. However, it's not as stable as it should be. It should detect more partition types and handle everything gracefully, even when it can't act upon certain configurations.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Stability improvements and especially thoroughly testing this plugin for disk/partition management.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Low level system scripting<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Amahi 12 ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': [[Amahi 12]] is our next release.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Work closely with the core team to define the features and functionality that we need to implement to get Amahi released. This project is about working on RoR and the Amahi platform core. Some of the core technology will need to be upgraded, like Rails 5, latest Phusion Passenger, possibly replace MySQL for the platform, create a native API to the platform that can be used by other apps, like mobile apps. Other ideas include beefing up security and provide support for Amahi hosting on the cloud. Features:<br />
<br />
* fully convert the front-end to bootstrap and make sure we can install bootstrap themes and have a consistent and responsive look and behavior<br />
* make it even more modular and cleaner (at the moment we still have some things that really belong in plugins but still are in controllers/views of the main app)<br />
* possibly using a new metal layer instead of passenger - especially ones that do not take a long time to reload, could be puma, i also like thin, maybe others<br />
* better initialization ... like a more standard (wordpress-like) initialization wizard (initially there are no users, we need to create an admin user and perhaps ask a few questions and integrate with amahi.org)<br />
* Implement sharing of folders among the friend servers.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, ruby, JS, CSS, HTML5, Bootstrap<br />

<br />
'''Description''': Amahi android offers the ability to stream your HDA over your Android phone and Android TV, support for Chromecast and auto upload of images to HDA. The next step is to complete the following objectives:<br />
<br />
'''Objectives''':<br />
<br />
* Add support for secondary user login support in the Android app over both Local and Remote connection. <br />
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3goqm-HUlJva1hMblQ1MGJQeUU/view<br />
* Develop a module which does an Auto backup of the phone to the HDA over Local connection (reference: Helium).<br />
* Implement sharing of folders or shares with other servers.<br />
* Add support for VPN proxy so that user can access the HDA from the phone over a VPN proxy tunnel.<br />
* Implementing the PlayerAdapter in Android TV to support previews.<br />
* Adding an Expresso based automated UI testing protocol.<br />
* Improving the layouts for both portrait and landscape mode and other UI/UX improvements so that they adhere to the latest material design guidelines from Google.<br />
* Creating a new Theme Amahi Light whose colour scheme adheres to the colour scheme of the Amahi website.<br />
* Store and display the last opened of each file.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Java, Android framework<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Bogdan, Kumar<br />

'''Reference''': [https://github.com/amahi/android Amahi Android Github repo]<br />
<br />
== Apps==<br />
<br />
Innovative app or app packaging and app-related projects.<br />
<br />
===Improved VPN Security===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improve the security of our OpenVPN and IPSec VPN apps. Examples are allowing users to generate their own certificates, identify weak spots and strengthen them.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': For the example of generating their own certificates, build a wizard to allow users to create and manage their certificates. Another goal would be to provide logging of VPN connections, so that the user can see the activity on their VPN.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': keen sense of security settings, certificates<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Rod, Carlos<br />
<br />
===Caching Server===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': a caching proxy to save on bandwidth<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Develop and plugin that will allow an administrator user to control the traffic for specific devices inside the network. This app (or possibly a plugin) should display all the connected device as well as provide the ability to search by name/MAC address. For a selected device the administrator should:<br />
*Limit access between certain time intervals<br />
*Limit bandwidth<br />
*Block certain websites (either on an individual basis or read them from a file)<br />
*Limit traffic<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': system configuration and scripting<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
===Create UI and package it for RSnapshot===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Make a UI for rsnapshot<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': [http://www.rsnapshot.org/ RSnapshot] is a great application to backup local data, making efficient use of storage as well as CPU resources and can handle a lot of data. A one-click app that includes a UI to set up and manage RSnapshot backups. Also, possibly backup to GDrive, S3, other cloud solutions<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, system programming<br />
<br />

==Installer==<br />
<br />
===Improved Installation===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improved installation experience for users.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Configuration and installation of Amahi can be painful for some percentage of users. Many of them do not know much or care for Linux. We want to make the installation as smooth as possible not just for them, but for more even more regular (non-techy) users. Ubuntu has some challenges of its own to make it work without dropping the users to the command line.<br />
* Create a new [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda Anaconda] node for Amahi configuration<br />
* Similarly for Ubuntu<br />
* Make images that enable booting from USB devices "out of the box"<br />
* Detect sub-optimal configurations of disk partitions and provide feedback to the user<br />
* Measure and analyze how users get tripped on installation and create ways to tackle these issues, bringing installation issues down<br />
<br />
<br />
Idea: use [https://github.com/diafygi/webrtc-ips this package ] to help improve installation networking issues.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Python, Linux boot process internals, creating ISO images<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
<br />
== Networking ==<br />
<br />
=Other Ideas=<br />
<br />
* Add features to our popular mobile apps: Offer to display image-heavy folders and shares within a "gallery" or collection view, add the ability to navigate and stream shares containing music in a streamlined way, Dynamic search, SPDY support, for both remote and local queries, support for accessing HDA web applications within Amahi for iOS, share folders and files from your HDA to other apps or users, support for HDA user permissions (share & web app restrictions, etc.). Mentors available: Carlos<br />
* PHP API: make a native PHP SDK for the Amahi platform, so that PHP apps (we have a lot of them) can more easy be integrated <br />
* Integrate a mail server as an app. Identify any settings or configuration that need to be implemented in the platform<br />
* Router integration, UPNP, direct control<br />
* Port AES (Amahi Energy Server) to the latest Amahi<br />
* Integration of LDAP as a back-end management system, calendaring<br />
* Feature development (examples):<br />
* Calendaring, and integrated contact manager application. Possible options: 1) ownCloud based or 2) Apache carddav<br />
* For the more design-oriented, build mobile theme(s)<br />
* Documentation or screencasts/tutorials<br />
* Use sandboxing and containers to improve app stability, updating and more<br />
* Improve installation and user onboarding (OOBE)<br />
* Better upgrades with backup of apps, settings, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
Plus, of course we are open to suggestions. Open a dialog. We're happy to discuss and determine a suitable project.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a platform that will support the deployment of other open source applications. If you are interested in the integration of applications in your area of interest, just contact us with suggestions.<br />

= About Amahi=<br />
<br />
We're looking for students with skills in these areas: current technologies like RoR, ruby, python, PHP, as well as next generation technologies, like Go (we use it for streaming to our mobile apps), [https://nodejs.org/ Node.js], [https://github.com/amahi/spdy HTTP/2], javascript frameworks for user interaction, visualization or server services, etc.<br />
<br />
'''We're also looking for hardware projects! Creating a Raspberry Pi-style device with great I/O that can run Amahi smoothly is a long-tem goal for Amahi!'''<br />
<br />
Amahi started of a need to keep a personal/home cloud server, keep all my family's photos, videos, documents, and generally any data. It expanded into running applications, mostly web apps, from anything to doing backups to automatic downloaders, media managers and much more.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a full and proper server made up of<br />
* A Linux system based on a mainline distribution, currently Fedora, but we supported Ubuntu before as well<br />
* An [https://github.com/amahi/hda-ctl installer] to help the user bring bring Amahi up in their system<br />
* A [https://github.com/amahi/platform platform], which is a web app that the user uses to manage their server, add apps<br />
* [https://www.amahi.org/apps Apps] that are installed by using the platform<br />
* Two mobile apps to access data and apps, for [http://www.amahi.org/android Android] and [http://www.amahi.org/ios iOS].<br />
<br />
At Amahi we use git (see our [https://github.com/amahi Github repo]) for our version management and the technologies we have ended up using are Ruby, Ruby on Rails, PHP, Linux system internal technologies like system services, configuration areas, web server virtualhosts, databases, DNS, etc., etc.<br />
<br />
= What to do (and NOT do) first =<br />
<br />
Let's talk about what NOT to do first, because many people automatically start badly by doing these:<br />
* do '''not''' comment randomly in github issues, e.g. introducing yourself in a GH issue, saying you would like to do something, or just "make noise"<br />
* do '''not''' blindly try to build things without understanding what Amahi is and what it does<br />
* do '''not''' just submit a pull request or issue a bug without really knowing what you are up to<br />
* do '''not''' just come to IRC, say something and vanish shortly thereafter. Stay for a while. People come and go. Ask your question and stick around. Get a client that can linger for a while. Sometimes it takes hours for some people to return<br />
<br />
BUT First, Introduce yourself, interact with the community, so please [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScP4Q2iSzLXCjz1gK2eNutO8IhX_PETXU2bL8pqmhe2t1nCqg/viewform?usp=sf_link introduce yourself with this form], so that we know your background and interests.<br />
<br />
If you have questions about Amahi or just want to interact, you can contact us via IRC on [http://talk.amahi.org #amahi on irc.freenode.net] (fairly active) or on the amahi-devel [[mailing list]] (not as active). Don't forget that we are open to suggestions, extensions or adaptations. Feel free to discuss or propose new ideas for projects!<br />
<br />
One of the most important things is to find an area that you '''enjoy''', using a programming environment that you know or that you are willing to learn quickly, so read below or ask questions.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in being a mentor, we have a few great mentors as of today, but we're very welcoming of more ideas and more mentors!<br />
<br />
See the [[#Mentors|mentors]] below. Looking for ideas to mentor, see the [[#Other Ideas|other ideas]] below.<br />

= About Amahi=<br />
<br />
We're looking for students with skills in these areas: current technologies like RoR, ruby, python, PHP, as well as next generation technologies, like Go (we use it for streaming to our mobile apps), [https://nodejs.org/ Node.js], [https://github.com/amahi/spdy HTTP/2], javascript frameworks for user interaction, visualization or server services, etc.<br />
<br />
'''We're also looking for hardware projects! Creating a Raspberry Pi-style device with great I/O that can run Amahi smoothly is a long-tem goal for Amahi!'''<br />
<br />
Amahi started of a need to keep a personal/home cloud server, keep all my family's photos, videos, documents, and generally any data. It expanded into running applications, mostly web apps, from anything to doing backups to automatic downloaders, media managers and much more.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a full and proper server made up of<br />
* A Linux system based on a mainline distribution, currently Fedora, but we supported Ubuntu before as well<br />
* An [https://github.com/amahi/hda-ctl installer] to help the user bring bring Amahi up in their system<br />
* A [https://github.com/amahi/platform platform], which is a web app that the user uses to manage their server, add apps<br />
* [https://www.amahi.org/apps Apps] that are installed by using the platform<br />
* Two mobile apps to access data and apps, for [http://www.amahi.org/android Android] and [http://www.amahi.org/ios iOS].<br />
<br />
At Amahi we use git (see our [https://github.com/amahi Github repo]) for our version management and the technologies we have ended up using are Ruby, Ruby on Rails, PHP, Linux system internal technologies like system services, configuration areas, web server virtualhosts, databases, DNS, etc., etc.<br />
<br />
= What to do (and NOT do) first =<br />
<br />
Let's talk about what NOT to do first, because many people automatically start badly by doing these:<br />
* do '''not''' comment randomly in github issues, e.g. introducing yourself in a GH issue, saying you would like to do something, or just "make noise"<br />
* do '''not''' blindly try to build things without understanding what Amahi is and what it does<br />
* do '''not''' just submit a pull request or issue a bug without really knowing what you are up to<br />
* do '''not''' just come to IRC, say something and vanish shortly thereafter. Stay for a while. People come and go. Ask your question and stick around. Get a client that can linger for a while. Sometimes it takes hours for some people to return<br />
<br />
BUT First, Introduce yourself, interact with the community, so please [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScP4Q2iSzLXCjz1gK2eNutO8IhX_PETXU2bL8pqmhe2t1nCqg/viewform?usp=sf_link introduce yourself with this form], so that we know your background and interests.<br />
<br />
If you have questions about Amahi or just want to interact, you can contact us via IRC on [http://talk.amahi.org #amahi on irc.freenode.net] (fairly active) or on the amahi-devel [[mailing list]] (not as active). Don't forget that we are open to suggestions, extensions or adaptations. Feel free to discuss or propose new ideas for projects!<br />
<br />
One of the most important things is to find an area that you '''enjoy''', using a programming environment that you know or that you are willing to learn quickly, so read below or ask questions.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in being a mentor, we have a few great mentors as of today, but we're very welcoming of more ideas and more mentors!<br />
<br />
See the [[#Mentors|mentors]] below. Looking for ideas to mentor, see the [[#Other Ideas|other ideas]] below.<br />
<br />
=List of Project Ideas=<br />
<br />
We have organized the ideas in groups, depending what area of Amahi they belong in. These groups are not in any particular order. For instance if you are a front-end person who knows HTML and Javascript, the GUI/UX may well be the best fit and we'd love to hear from you!<br />
<br />
== Platform ==<br />
<br />
===Plugin Apps ===<br />
<br />
Plugins are "mini apps" that live inside the Amahi platform and thus little interface need to be developed for them. They are familiar and provide easy, focused value to the user. Ideas:<br />
<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1361 Share space usage]: Using [http://d3js.org D3.js] (for example) to visualize things internal to the system, like finding out the disk space used by shares, disk usage over time, etc.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1480 Wake-on-LAN (WOL)]: The Amahi [http://www.amahi.org/apps/wake-on-lan-server Wake-On-LAN Server] app currently provides this capability.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1481 Virus Scan Shares]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1458 SMART Disk] monitoring<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1489 Netboot Settings/Configuration]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1487 Mail Relay] (i.e. using Gmail or ISP)<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1459 Convert app] [https://www.amahi.org/apps/Amahi-energy-saver Amahi Energy Saver] to a plugin.<br />
* View log files in web browser ([https://github.com/tobi/clarity Clarity using RoR])<br />
* Ability to update default SSL certificates (used by [https://www.amahi.org/apps/openvpn OpenVPN], [https://www.amahi.org/apps/amahi-anywhere Amahi Anywhere], etc).<br />
* AmahiTunes revival/integration<br />
* RAID (SW, MDADM?) support<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Rod, Carlos<br />
<br />
=== [https://www.amahi.org/apps/disk-wizard Disk Wizard] ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Expanding the storage capacity is an important feature of Amahi. The DW is a critical part. However, it's not as stable as it should be. It should detect more partition types and handle everything gracefully, even when it can't act upon certain configurations.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Stability improvements and especially thoroughly testing this plugin for disk/partition management.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Low level system scripting<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Rod, Carlos<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Amahi 12 ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': [[Amahi 12]] is our next release.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Work closely with the core team to define the features and functionality that we need to implement to get Amahi released. This project is about working on RoR and the Amahi platform core. Some of the core technology will need to be upgraded, like Rails 5, latest Phusion Passenger, possibly replace MySQL for the platform, create a native API to the platform that can be used by other apps, like mobile apps. Other ideas include beefing up security and provide support for Amahi hosting on the cloud. Features:<br />
<br />
* fully convert the front-end to bootstrap and make sure we can install bootstrap themes and have a consistent and responsive look and behavior<br />
* make it even more modular and cleaner (at the moment we still have some things that really belong in plugins but still are in controllers/views of the main app)<br />
* possibly using a new metal layer instead of passenger - especially ones that do not take a long time to reload, could be puma, i also like thin, maybe others<br />
* better initialization ... like a more standard (wordpress-like) initialization wizard (initially there are no users, we need to create an admin user and perhaps ask a few questions and integrate with amahi.org)<br />
* Implement sharing of folders among the friend servers.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, ruby, JS, CSS, HTML5, Bootstrap<br />

<br />
'''Objectives''':<br />
<br />
* Add support for secondary user login support in the Android app over both Local and Remote connection. <br />
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3goqm-HUlJva1hMblQ1MGJQeUU/view<br />
* Develop a module which does an Auto backup of the phone to the HDA over Local connection (reference: Helium).<br />
* Implement sharing of folders or shares with other servers.<br />
* Add support for VPN proxy so that user can access the HDA from the phone over a VPN proxy tunnel.<br />
* Implementing the PlayerAdapter in Android TV to support previews.<br />
* Adding an Expresso based automated UI testing protocol.<br />
* Improving the layouts for both portrait and landscape mode and other UI/UX improvements so that they adhere to the latest material design guidelines from Google.<br />
* Creating a new Theme Amahi Light whose colour scheme adheres to the colour scheme of the Amahi website.<br />

<br />
Innovative app or app packaging and app-related projects.<br />
<br />
===Improved VPN Security===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improve the security of our OpenVPN and IPSec VPN apps. Examples are allowing users to generate their own certificates, identify weak spots and strengthen them.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': For the example of generating their own certificates, build a wizard to allow users to create and manage their certificates. Another goal would be to provide logging of VPN connections, so that the user can see the activity on their VPN.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': keen sense of security settings, certificates<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Rod, Carlos<br />
<br />
===Caching Server===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': a caching proxy to save on bandwidth<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Develop and plugin that will allow an administrator user to control the traffic for specific devices inside the network. This app (or possibly a plugin) should display all the connected device as well as provide the ability to search by name/MAC address. For a selected device the administrator should:<br />
*Limit access between certain time intervals<br />
*Limit bandwidth<br />
*Block certain websites (either on an individual basis or read them from a file)<br />
*Limit traffic<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': system configuration and scripting<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
===Create UI and package it for RSnapshot===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Make a UI for rsnapshot<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': [http://www.rsnapshot.org/ RSnapshot] is a great application to backup local data, making efficient use of storage as well as CPU resources and can handle a lot of data. A one-click app that includes a UI to set up and manage RSnapshot backups. Also, possibly backup to GDrive, S3, other cloud solutions<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, system programming<br />

<br />
==Installer==<br />
<br />
===Improved Installation===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improved installation experience for users.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Configuration and installation of Amahi can be painful for some percentage of users. Many of them do not know much or care for Linux. We want to make the installation as smooth as possible not just for them, but for more even more regular (non-techy) users. Ubuntu has some challenges of its own to make it work without dropping the users to the command line.<br />
* Create a new [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda Anaconda] node for Amahi configuration<br />
* Similarly for Ubuntu<br />
* Make images that enable booting from USB devices "out of the box"<br />
* Detect sub-optimal configurations of disk partitions and provide feedback to the user<br />
* Measure and analyze how users get tripped on installation and create ways to tackle these issues, bringing installation issues down<br />
<br />
<br />
Idea: use [https://github.com/diafygi/webrtc-ips this package ] to help improve installation networking issues.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Python, Linux boot process internals, creating ISO images<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
<br />
== Networking ==<br />
<br />
=Other Ideas=<br />
<br />
* Add features to our popular mobile apps: Offer to display image-heavy folders and shares within a "gallery" or collection view, add the ability to navigate and stream shares containing music in a streamlined way, Dynamic search, SPDY support, for both remote and local queries, support for accessing HDA web applications within Amahi for iOS, share folders and files from your HDA to other apps or users, support for HDA user permissions (share & web app restrictions, etc.). Mentors available: Carlos<br />
* PHP API: make a native PHP SDK for the Amahi platform, so that PHP apps (we have a lot of them) can more easy be integrated <br />
* Integrate a mail server as an app. Identify any settings or configuration that need to be implemented in the platform<br />
* Router integration, UPNP, direct control<br />
* Port AES (Amahi Energy Server) to the latest Amahi<br />
* Integration of LDAP as a back-end management system, calendaring<br />
* Feature development (examples):<br />
* Calendaring, and integrated contact manager application. Possible options: 1) ownCloud based or 2) Apache carddav<br />
* For the more design-oriented, build mobile theme(s)<br />
* Documentation or screencasts/tutorials<br />
* Use sandboxing and containers to improve app stability, updating and more<br />
* Improve installation and user onboarding (OOBE)<br />
* Better upgrades with backup of apps, settings, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
Plus, of course we are open to suggestions. Open a dialog. We're happy to discuss and determine a suitable project.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Bogdan, Kumar<br />
<br />
'''Reference''': [https://github.com/amahi/android Amahi Android Github repo]<br />
<br />
== Apps==<br />
<br />
Innovative app or app packaging and app-related projects.<br />
<br />
===Improved VPN Security===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improve the security of our OpenVPN and IPSec VPN apps. Examples are allowing users to generate their own certificates, identify weak spots and strengthen them.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': For the example of generating their own certificates, build a wizard to allow users to create and manage their certificates. Another goal would be to provide logging of VPN connections, so that the user can see the activity on their VPN.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': keen sense of security settings, certificates<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Rod, Carlos<br />
<br />
===Caching Server===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': a caching proxy to save on bandwidth<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Develop and plugin that will allow an administrator user to control the traffic for specific devices inside the network. This app (or possibly a plugin) should display all the connected device as well as provide the ability to search by name/MAC address. For a selected device the administrator should:<br />
*Limit access between certain time intervals<br />
*Limit bandwidth<br />
*Block certain websites (either on an individual basis or read them from a file)<br />
*Limit traffic<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': system configuration and scripting<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
===Create UI and package it for RSnapshot===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Make a UI for rsnapshot<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': [http://www.rsnapshot.org/ RSnapshot] is a great application to backup local data, making efficient use of storage as well as CPU resources and can handle a lot of data. A one-click app that includes a UI to set up and manage RSnapshot backups. Also, possibly backup to GDrive, S3, other cloud solutions<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, system programming<br />
<br />
'''Mentor''': Carlos, Rod<br />

==Installer==<br />
<br />
===Improved Installation===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improved installation experience for users.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Configuration and installation of Amahi can be painful for some percentage of users. Many of them do not know much or care for Linux. We want to make the installation as smooth as possible not just for them, but for more even more regular (non-techy) users. Ubuntu has some challenges of its own to make it work without dropping the users to the command line.<br />
* Create a new [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda Anaconda] node for Amahi configuration<br />
* Similarly for Ubuntu<br />
* Make images that enable booting from USB devices "out of the box"<br />
* Detect sub-optimal configurations of disk partitions and provide feedback to the user<br />
* Measure and analyze how users get tripped on installation and create ways to tackle these issues, bringing installation issues down<br />
<br />
<br />
Idea: use [https://github.com/diafygi/webrtc-ips this package ] to help improve installation networking issues.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Python, Linux boot process internals, creating ISO images<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
<br />
== Networking ==<br />
<br />
=Other Ideas=<br />
<br />
* Add features to our popular mobile apps: Offer to display image-heavy folders and shares within a "gallery" or collection view, add the ability to navigate and stream shares containing music in a streamlined way, Dynamic search, SPDY support, for both remote and local queries, support for accessing HDA web applications within Amahi for iOS, share folders and files from your HDA to other apps or users, support for HDA user permissions (share & web app restrictions, etc.). Mentors available: Carlos<br />
* PHP API: make a native PHP SDK for the Amahi platform, so that PHP apps (we have a lot of them) can more easy be integrated <br />
* Integrate a mail server as an app. Identify any settings or configuration that need to be implemented in the platform<br />
* Router integration, UPNP, direct control<br />
* Port AES (Amahi Energy Server) to the latest Amahi<br />
* Integration of LDAP as a back-end management system, calendaring<br />
* Feature development (examples):<br />
* Calendaring, and integrated contact manager application. Possible options: 1) ownCloud based or 2) Apache carddav<br />
* For the more design-oriented, build mobile theme(s)<br />
* Documentation or screencasts/tutorials<br />
* Use sandboxing and containers to improve app stability, updating and more<br />
* Improve installation and user onboarding (OOBE)<br />
* Better upgrades with backup of apps, settings, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
Plus, of course we are open to suggestions. Open a dialog. We're happy to discuss and determine a suitable project.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a platform that will support the deployment of other open source applications. If you are interested in the integration of applications in your area of interest, just contact us with suggestions.<br />

= About Amahi=<br />
<br />
We're looking for students with skills in these areas: current technologies like RoR, ruby, python, PHP, as well as next generation technologies, like Go (we use it for streaming to our mobile apps), [https://nodejs.org/ Node.js], [https://github.com/amahi/spdy HTTP/2], javascript frameworks for user interaction, visualization or server services, etc.<br />
<br />
'''We're also looking for hardware projects! Creating a Raspberry Pi-style device with great I/O that can run Amahi smoothly is a long-tem goal for Amahi!'''<br />
<br />
Amahi started of a need to keep a personal/home cloud server, keep all my family's photos, videos, documents, and generally any data. It expanded into running applications, mostly web apps, from anything to doing backups to automatic downloaders, media managers and much more.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a full and proper server made up of<br />
* A Linux system based on a mainline distribution, currently Fedora, but we supported Ubuntu before as well<br />
* An [https://github.com/amahi/hda-ctl installer] to help the user bring bring Amahi up in their system<br />
* A [https://github.com/amahi/platform platform], which is a web app that the user uses to manage their server, add apps<br />
* [https://www.amahi.org/apps Apps] that are installed by using the platform<br />
* Two mobile apps to access data and apps, for [http://www.amahi.org/android Android] and [http://www.amahi.org/ios iOS].<br />
<br />
At Amahi we use git (see our [https://github.com/amahi Github repo]) for our version management and the technologies we have ended up using are Ruby, Ruby on Rails, PHP, Linux system internal technologies like system services, configuration areas, web server virtualhosts, databases, DNS, etc., etc.<br />
<br />
= What to do (and NOT do) first =<br />
<br />
Let's talk about what NOT to do first, because many people automatically start badly by doing these:<br />
* do '''not''' comment randomly in github issues, e.g. introducing yourself in a GH issue, saying you would like to do something, or just "make noise"<br />
* do '''not''' blindly try to build things without understanding what Amahi is and what it does<br />
* do '''not''' just submit a pull request or issue a bug without really knowing what you are up to<br />
* do '''not''' just come to IRC, say something and vanish shortly thereafter. Stay for a while. People come and go. Ask your question and stick around. Get a client that can linger for a while. Sometimes it takes hours for some people to return<br />
<br />
BUT First, Introduce yourself, interact with the community, so please [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScP4Q2iSzLXCjz1gK2eNutO8IhX_PETXU2bL8pqmhe2t1nCqg/viewform?usp=sf_link introduce yourself with this form], so that we know your background and interests.<br />
<br />
If you have questions about Amahi or just want to interact, you can contact us via IRC on [http://talk.amahi.org #amahi on irc.freenode.net] (fairly active) or on the amahi-devel [[mailing list]] (not as active). Don't forget that we are open to suggestions, extensions or adaptations. Feel free to discuss or propose new ideas for projects!<br />
<br />
One of the most important things is to find an area that you '''enjoy''', using a programming environment that you know or that you are willing to learn quickly, so read below or ask questions.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in being a mentor, we have a few great mentors as of today, but we're very welcoming of more ideas and more mentors!<br />
<br />
See the [[#Mentors|mentors]] below. Looking for ideas to mentor, see the [[#Other Ideas|other ideas]] below.<br />
<br />
=List of Project Ideas=<br />
<br />
We have organized the ideas in groups, depending what area of Amahi they belong in. These groups are not in any particular order. For instance if you are a front-end person who knows HTML and Javascript, the GUI/UX may well be the best fit and we'd love to hear from you!<br />
<br />
== Platform ==<br />
<br />
===Plugin Apps ===<br />
<br />
Plugins are "mini apps" that live inside the Amahi platform and thus little interface need to be developed for them. They are familiar and provide easy, focused value to the user. Ideas:<br />
<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1361 Share space usage]: Using [http://d3js.org D3.js] (for example) to visualize things internal to the system, like finding out the disk space used by shares, disk usage over time, etc.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1480 Wake-on-LAN (WOL)]: The Amahi [http://www.amahi.org/apps/wake-on-lan-server Wake-On-LAN Server] app currently provides this capability.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1481 Virus Scan Shares]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1458 SMART Disk] monitoring<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1489 Netboot Settings/Configuration]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1487 Mail Relay] (i.e. using Gmail or ISP)<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1459 Convert app] [https://www.amahi.org/apps/Amahi-energy-saver Amahi Energy Saver] to a plugin.<br />
* View log files in web browser ([https://github.com/tobi/clarity Clarity using RoR])<br />
* Ability to update default SSL certificates (used by [https://www.amahi.org/apps/openvpn OpenVPN], [https://www.amahi.org/apps/amahi-anywhere Amahi Anywhere], etc).<br />
* AmahiTunes revival/integration<br />
* RAID (SW, MDADM?) support<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Rod, Carlos<br />
<br />
=== [https://www.amahi.org/apps/disk-wizard Disk Wizard] ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Expanding the storage capacity is an important feature of Amahi. The DW is a critical part. However, it's not as stable as it should be. It should detect more partition types and <br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Stability improvements and especially thoroughly testing an Amahi plugin for disk management.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Low level system scripting<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Amahi 11 ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Amahi 11 is our next release.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Work closely with the core team to define the features and functionality that we need to implement to get Amahi released. This project is about working on RoR and the Amahi platform core. Some of the core technology will need to be upgraded, like Rails 5, latest Phusion Passenger, possibly replace MySQL for the platform and use sqlite, create a native API to the platform that can be used by other apps, like mobile apps. Other ideas include beefing up security and provide support for Amahi hosting on the cloud. Features:<br />
<br />
* fully convert the front-end to bootstrap and make sure we can install bootstrap themes and have a consistent and responsive look and behavior<br />
* make it even more modular and cleaner (at the moment we still have some things that really belong in plugins but still are in controllers/views of the main app)<br />
* possibly using a new metal layer instead of passenger - especially ones that do not take a long time to reload, could be puma, i also like thin, maybe others<br />
* better initialization ... like a more standard (wordpress-like) initialization wizard (initially there are no users, we need to create an admin user and perhaps ask a few questions and integrate with amahi.org)<br />
* Implement sharing of folders among the friend servers.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, ruby, JS, CSS, HTML5, Bootstrap<br />

=== Amahi 11 ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Amahi 11 is our next release.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Work closely with the core team to define the features and functionality that we need to implement to get Amahi released. This project is about working on RoR and the Amahi platform core. Some of the core technology will need to be upgraded, like Rails 5, latest Phusion Passenger, possibly replace MySQL for the platform and use sqlite, create a native API to the platform that can be used by other apps, like mobile apps. Other ideas include beefing up security and provide support for Amahi hosting on the cloud. Features:<br />
<br />
* fully convert the front-end to bootstrap and make sure we can install bootstrap themes and have a consistent and responsive look and behavior<br />
* make it even more modular and cleaner (at the moment we still have some things that really belong in plugins but still are in controllers/views of the main app)<br />
* possibly using a new metal layer instead of passenger - especially ones that do not take a long time to reload, could be puma, i also like thin, maybe others<br />
* better initialization ... like a more standard (wordpress-like) initialization wizard (initially there are no users, we need to create an admin user and perhaps ask a few questions and integrate with amahi.org)<br />
* Implement sharing of folders among the friend servers.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, ruby, JS, CSS, HTML5, Bootstrap<br />

===Android App Improvements===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Amahi android offers the ability to stream your HDA over your Android phone and Android TV, support for Chromecast and auto upload of images to HDA. The next step is to complete the following objectives:<br />
<br />
'''Objectives''':<br />
<br />
* Add support for secondary user login support in the Android app over both Local and Remote connection. <br />
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3goqm-HUlJva1hMblQ1MGJQeUU/view<br />
* Develop a module which does an Auto backup of the phone to the HDA over Local connection (reference: Helium).<br />
* Implement sharing of folders or shares with other servers.<br />
* Add support for VPN proxy so that user can access the HDA from the phone over a VPN proxy tunnel.<br />
* Implementing the PlayerAdapter in Android TV to support previews.<br />
* Adding an Expresso based automated UI testing protocol.<br />
* Improving the layouts for both portrait and landscape mode and other UI/UX improvements so that they adhere to the latest material design guidelines from Google.<br />
* Creating a new Theme Amahi Light whose colour scheme adheres to the colour scheme of the Amahi website.<br />
* Store and display the last opened of each file.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Java, Android framework<br />

<br />
== Apps==<br />
<br />
Innovative app or app packaging and app-related projects.<br />
<br />
===Improved VPN Security===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improve the security of our OpenVPN and IPSec VPN apps. Examples are allowing users to generate their own certificates, identify weak spots and strengthen them.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': For the example of generating their own certificates, build a wizard to allow users to create and manage their certificates. Another goal would be to provide logging of VPN connections, so that the user can see the activity on their VPN.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': keen sense of security settings, certificates<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Rod, Carlos<br />
<br />
===Caching Server===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': a caching proxy to save on bandwidth<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Develop and plugin that will allow an administrator user to control the traffic for specific devices inside the network. This app (or possibly a plugin) should display all the connected device as well as provide the ability to search by name/MAC address. For a selected device the administrator should:<br />
*Limit access between certain time intervals<br />
*Limit bandwidth<br />
*Block certain websites (either on an individual basis or read them from a file)<br />
*Limit traffic<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': system configuration and scripting<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
===Create UI and package it for RSnapshot===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Make a UI for rsnapshot<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': [http://www.rsnapshot.org/ RSnapshot] is a great application to backup local data, making efficient use of storage as well as CPU resources and can handle a lot of data. A one-click app that includes a UI to set up and manage RSnapshot backups. Also, possibly backup to GDrive, S3, other cloud solutions<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, system programming<br />

==Installer==<br />
<br />
===Improved Installation===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improved installation experience for users.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Configuration and installation of Amahi can be painful for some percentage of users. Many of them do not know much or care for Linux. We want to make the installation as smooth as possible not just for them, but for more even more regular (non-techy) users. Ubuntu has some challenges of its own to make it work without dropping the users to the command line.<br />
* Create a new [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda Anaconda] node for Amahi configuration<br />
* Similarly for Ubuntu<br />
* Make images that enable booting from USB devices "out of the box"<br />
* Detect sub-optimal configurations of disk partitions and provide feedback to the user<br />
* Measure and analyze how users get tripped on installation and create ways to tackle these issues, bringing installation issues down<br />
<br />
<br />
Idea: use [https://github.com/diafygi/webrtc-ips this package ] to help improve installation networking issues.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Python, Linux boot process internals, creating ISO images<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
<br />
== Networking ==<br />
<br />
=Other Ideas=<br />
<br />
* Add features to our popular mobile apps: Offer to display image-heavy folders and shares within a "gallery" or collection view, add the ability to navigate and stream shares containing music in a streamlined way, Dynamic search, SPDY support, for both remote and local queries, support for accessing HDA web applications within Amahi for iOS, share folders and files from your HDA to other apps or users, support for HDA user permissions (share & web app restrictions, etc.). Mentors available: Carlos<br />
* PHP API: make a native PHP SDK for the Amahi platform, so that PHP apps (we have a lot of them) can more easy be integrated <br />
* Integrate a mail server as an app. Identify any settings or configuration that need to be implemented in the platform<br />
* Router integration, UPNP, direct control<br />
* Port AES (Amahi Energy Server) to the latest Amahi<br />
* Integration of LDAP as a back-end management system, calendaring<br />
* Feature development (examples):<br />
* Calendaring, and integrated contact manager application. Possible options: 1) ownCloud based or 2) Apache carddav<br />
* For the more design-oriented, build mobile theme(s)<br />
* Documentation or screencasts/tutorials<br />
* Use sandboxing and containers to improve app stability, updating and more<br />
* Improve installation and user onboarding (OOBE)<br />
* Better upgrades with backup of apps, settings, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
Plus, of course we are open to suggestions. Open a dialog. We're happy to discuss and determine a suitable project.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a platform that will support the deployment of other open source applications. If you are interested in the integration of applications in your area of interest, just contact us with suggestions.<br />

= About Amahi=<br />
<br />
We're looking for students with skills in these areas: current technologies like RoR, ruby, python, PHP, as well as next generation technologies, like Go (we use it for streaming to our mobile apps), [https://nodejs.org/ Node.js], [https://github.com/amahi/spdy HTTP/2], javascript frameworks for user interaction, visualization or server services, etc.<br />
<br />
'''We're also looking for hardware projects! Creating a Raspberry Pi-style device with great I/O that can run Amahi smoothly is a long-tem goal for Amahi!'''<br />
<br />
Amahi started of a need to keep a personal/home cloud server, keep all my family's photos, videos, documents, and generally any data. It expanded into running applications, mostly web apps, from anything to doing backups to automatic downloaders, media managers and much more.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a full and proper server made up of<br />
* A Linux system based on a mainline distribution, currently Fedora, but we supported Ubuntu before as well<br />
* An [https://github.com/amahi/hda-ctl installer] to help the user bring bring Amahi up in their system<br />
* A [https://github.com/amahi/platform platform], which is a web app that the user uses to manage their server, add apps<br />
* [https://www.amahi.org/apps Apps] that are installed by using the platform<br />
* Two mobile apps to access data and apps, for [http://www.amahi.org/android Android] and [http://www.amahi.org/ios iOS].<br />
<br />
At Amahi we use git (see our [https://github.com/amahi Github repo]) for our version management and the technologies we have ended up using are Ruby, Ruby on Rails, PHP, Linux system internal technologies like system services, configuration areas, web server virtualhosts, databases, DNS, etc., etc.<br />
<br />
= What to do (and NOT do) first =<br />
<br />
Let's talk about what NOT to do first, because many people automatically start badly by doing these:<br />
* do '''not''' comment randomly in github issues, e.g. introducing yourself, saying you would like to do something (agree first over IRC), or just "make noise"<br />
* do '''not''' blindly try to build things without understanding what Amahi is and does<br />
* do '''not''' just submit a pull request or issue a bug without really knowing what you are up to<br />
* do '''not''' just come to IRC, say something and vanish shortly thereafter. Stay for a while. People come and go. Ask your question and stick around. Get a client that can linger for a while<br />
<br />
BUT First, Introduce yourself, interact with the community, so please [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScP4Q2iSzLXCjz1gK2eNutO8IhX_PETXU2bL8pqmhe2t1nCqg/viewform?usp=sf_link introduce yourself with this form], so that we know your background and interests.<br />
<br />
If you have questions about Amahi or just want to interact, you can contact us via IRC on [http://talk.amahi.org #amahi on irc.freenode.net] (fairly active) or on the amahi-devel [[mailing list]] (not as active). Don't forget that we are open to suggestions, extensions or adaptations. Feel free to discuss or propose new ideas for projects!<br />
<br />
One of the most important things is to find an area that you '''enjoy''', using a programming environment that you know or that you are willing to learn quickly, so read below or ask questions.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in being a mentor, we have a few great mentors as of today, but we're very welcoming of more ideas and more mentors!<br />
<br />
See the [[#Mentors|mentors]] below. Looking for ideas to mentor, see the [[#Other Ideas|other ideas]] below.<br />
<br />
=List of Project Ideas=<br />
<br />
We have organized the ideas in groups, depending what area of Amahi they belong in. These groups are not in any particular order. For instance if you are a front-end person who knows HTML and Javascript, the GUI/UX may well be the best fit and we'd love to hear from you!<br />

= About Amahi=<br />
<br />
We're looking for students with skills in these areas: current technologies like RoR, ruby, python, PHP, as well as next generation technologies, like Go (we use it for streaming to our mobile apps), [https://nodejs.org/ Node.js], [https://github.com/amahi/spdy HTTP/2], javascript frameworks for user interaction, visualization or server services, etc.<br />
<br />
'''We're also looking for hardware projects! Creating a Raspberry Pi-style device with great I/O that can run Amahi smoothly is a long-tem goal for Amahi!'''<br />
<br />
Amahi started of a need to keep a personal/home cloud server, keep all my family's photos, videos, documents, and generally any data. It expanded into running applications, mostly web apps, from anything to doing backups to automatic downloaders, media managers and much more.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a full and proper server made up of<br />
* A Linux system based on a mainline distribution, currently Fedora, but we supported Ubuntu before as well<br />
* An [https://github.com/amahi/hda-ctl installer] to help the user bring bring Amahi up in their system<br />
* A [https://github.com/amahi/platform platform], which is a web app that the user uses to manage their server, add apps<br />
* [https://www.amahi.org/apps Apps] that are installed by using the platform<br />
* Two mobile apps to access data and apps, for [http://www.amahi.org/android Android] and [http://www.amahi.org/ios iOS].<br />
<br />
At Amahi we use git (see our [https://github.com/amahi Github repo]) for our version management and the technologies we have ended up using are Ruby, Ruby on Rails, PHP, Linux system internal technologies like system services, configuration areas, web server virtualhosts, databases, DNS, etc., etc.<br />
<br />
= What to do (and NOT do) first =<br />
<br />
Let's talk about what NOT to do first, because many people automatically start badly by doing these:<br />
* do *not* comment randomly in github issues, e.g. introducing yourself, saying you would like to do something (agree first over IRC), or just "make noise"<br />
* do *not* blindly try to build things without understanding what Amahi is and does<br />
* do *not* just submit a pull request or issue a bug without really knowing what you are up to<br />
* do *not* just come to IRC, say something and vanish shortly thereafter. Stay for a while. People come and go. Ask your question and stick around. Get a client that can linger for a while<br />
<br />
BUT First, Introduce yourself, interact with the community, so please [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScP4Q2iSzLXCjz1gK2eNutO8IhX_PETXU2bL8pqmhe2t1nCqg/viewform?usp=sf_link introduce yourself with this form], so that we know your background and interests.<br />
<br />
If you have questions about Amahi or just want to interact, you can contact us via IRC on [http://talk.amahi.org #amahi on irc.freenode.net] (fairly active) or on the amahi-devel [[mailing list]] (not as active). Don't forget that we are open to suggestions, extensions or adaptations. Feel free to discuss or propose new ideas for projects!<br />
<br />
One of the most important things is to find an area that you '''enjoy''', using a programming environment that you know or that you are willing to learn quickly, so read below or ask questions.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in being a mentor, we have a few great mentors as of today, but we're very welcoming of more ideas and more mentors!<br />
<br />
See the [[#Mentors|mentors]] below. Looking for ideas to mentor, see the [[#Other Ideas|other ideas]] below.<br />
<br />
=List of Project Ideas=<br />
<br />
We have organized the ideas in groups, depending what area of Amahi they belong in. These groups are not in any particular order. For instance if you are a front-end person who knows HTML and Javascript, the GUI/UX may well be the best fit and we'd love to hear from you!<br />
<br />
== Platform ==<br />
<br />
===Plugin Apps ===<br />
<br />
Plugins are "mini apps" that live inside the Amahi platform and thus little interface need to be developed for them. They are familiar and provide easy, focused value to the user. Ideas:<br />
<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1361 Share disk space]: Using [http://d3js.org D3.js] to visualize things internal to the system, like finding out the disk space used by shares, disk usage over time, etc.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1480 Wake-on-LAN (WOL)]: The Amahi [http://www.amahi.org/apps/wake-on-lan-server Wake-On-LAN Server] app currently provides this capability.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1481 Virus Scan Shares]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1458 SMART Disk] monitoring<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1489 Netboot Settings/Configuration]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1487 Mail Relay] (i.e. using Gmail or ISP)<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1459 Convert app] [https://www.amahi.org/apps/Amahi-energy-saver Amahi Energy Saver] to a plugin.<br />
* View log files in web browser ([https://github.com/tobi/clarity Clarity using RoR])<br />
* Ability to update default SSL certificates (used by [https://www.amahi.org/apps/openvpn OpenVPN], [https://www.amahi.org/apps/amahi-anywhere Amahi Anywhere], etc).<br />
* AmahiTunes revival/integration<br />
* RAID (SW, MDADM?) support<br />

=== [https://www.amahi.org/apps/disk-wizard Disk Wizard] ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Expanding the storage capacity is an important feature of Amahi. The DW is a critical part. However, it's not as stable as it should be. It should detect more partition types and <br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Stability improvements and especially thoroughly testing an Amahi plugin for disk management.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Low level system scripting<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Amahi 11 ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Amahi 11 is our next release.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Work closely with the core team to define the features and functionality that we need to implement to get Amahi released. This project is about working on RoR and the Amahi platform core. Some of the core technology will need to be upgraded, like Rails 5, latest Phusion Passenger, possibly replace MySQL for the platform and use sqlite, create a native API to the platform that can be used by other apps, like mobile apps. Other ideas include beefing up security and provide support for Amahi hosting on the cloud. Features:<br />
<br />
* fully convert the front-end to bootstrap and make sure we can install bootstrap themes and have a consistent and responsive look and behavior<br />
* make it even more modular and cleaner (at the moment we still have some things that really belong in plugins but still are in controllers/views of the main app)<br />
* possibly using a new metal layer instead of passenger - especially ones that do not take a long time to reload, could be puma, i also like thin, maybe others<br />
* better initialization ... like a more standard (wordpress-like) initialization wizard (initially there are no users, we need to create an admin user and perhaps ask a few questions and integrate with amahi.org)<br />
* Implement sharing of folders among the friend servers.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, ruby, JS, CSS, HTML5, Bootstrap<br />

==Mobile Apps==<br />
<br />
Our mobile apps have streaming, browsing and sharing and it's a great topic.<br />
<br />
This year we're going to try emphasizing the iOS app a little more. The Android app also has a few areas of improvement.<br />
<br />
=== iOS App Reboot/Redo/Rewrite ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Start app from scratch in Swift to replace the current app in the iOS store<br />

<br />
'''Description''': Amahi android offers the ability to stream your HDA over your Android phone and Android TV, support for Chromecast and auto upload of images to HDA. The next step is to complete the following objectives:<br />
<br />
'''Objectives''':<br />
<br />
* Add support for secondary user login support in the Android app over both Local and Remote connection. <br />
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3goqm-HUlJva1hMblQ1MGJQeUU/view<br />
* Develop a module which does an Auto backup of the phone to the HDA over Local connection (reference: Helium).<br />
* Implement sharing of folders or shares with other servers.<br />
* Add support for VPN proxy so that user can access the HDA from the phone over a VPN proxy tunnel.<br />
* Implementing the PlayerAdapter in Android TV to support previews.<br />
* Adding an Expresso based automated UI testing protocol.<br />
* Improving the layouts for both portrait and landscape mode and other UI/UX improvements so that they adhere to the latest material design guidelines from Google.<br />
* Creating a new Theme Amahi Light whose colour scheme adheres to the colour scheme of the Amahi website.<br />
* Store and display the last opened of each file.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Java, Android framework<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Bogdan, Kumar<br />
<br />
'''Reference''': [https://github.com/amahi/android Amahi Android Github repo]<br />
<br />
== Apps==<br />
<br />
Innovative app or app packaging and app-related projects.<br />
<br />
===Improved VPN Security===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improve the security of our OpenVPN and IPSec VPN apps. Examples are allowing users to generate their own certificates, identify weak spots and strengthen them.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': For the example of generating their own certificates, build a wizard to allow users to create and manage their certificates. Another goal would be to provide logging of VPN connections, so that the user can see the activity on their VPN.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': keen sense of security settings, certificates<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Rod, Carlos<br />
<br />
===Caching Server===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': a caching proxy to save on bandwidth<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Develop and plugin that will allow an administrator user to control the traffic for specific devices inside the network. This app (or possibly a plugin) should display all the connected device as well as provide the ability to search by name/MAC address. For a selected device the administrator should:<br />
*Limit access between certain time intervals<br />
*Limit bandwidth<br />
*Block certain websites (either on an individual basis or read them from a file)<br />
*Limit traffic<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': system configuration and scripting<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
===Create UI and package it for RSnapshot===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Make a UI for rsnapshot<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': [http://www.rsnapshot.org/ RSnapshot] is a great application to backup local data, making efficient use of storage as well as CPU resources and can handle a lot of data. A one-click app that includes a UI to set up and manage RSnapshot backups. Also, possibly backup to GDrive, S3, other cloud solutions<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, system programming<br />
<br />

==Installer==<br />
<br />
===Improved Installation===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improved installation experience for users.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Configuration and installation of Amahi can be painful for some percentage of users. Many of them do not know much or care for Linux. We want to make the installation as smooth as possible not just for them, but for more even more regular (non-techy) users. Ubuntu has some challenges of its own to make it work without dropping the users to the command line.<br />
* Create a new [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda Anaconda] node for Amahi configuration<br />
* Similarly for Ubuntu<br />
* Make images that enable booting from USB devices "out of the box"<br />
* Detect sub-optimal configurations of disk partitions and provide feedback to the user<br />
* Measure and analyze how users get tripped on installation and create ways to tackle these issues, bringing installation issues down<br />
<br />
<br />
Idea: use [https://github.com/diafygi/webrtc-ips this package ] to help improve installation networking issues.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Python, Linux boot process internals, creating ISO images<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
<br />
== Networking ==<br />
<br />
=Other Ideas=<br />
<br />
* Add features to our popular mobile apps: Offer to display image-heavy folders and shares within a "gallery" or collection view, add the ability to navigate and stream shares containing music in a streamlined way, Dynamic search, SPDY support, for both remote and local queries, support for accessing HDA web applications within Amahi for iOS, share folders and files from your HDA to other apps or users, support for HDA user permissions (share & web app restrictions, etc.). Mentors available: Carlos<br />
* PHP API: make a native PHP SDK for the Amahi platform, so that PHP apps (we have a lot of them) can more easy be integrated <br />
* Integrate a mail server as an app. Identify any settings or configuration that need to be implemented in the platform<br />
* Router integration, UPNP, direct control<br />
* Port AES (Amahi Energy Server) to the latest Amahi<br />
* Integration of LDAP as a back-end management system, calendaring<br />
* Feature development (examples):<br />
* Calendaring, and integrated contact manager application. Possible options: 1) ownCloud based or 2) Apache carddav<br />
* For the more design-oriented, build mobile theme(s)<br />
* Documentation or screencasts/tutorials<br />
* Use sandboxing and containers to improve app stability, updating and more<br />
* Improve installation and user onboarding (OOBE)<br />
* Better upgrades with backup of apps, settings, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
Plus, of course we are open to suggestions. Open a dialog. We're happy to discuss and determine a suitable project.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a platform that will support the deployment of other open source applications. If you are interested in the integration of applications in your area of interest, just contact us with suggestions.<br />

'''Description''': a caching proxy to save on bandwidth<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Develop and plugin that will allow an administrator user to control the traffic for specific devices inside the network. This app (or possibly a plugin) should display all the connected device as well as provide the ability to search by name/MAC address. For a selected device the administrator should:<br />
*Limit access between certain time intervals<br />
*Limit bandwidth<br />
*Block certain websites (either on an individual basis or read them from a file)<br />
*Limit traffic<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': system configuration and scripting<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
===Create UI and package it for RSnapshot===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Make a UI for rsnapshot<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': [http://www.rsnapshot.org/ RSnapshot] is a great application to backup local data, making efficient use of storage as well as CPU resources and can handle a lot of data. A one-click app that includes a UI to set up and manage RSnapshot backups. Also, possibly backup to GDrive, S3, other cloud solutions<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, system programming<br />
<br />
'''Mentor''': Carlos, Rod<br />

==Installer==<br />
<br />
===Improved Installation===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Improved installation experience for users.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Configuration and installation of Amahi can be painful for some percentage of users. Many of them do not know much or care for Linux. We want to make the installation as smooth as possible not just for them, but for more even more regular (non-techy) users. Ubuntu has some challenges of its own to make it work without dropping the users to the command line.<br />
* Create a new [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda Anaconda] node for Amahi configuration<br />
* Similarly for Ubuntu<br />
* Make images that enable booting from USB devices "out of the box"<br />
* Detect sub-optimal configurations of disk partitions and provide feedback to the user<br />
* Measure and analyze how users get tripped on installation and create ways to tackle these issues, bringing installation issues down<br />
<br />
<br />
Idea: use [https://github.com/diafygi/webrtc-ips this package ] to help improve installation networking issues.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Python, Linux boot process internals, creating ISO images<br />
<br />
'''Mentors''': Carlos, Rod<br />
<br />
<br />
== Networking ==<br />
<br />
=Other Ideas=<br />
<br />
* Add features to our popular mobile apps: Offer to display image-heavy folders and shares within a "gallery" or collection view, add the ability to navigate and stream shares containing music in a streamlined way, Dynamic search, SPDY support, for both remote and local queries, support for accessing HDA web applications within Amahi for iOS, share folders and files from your HDA to other apps or users, support for HDA user permissions (share & web app restrictions, etc.). Mentors available: Carlos<br />
* PHP API: make a native PHP SDK for the Amahi platform, so that PHP apps (we have a lot of them) can more easy be integrated <br />
* Integrate a mail server as an app. Identify any settings or configuration that need to be implemented in the platform<br />
* Router integration, UPNP, direct control<br />
* Port AES (Amahi Energy Server) to the latest Amahi<br />
* Integration of LDAP as a back-end management system, calendaring<br />
* Feature development (examples):<br />
* Calendaring, and integrated contact manager application. Possible options: 1) ownCloud based or 2) Apache carddav<br />
* For the more design-oriented, build mobile theme(s)<br />
* Documentation or screencasts/tutorials<br />
* Use sandboxing and containers to improve app stability, updating and more<br />
* Improve installation and user onboarding (OOBE)<br />
* Better upgrades with backup of apps, settings, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
Plus, of course we are open to suggestions. Open a dialog. We're happy to discuss and determine a suitable project.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a platform that will support the deployment of other open source applications. If you are interested in the integration of applications in your area of interest, just contact us with suggestions.<br />

= About Amahi=<br />
<br />
We're looking for students with skills in these areas: current technologies like RoR, ruby, python, PHP, as well as next generation technologies, like Go (we use it for streaming to our mobile apps), [https://nodejs.org/ Node.js], [https://github.com/amahi/spdy HTTP/2], javascript frameworks for user interaction, visualization or server services, etc.<br />
<br />
'''We're also looking for hardware projects! Creating a Raspberry Pi-style device with great I/O that can run Amahi smoothly is a long-tem goal for Amahi!'''<br />
<br />
Amahi started of a need to keep a personal/home cloud server, keep all my family's photos, videos, documents, and generally any data. It expanded into running applications, mostly web apps, from anything to doing backups to automatic downloaders, media managers and much more.<br />
<br />
Amahi is a full and proper server made up of<br />
* A Linux system based on a mainline distribution, currently Fedora, but we supported Ubuntu before as well<br />
* An [https://github.com/amahi/hda-ctl installer] to help the user bring bring Amahi up in their system<br />
* A [https://github.com/amahi/platform platform], which is a web app that the user uses to manage their server, add apps<br />
* [https://www.amahi.org/apps Apps] that are installed by using the platform<br />
* Two mobile apps to access data and apps, for [http://www.amahi.org/android Android] and [http://www.amahi.org/ios iOS].<br />
<br />
At Amahi we use git (see our [https://github.com/amahi Github repo]) for our version management and the technologies we have ended up using are Ruby, Ruby on Rails, PHP, Linux system internal technologies like system services, configuration areas, web server virtualhosts, databases, DNS, etc., etc.<br />
<br />
= Introduce yourself, interact with the community =<br />
<br />
First, please [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSczksMOYpCLH5OdRIvF81WpAgoCXqmSXO7JQG1M9RDHdHystQ/viewform?usp=sf_link introduce yourself with this form], so that we know your background and interests.<br />
<br />
If you have questions about Amahi or just want to interact, you can contact us via IRC on [http://talk.amahi.org #amahi on irc.freenode.net] (fairly active) or on the amahi-devel [[mailing list]] (not as active). Don't forget that we are open to suggestions, extensions or adaptations. Feel free to discuss or propose new ideas for projects!<br />
<br />
One of the most important things is to find an area that you '''enjoy''', using a programming environment that you know or that you are willing to learn quickly, so read below or ask questions.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in being a mentor, we have a few great mentors as of today, but we're very welcoming of more ideas and more mentors!<br />
<br />
See the [[#Mentors|mentors]] below. Looking for ideas to mentor, see the [[#Other Ideas|other ideas]] below.<br />
<br />
=List of Project Ideas=<br />
<br />
We have organized the ideas in groups, depending what area of Amahi they belong in. These groups are not in any particular order. For instance if you are a front-end person who knows HTML and Javascript, the GUI/UX may well be the best fit and we'd love to hear from you!<br />
<br />
== Platform ==<br />
<br />
===Plugin Apps ===<br />
<br />
Plugins are "mini apps" that live inside the Amahi platform and thus little interface need to be developed for them. They are familiar and provide easy, focused value to the user. Ideas:<br />
<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1361 Share disk space]: Using [http://d3js.org D3.js] to visualize things internal to the system, like finding out the disk space used by shares, disk usage over time, etc.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1480 Wake-on-LAN (WOL)]: The Amahi [http://www.amahi.org/apps/wake-on-lan-server Wake-On-LAN Server] app currently provides this capability.<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1481 Virus Scan Shares]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1458 SMART Disk] monitoring<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1489 Netboot Settings/Configuration]<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1487 Mail Relay] (i.e. using Gmail or ISP)<br />
* [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1459 Convert app] [https://www.amahi.org/apps/Amahi-energy-saver Amahi Energy Saver] to a plugin.<br />
* View log files in web browser ([https://github.com/tobi/clarity Clarity using RoR])<br />
* Ability to update default SSL certificates (used by [https://www.amahi.org/apps/openvpn OpenVPN], [https://www.amahi.org/apps/amahi-anywhere Amahi Anywhere], etc).<br />
* AmahiTunes revival/integration<br />
* RAID (SW, MDADM?) support<br />

=== [https://www.amahi.org/apps/disk-wizard Disk Wizard] ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Expanding the storage capacity is an important feature of Amahi. The DW is a critical part. However, it's not as stable as it should be. It should detect more partition types and <br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Stability improvements and especially thoroughly testing an Amahi plugin for disk management.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': Low level system scripting<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Amahi 11 ===<br />
<br />
'''Description''': Amahi 11 is our next release.<br />
<br />
'''Objective''': Work closely with the core team to define the features and functionality that we need to implement to get Amahi released. This project is about working on RoR and the Amahi platform core. Some of the core technology will need to be upgraded, like Rails 5, latest Phusion Passenger, possibly replace MySQL for the platform and use sqlite, create a native API to the platform that can be used by other apps, like mobile apps. Other ideas include beefing up security and provide support for Amahi hosting on the cloud. Features:<br />
<br />
* fully convert the front-end to bootstrap and make sure we can install bootstrap themes and have a consistent and responsive look and behavior<br />
* make it even more modular and cleaner (at the moment we still have some things that really belong in plugins but still are in controllers/views of the main app)<br />
* possibly using a new metal layer instead of passenger - especially ones that do not take a long time to reload, could be puma, i also like thin, maybe others<br />
* better initialization ... like a more standard (wordpress-like) initialization wizard (initially there are no users, we need to create an admin user and perhaps ask a few questions and integrate with amahi.org)<br />
* Implement sharing of folders among the friend servers.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': RoR, ruby, JS, CSS, HTML5, Bootstrap<br />

<br />
'''Objectives''':<br />
<br />
* Add support for secondary user login support in the Android app over both Local and Remote connection. <br />
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3goqm-HUlJva1hMblQ1MGJQeUU/view<br />
* Develop a module which does an Auto backup of the phone to the HDA over Local connection (reference: Helium).<br />
* Implement sharing of folders or shares with other servers.<br />
* Add support for VPN proxy so that user can access the HDA from the phone over a VPN proxy tunnel.<br />
* Implementing the PlayerAdapter in Android TV to support previews.<br />
* Adding an Expresso based automated UI testing protocol.<br />
* Improving the layouts for both portrait and landscape mode and other UI/UX improvements so that they adhere to the latest material design guidelines from Google.<br />

<br />
'''Objective''': For the example of generating their own certificates, build a wizard to allow users to create and manage their certificates. Another goal would be to provide logging of VPN connections, so that the user can see the activity on their VPN.<br />
<br />
'''Skills Required''': keen sense of security settings, certificates<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>{{Warning|<br />
<div style<nowiki>=</nowiki>"color:darkred">The Amahi team strongly recommends [[Amahi_11|installing from scratch]] over the upgrade. If that is not possible, UNINSTALL AS MANY APPS AS POSSIBLE BEFORE THE UPGRADE (and reinstall after the upgrade)!<br /><br />
<br /><br />
We have tested the fairly clean upgrade cases (with no/few modifications), on virtual machines. In general, there are too many variables involved to 100% ensure success. You must accept risk that your Amahi Server could break on upgrade.<br />
<br /><br />
We can only provide limited support in the [https://forums.amahi.org forums] and [http://talk.amahi.org IRC], though in some cases only [[commercial support]]. We continue to recommend a new install over an upgrade as the best option.</div>}}<br />
<br />
:'''NOTE:'''<br />
:* There is no upgrade path from [[Fedora_14|Fedora 14]] or [[Ubuntu|Ubuntu 12.04 LTS]] to [[Amahi 10]]. This will require a new install. The [[HDA OS Migration Guide]] might be helpful. <br />
:* For [[Fedora_19|Amahi 7]] users, an [[Amahi 8 Upgrade]], [[Amahi 9 Upgrade]] and [[Amahi 10 Upgrade]] will be needed before the [[Amahi 11]] upgrade can be accomplished (be advised this is untested).<br />
<br />
= Upgrading Amahi 10 to Amahi 11 =<br />
== Preparation ==<br />
We '''recommend you turn on a temporary DHCP server''', (e.g. in your router) since the network may go down for the duration of the actual upgrade.<br />
<br />
Execute all commands as <code>root</code> user or precede commands with <code>sudo</code><br />
* At a minimum [https://www.amahi.org/apps/disk-wizard Disk Wizard], [https://www.amahi.org/apps/disk-stats Disk Stats], [https://www.amahi.org/apps/greyhole-ui Greyhole UI], [https://www.amahi.org/apps/web-apps Web Apps], and [https://www.amahi.org/apps/db-backups Database Backup] '''MUST''' be uninstalled<br />
* Upgrade will work best if '''ALL''' apps are uninstalled (highly recommended)<br />
* '''Back up your data as a precaution'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Let's begin!<br />
<br />
* Update everything in the system:<br />
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left"><br />
dnf -y update<br />
</div><br />
* Reboot to pick up new kernels, etc:<br />
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left"><br />
shutdown -r now<br />
</div><br />
* Update everything in the system again:<br />
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left"><br />
dnf -y update<br />
</div><br />
* If there are any updates, do it again. If there are new kernels, reboot:<br />
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left"><br />
shutdown -r now<br />
</div><br />
<br />
== Execution ==<br />
Install the upgrade tool:<br />
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left"><br />
dnf -y install fedup<br />
</div><br />
Do the live update over the network:<br />
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left"><br />
fedup -y --network 27 --nogpgcheck --allowerasing<br />
</div><br />
<br />
Once the previous fedup command is complete, you will be prompted to run:<br />
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left"><br />
dnf system-upgrade reboot<br />
</div><br />
<br />
The actual upgrade will take place now, so you will not be able to access the server (or possibly the network) until it is complete.<br />
<br />
It would be good to have a monitor/keyboard on the system to cover the risk that the upgrade process becomes stuck somehow. This also should let you keep up with progress.<br />
<br />
Be aware it may take 15 to 30 minutes at a minimum for the upgrade to complete, depending on your hardware. It may take *much longer* on a slower network or hardware.<br />
<br />
== Finalize ==<br />
Once the upgrade is complete, execute the following to disable the firewall:<br />
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left"><br />
systemctl stop firewalld<br />
systemctl disable firewalld<br />
systemctl stop rolekit<br />
systemctl disable rolekit<br />
</div><br />
<br />
You now should be able to access the dashboard at <nowiki>http://hda</nowiki>.<br />

There are three methods to install:<br />
* Amahi's own all-in-one Express CD (recommended for quick download and fast installation)<br />
* [[Fedora_27_Server_CD_Install|Fedora Netinstall CD]]<br />
* [[Fedora_27_Server_DVD_Install|Full (DVD) install]] (provides additional hardware support)<br />
<br><br />
'''NOTES:'''<br />
* The only '''officially supported''' install media is Fedora 27 Server.<br />
* Ensure your system meets the [http://docs.amahi.org/requirements.html minimum hardware requirements] for Amahi before proceeding. <br />
* 32-bit installs '''are not''' available nor supported in Amahi 11.<br />
* '''NOT ALL''' apps in previous Amahi versions are available for Amahi 11. Check the [https://www.amahi.org/apps App Store] before proceeding.<br />
<br><br />
For assistance, visit the [https://forums.amahi.org Amahi Forums] or live support on the [http://talk.amahi.org Amahi IRC channel].<br />
<br />
= Prerequisites =<br />
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.<br />
<br />

Once installed, you will want to transition your network to using your Amahi server. Here are some of the things you should know:<br />
<br />
* Your server will boot with the static IP you pre-configured in the Amahi control panel<br />
* 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)]]<br />
* It's strongly recommended you follow the [[transition to Amahi]] HDA guide to get your network fully working properly<br />
* 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)<br />
* The first time it will initialize, ask you to login, and enter a dashboard password.<br />
* 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.<br />
* Optionally refer to [[Greyhole#Amahi_7.2F8|Greyhole]] to install/configure storage pooling.<br />

= Transitioning to your Amahi server =<br />
<br />
Once installed, you will want to transition your network to using your Amahi server. Here are some of the things you should know:<br />
<br />
* Your server will boot with the static IP you pre-configured in the Amahi control panel<br />
* 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)]]<br />
* It's strongly recommended you follow the [[transition to Amahi]] HDA guide to get your network fully working properly<br />
* 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)<br />
* The first time it will initialize, ask you to login, and enter a dashboard password.<br />
* 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.<br />
* Optionally refer to [[Greyhole#Amahi_7.2F8|Greyhole]] to install/configure storage pooling.<br />

<br />
= Upgrading Amahi 10 to Amahi 11 =<br />
== Preparation ==<br />
We '''recommend you turn on a temporary DHCP server''', (e.g. in your router) since the network may go down for the duration of the actual upgrade.<br />
<br />
Execute all commands as <code>root</code> user or precede commands with <code>sudo</code><br />
* Upgrade will work best if apps are uninstalled<br />
* '''Back up your data as a precaution'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Let's begin!<br />
<br />
* Update everything in the system:<br />

shutdown -r now<br />
</div><br />
* Update everything in the system again:<br />
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left"><br />
dnf -y update<br />
</div><br />
* If there are any updates, do it again. If there are new kernels, reboot:<br />
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left"><br />
shutdown -r now<br />
</div><br />
<br />
== Execution ==<br />
Install the upgrade tool:<br />
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left"><br />
dnf -y install fedup<br />
</div><br />
Do the live update over the network:<br />
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left"><br />
fedup -y --network 27 --nogpgcheck --allowerasing<br />
</div><br />
<br />
Once the previous fedup command is complete, you will be prompted to run:<br />
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left"><br />
dnf system-upgrade reboot<br />
</div><br />
<br />
The actual upgrade will take place now, so you will not be able to access the server (or possibly the network) until it is complete.<br />
<br />
It would be good to have a monitor/keyboard on the system to cover the risk that the upgrade process becomes stuck somehow. This also should let you keep up with progress.<br />
<br />
Be aware it may take 15 to 30 minutes at a minimum for the upgrade to complete, depending on your hardware. It may take *much longer* on a slower network or hardware.<br />
<br />
== Finalize ==<br />
Once the upgrade is complete, execute the following to disable the firewall:<br />
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left"><br />
systemctl stop firewalld<br />
systemctl disable firewalld<br />
systemctl stop rolekit<br />
systemctl disable rolekit<br />
</div><br />

You now should be able to access the dashboard at <nowiki>http://hda</nowiki>.<br />

=Install from Scratch=<br />
Download the Fedora 27 Workstation Netinstall CD for 64 bit (484MB, Checksum SHA1 10957f5e347c9ef9d0d41faee13e60c808226f7c).<br />
* Primary: [https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/27/Workstation/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-27-1.6.iso Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-27-1.6.iso]<br />

<br />
<br />
Burn the ISO to CD/DVD, insert the media into your server, and reboot the system.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Fedora 27==<br />
May be able to follow the [[Amahi 10 Install#Install_Fedora_25|Install Fedora 25]] guidance with the Fedora 27 Media. There may be some minor differences. <br />
<br />
'''NOTE:''' Desktop will not be supported. '''ONLY''' minimal install option should be selected.<br />
<br />
==Amahi 11==<br />
Should be able to follow the [[Amahi_10_Install#Install_Amahi_10|Install Amahi 10]] guidance, except two things:<br />
<br />
* Using ''f27'' in the following line as follows (instead of ''f25'' for Amahi 10):<br />
<nowiki>rpm -Uvh http://f27.amahi.org/noarch/hda-release-10.5.0-1.noarch.rpm</nowiki><br />
* Using -i with hda-install when using an install code, i.e. <code>hda-install -i INSTALL_CODE</code><br />
<br />
=Upgrade from Fedora 25=<br />
Should be able to follow the [[Amahi 10 Upgrade]] page with this (as root, on the console, preferably, or via ssh and sudo):<br />

dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=27<br />
