<hr />
<div>Each Amahi server has a calendar server in it. With it, client sofware (like Outlook, iCal, Sunbird, Thunderbird or Chandler) can publish and also subscribe to calendars published in your HDA.<br />
<br />
To publish or subscribe to a calendar in this server, you need four things:<br />
<br />
# A client calendar program (see below),<br />
# The publishing location or URL, which is: <code><nowiki>http://calendar/</nowiki></code>, and<br />
# The calendar name of your choice, typically Home, John, etc.<br />
<br />
In addition, you can also install a "client" application to browse calendars in your HDA, like [http://www.amahi.org/apps/webcal iCalendar]<br />
<br />
Calendars can be created with widely available clients such as:<br />
<br />
* Apple iCal, for Mac OS X.<br />
* Mozilla Sunbird, for multiple platforms.<br />
* Windows Calendar, for Windows Vista.<br />
* ... and many others.<br />
<br />
Technically, the HDA has a WebDAV server, commonly used for sharing online calendars and other files.<br />
<br />
IMPORTANT: Only one calendar publisher is supported per calendar.<br />
<br />
Note: some clients may require that the name have the ical extension, e.g. Home.ics; you may need to experiment.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[OutlookSync|Outlook synchronization support!]]<br />
<br />
== Publishing URL ==<br />
<br />
The publishing URL for the calendar is<br />
<nowiki><br />
http://calendar/<CalendarName><br />
</nowiki>. If that fails to work, try <nowiki>http://calendar.yourdomain.com/</nowiki>.<br />
<br />
The <nowiki><CalendarName></nowiki> part maybe Home, or Home.ics (try this last one first).<br />
<br />
Some clients, notably Sunbird, require that the name of the calendar have the ical extension (which is '''.ics'''), e.g. Home.ics. You may need to experiment with this until it works. If you calendar client asks for a username and password, use your normal login details. Please add your experiences in this page.<br />
<br />
Names with spaces are supported.<br />
<br />
== Accessing the Calendar ==<br />
<br />
<br />
The url for accessing the calendar selection page in your HDA is under Setup -> Settings -> Calendars or:<br />
<br />
<nowiki><br />
http://hda/setup?sub=calendars&tab=setting<br />
</nowiki><br />
<br />
We have one application called [http://www.amahi.org/apps/webcal iCalendar] that needs to be installed if you want to browse calendars in your hda via a web interface. Please note that this app is a '''read only''' client. It cannot create calendar entries.<br />
<br />
<br />
The url for accessing the calendar is<br />
<nowiki><br />
http://icalendar<br />
</nowiki><br />
<br />
The url for setting the calendar preferences page is<br />
<br />
<nowiki><br />
http://icalendar/preferences.php<br />
</nowiki><br />
<br />
== Calendar Clients ==<br />
Calendars can be created with widely available clients such as:<br />
<br />
* [http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/ical/ Apple iCal], for Mac OS X:<br />[[Image:ical2.jpg|Apple Ical]] [[Image:ical1.gif|Apple Ical]]<br />
* [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/ Mozilla Sunbird and Lightning (a perfect calendar companion for Thunderbird)], for Windows, Mac and Linux.<br /> [[Image:sunbird.png|frameless]]<br />[[Image:lightning.png|frameless]]<br />

<hr />
<div>Since the Amahi HDA appears as a NAS to you network, it is a natural destination for the backups from your network PCs. All backups are initiated by the client computer on to the HDA.<br />
<br />
== Periodic File Backups ==<br />
One of the ways to backup systems in your network is to use the operating-system provided backup service to backup to an Amahi share.<br />
[[Image:VistaBackups3.png | 150px | Vista Backups | right]]<br />
<br />
We have documented ways to conduct periodic backups in various platforms. If you have good suggestions on how to do that, please add them to this section of the wiki! (Or email it to us if you're wiki-shy)<br />
<br />
=== Third-Party (Free) Backup Software ===<br />
There are a number of great open source or free backup programs out there that you can use free (commercial users should check license details). Here is a partial list (feel free to add others):<br />
<br />

<br />
== Windows 7 and Vista Backups ==<br />
<br />
The built in backup tool for Windows 7 and Vista are very similar. Read the section [[VistaWindows7Backups | periodic file backups in Windows Vista to your HDA]] <br />
<br />
== Windows XP Backups ==<br />
<br />
For XP Backups, visit the section for [[XPBackups | Windows XP]]<br />
<br />
== Ubuntu Backups ==<br />
<br />
How to backup Ubuntu clients using Ubuntu's [[Sbackup | Simple Backup]].<br />
<br />
== Fedora Backups ==<br />
<br />
To backup Fedora clients, the following are recommended:<br />
<br />
* [[fwbackups]], a desktop utility<br />
* [http://rsnapshot.org/ rsnapshot], a solution using rsync, with command line interface<br />
* for backing up your hda shares to usbdrive see [[Rsnapshot]] for an example setup.<br />
<br />
== Mac OS X ==<br />
<br />
Mac OS X without Time Machine is not officially supported through automated HDA Backups at this time. <br />
You can, however, manually copy files to an HDA shared folder.<br />
<br />
=== Backups with SuperDuper! ===<br />
<br />
Another backup solution is a program called [[SuperDuper!]], follow the link to see the steps and to find out about SuperDuper!.<br />
<br />
=== Backups with SystemRescueCD ===<br />
<br />
Backups with [[SystemRescueCD_with_Mac_OS_X | SystemRescueCD]] have been reported that they work, more info can be found by visiting the link.<br />
<br />
=== Backups with Time Machine ===<br />
<br />
==== SMB (Samba) ====<br />
<br />
'''WARNING - Hack ahead!''' For Time Machine smb users only.<br />
<br />
''The method described below does not appear to work with Time Machine starting with Snow Leopard - it allows you to see the drives, but backups will not start successfully.''<br />
<br />
There is an unsupported way to enable using Mac OS X Time Machine to backup to your HDA. The [http://vowe.net/archives/008940.html Time Machine hack] is a one liner command to be typed in a terminal in Mac OS X:<br />
<br />
<code>defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1</code><br />
<br />
This will offer you the choice to backup to your HDA shares.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that mounting a directory from your HDA via NFS let's you use time machine without this hack.<br />
<br />
Needless to say, we're not advocating you backup your data like this, since Apple does not support this functionality. There are rumors that data corruption can occur if the size of the backup exceeds 2TB or if a large number of files, on the order of a million, are backed up. Because the exact conditions leading to data corruption are not well quantified, we do not recommend you backup like this.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== AFP ===<br />
<br />
For full time machine support in fedora, avahi(bonjour) and netatalk(afp) need to be installed<br />
<br />
Install [[AFP]] and Avahi:<br />
<br />
<br />
* in Applevolume.default add <br />
<br />
<code>~/ "$u" allow:UserName rwlist:UserName,@users cnidscheme:cdb<br><br />
/var/hda/files/timemachine allow:UserName rwlist:UserName,@users cnidscheme:cdb options:usedots,upriv</code><br />
<br />
*Change UserName to your username and /var/hda/files/timemachine to your timemachine folder, the first line will also publish your homefolder to your mac but was necessary in my setup to work<br />
<br />
*then service avahi-daemon and atalk restart<br />
<br />
*the server will show up on your mac connect to the xserve afp server<br />
*on your mac open disk utility<br />
*make a new disk image with the max size on disk possible and name it Computername_ethernetmacadress.sparsebundle<br />
ex.<br />
MacBookProIcey_aa00bb11cc22.sparsebundle<br />
<br />
#use Journaled/case sensitive<br />
#name has to be Backup of ComputerName<br />
#and save it to the timemachine share<br />
[[File:Tm-sparsebundle.png|caption]]<br />
<br />
*timemachine image will grow when you synchronize but never larger than the max size<br />
*time machine will now find your amahi time capsule<br />
<br />
''Update: Recent versions of timemachine do not appear to respect the max size of the sparsebundle and will cheerfully fill up your disk. To fix this, you need a more recent version of netatalk (2.0.5+?), which has an option to tell fibs about the size of the disk, hence limiting timemachine's space consumption. Fedora 14 has netatalk 2.1.4...''<br />
<br />
== Full Disk "Bare Metal" Backups ==<br />
Bare metal backups are no longer available as a feature in current Amahi releases on F12 & F14. Note: Older releases used the Personal Backup Appliance, or [[PBA | PBA]], with the collaboration of the PBA leader, Roland Hui. PBA is an application to do hard disk clones, backups and restores but appears to no longer be under development<br />
<br />
== Using Symantec Backup Exec ==<br />
=== System Recovery 8.5 ===<br />
<br />
Symantec's [http://www.symantec.com/business/backup-exec-system-recovery-desktop-edition BESR] allows full system backup and restore (virtual and physical)from any hardware with restore to dissimilar hardware. Conversion from P2V or V2P can also be scheduled. Install BESR on all windows computers connected to HDA and route backup to a folder on the HDA. Remember to set permissions on destination folders. Activate VSS copy so any open files are captured, optional threatcon can be used to trigger a backup if a threat becomes widespread. <br />
Alternatively BESR can be installed on a central Windows machine with agents deployed on all other Windows and Linux machines and using the new Linux media server agent (replaces RALUS) backup directly on the Linux HDA. This way you maintain a catalogue of all backups and can trigger them from a central console.<br />
BESR is the enterprise windows standard for Backup and restore. Norton the consumer brand of Symantec have [http://www.symantec.com/norton/save-restore "Save & Restore"] I'm not overly familiar with this product but it replaces Norton "Ghost" in most markets. The GUI is exactly the same as BESR.<br />
<br />
BESR is only for Windows machines connected to the HDA but is a great solution to protecting these machines and allows LIVE single pass backup and granular restore of files, saves doing an image and a file backup. Less space less time. An agent is available to backup Linux but another option is to boot the HDA on the recovery disk and create a cold image of the server.<br />

<br />
[http://www.asterisk.org/ Asterisk] is a telephony engine and toolkit. It handles things like pbx (switching calls), and interactive voice response system (ivr), a voicemail system etc.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE: This app is in ALPHA stage!'''<br />
<br />
= Asterisk Notes =<br />
<br />
* due to the way the make file is written for asterisk it requires the kernel-devel files to be present and a link to them placed in /usr/src<br />
* the zaptel and asterisks makefile rely on this when performing an install from source<br />
<br />
*installing Asterisk from the repo installs the 1.6beta9 currently, this has a know issue with the optional ldap authentication causing the Asterisk server to crash which should be fixed in beta 10. -more info at http://www.redhatmagazine.com/2008/07/24/open-source-telephony-a-fedora-based-voip-server-with-asterisk/<br />
*using the default behavior to configure the users and access through the sip.conf and the other related files should avoid any ldap bugs<br />
<br />
*installing the common components from the repo currently works and provides a base Asterisk server which will need to be manually configured and started (yum install asterisk asterisk-alsa asterisk-voicemail asterisk-voicemail-plain)<br />
*note that installing all components will require more configuration of all of the individual components and *.conf files<br />
<br />
*the asterisk-sounds package required for the echo test and voicemail may not be available due to licensing questions, but should be available from other sources or the Asterisk website as source to be unpacked into the proper directory (/usr/share/asterisk/sounds).<br />

<hr />
<div>A burgeoning community is developing around Amahi. With the release of version 2.6 of the Amahi Home Server, a new class of community member has been created Application Contributor or '''Contributor''' for short.<br />
<br />
A '''contributor''' is a '''trusted member''' of the community who does (or leads) the following for a specific application to be deployed on Amahi:<br />
# select an application you'd like to be the named contributor for<br />
# contact support at amahi.org, or find us in the irc channel, and request '''contributor''' status for the specified application<br />
# "Package" the application for deployment<br />
# test the package yourself<br />
# test the app with a select user base<br />
# release the application to the Amahi user community<br />
# upgrade/maintain the application<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are some details on each step ..<br />
<br />
== Application Selection ==<br />
Chances are you know what application you'd like to see running on Amahi! Contact us and we'll help you become the named contributor for that application.<br />
<br />
If there is a particular application you'd like to see running on Amahi and you ''don't have the skills/time'' to be a contributor, let us know. We'll keep it on file. <br />
<br />
Eventually http://www.amahi.org will have areas where community members can nominate applications for deployment on Amahi. This will make it easier for contributors to select applications. <br />
<br />
Of course, the application you submit MUST be able to be legally distributed through the "one-click" mechanism. In most cases the application will be made available under an open source license that allows this. <br />
<br />
== Contact Amahi ==<br />
Send an email to ''support at amahi.org'', or find us in the IRC channel, indicating the application that you would like to become a contributor for, and some details on your level of experience. It may also be a good ideas to discuss in the [http://forums.amahi.org/viewforum.php?f=6 developer forum] or the amahi-devel mailing list.<br />
<br />
The core Amahi team needs to get to know you a bit and review what you do. Applications are trust-based and we must ensure that applications do not do anything malicious (intentionally or not!). Chances are we'll give you access to the contributor area of amahi.org and you can proceed from there.<br />
<br />
== Package the Application ==<br />
Packaging the application for deployment on Amahi involves <br />
* Naming the application and describing it (short/long descriptions)<br />
* Creating icons/screenshots for display<br />
* pointing to source tarball, RPM, etc. as required<br />
* setting up necessary installation/removal scripts<br />
* Logo's should be 160x120 and screenshots 320x240<br />
<br />
For a more detailed explanation refer to [[Application Packaging]]<br />
<br />
== Test Yourself/With Selected Users ==<br />
Once you have packaged the application and you can "one-click" install it yourself you;re ready to release it to a "test community." This is a group of Amahi users who have volunteered to test new application installations.<br />
<br />
== Release the Application ==<br />
The core Amahi team will review the application and then make it visible to the broad base of the Amahi user community. At this stage any member of the community can select the application for installation on their Amahi installation.<br />
<br />
== Maintain and Upgrade ==<br />
Once the application is released you will be able to <br />
* see the number of users who have tested the application<br />
* review the number of "live" installations of your application<br />
* monitor feedback from the Amahi community through a dedicated forum.<br />
<br />
As the '''contributor''' for the application we hope that you will monitor the forum and understand any issues (bugs/features) that arise. If your application is successful we expect that many community members will help with this activity!<br />
