NOTES:

  • The only officially supported install media is Fedora 21 Server.
  • Ensure your system meets the minimum hardware requirements for Amahi before proceeding.
  • 32-bit installs are not available nor supported in Amahi 8.
  • NOT ALL apps available in Amahi 7 are fully operational for Amahi 8. Check the App Store before proceeding.
  • You must install Fedora 21 Server prior to installing Amahi 8.


For assistance, visit the Amahi Forums or live support on the Amahi IRC channel.

Install Fedora 21

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

Minimal (CD) Install

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

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


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

Full (DVD) Install

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

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


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

USB Install

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

Transitioning to using your Amahi server

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

  • Your server will boot with the static IP you pre-configured in the Amahi control panel
  • It's strongly recommended you follow the transition to Amahi HDA guide to get your network fully working properly
  • You can verify if the dashboard is available by accessing it from any client using the IP address of your server http://IPADDRESS/ or http://hda/ (in most Windows clients this works even without DNS from your HDA)
  • The first time it will initialize, ask you to login, and enter a dashboard password. This is the First Admin User created earlier in the Fedora 21 installation.
  • Once you reach your dashboard, you should create shares as needed, add more drives, install apps, etc., etc.
  • Optionally refer to Greyhole to install/configure storage pooling.

Troubleshooting

Visit the troubleshooting page if you find yourself in trouble.

Reference

Refer to the HDA Admin How To page for Amahi Server administrator guidance.
