The Amahi HDA server is a Linux-based home network server.

  • It is meant to be headless, and running 24x7.
  • Some people also use it as a desktop, while still serving the rest of the home network.
  • It has the following features:
    • Centralized storage server
    • Bare metal backup server
    • Calendar server
    • Wiki server
    • Remote access server (for secure remote access to your files) (i.e. VPN).
    • Printer server
    • ... and other types of services with plugins:
      • Bittorrent server
      • Slideshow generator
      • Recipes database
      • ... and more!

We think there are two types of users for our HDAs:

  • The technical user (the one who installs and runs it)
  • The real user of the home network: spouses, kids, etc., who

We have a few features that are directed towards making one or the other. However, ultimately, the real users are the non-technical users.

The features directed towards the technical user are meant to make his/her life easier when running a home network for the benefit of all the users.
