This basic instructions below summarize the Fedora 21 Server DVD installation.
+
This is only recommended for cases where the Minimal (CD) 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
 +
** [https://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents/Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-21.torrent Fedora 21 Server 64-bit] (torrent)
 +
**[http://mirror.web-ster.com/fedora/releases/21/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-21.iso Fedora 21 Server 64-bit] (http)
  
−
* Boot the Fedora 21 Server DVD and select ''Install Fedora-Server 21''
+
* Burn the ISO to DVD (or or [[USB Install|USB]]), insert the media into your server, and reboot the system.
−
* Choose desired language and select ''Continue''
 
−
* The '''INSTALLATION SUMMARY''' screen will appear.  It may take a few minutes to finish ''Checking software dependencies''. Once complete, next choose ''INSTALLATION DESTINATION''.  This is where you will select the disk drive to use. 
 
−
* Choose the disk drive you want to use for the Fedora installation.  If you have more than one disk drive connected, '''DO NOT''' select them at this time. You will notice a ''check mark'' on the disk drive selected. 
 
−
** Select ''I will configure partitioning'' and then choose ''Continue''. 
 
−
** Ensure the ''New mount points will use the following partitioning scheme:'' is changed to reflect '''Standard partition'''.  Then select ''Click here to create them automatically''. 
 
−
** You can manually change it using the [[Hard_Drive_Partition_Scheme|hard drive partition scheme]] documentation as a guide.  Once complete, choose ''Done''
 
−
** You will now see '''SUMMARY OF CHANGES''' to the disk drive.  Choose ''Accept Changes''
 
−
* Back to the '''INSTALLATION SUMMARY''' and ready to begin installation.  Select ''Begin Installation''.  Once installation has begun, but we need to configure the users. 
 
−
** Although not mandatory, recommend you set the ''root'' password. Enter the desired password and choose ''Done''.  You may have to select ''Done'' twice if your password is weak.
 
−
** You must create the initial user and password.  Ensure you select ''Make this user administrator'' check box.  Once complete, choose ''Done''.  As in the previous step, a weak password may require you to select ''Done'' twice.
 
−
* Now all of the configuration steps are complete.  Sit back and watch the progress. 
 
−
* Once installation is complete.  Choose ''Reboot'' and remove the installation media.

    SS6-Install-Disk.PNG


  • The disk drive partition should look similar to this setup. For most users, then default partitioning scheme used will suffice. However, you can manually change it using the hard drive partition scheme documentation as a guide. Once complete, choose Done

    SS10-User.PNG


  • You MUST create the initial user and password (This will be your HDA Login, also called the First Admin User). Ensure you select Make this user administrator check box. Once complete, choose Done. Note that a weak password may require you to select Done twice.

    SS12-User.PNG


Installation Progress

  • Now all of the configuration steps are complete. Sit back and watch the progress.

    SS13-Install.PNG


Installation Complete

  • Installation is complete. Choose Reboot and remove the installation media.

    SS14-Finished.PNG


Install Amahi 8

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

You need to obtain an install code (denoted YOUR-INSTALL-CODE below) from the Amahi control panel after configuring a profile for the system you are installing, with proper network configuration for your network.

From text console or using SSH, login with the user created in the Fedora 21 installation and become root for the Amahi installation

 sudo su -

After that, type these commands in the console: 

  rpm -Uvh http://f21.amahi.org/noarch/hda-release-6.9.0-1.noarch.rpm
  yum -y install mariadb-libs mariadb-server
  yum -y install rsyslog avahi
  yum -y install hda-ctl hda-platform
  hda-install YOUR-INSTALL-CODE

What this does is this: Installs the Amahi F21 repo, gets the mariadb base packages to avoid dependency conflicts, and installs base Amahi packages (that part should install several packages).

If there are no errors, install Amahi (replace YOUR-INSTALL-CODE above with install code you got when creating a profile at your Amahi control panel).

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

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


Next you need to transition your network to use it!

Transitioning to your Amahi server

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

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