add vnc linkages
* [[Blog]] - for running a [http://WordPress.org WordPress] blogging environment.
* [[Mediawiki]] - for running an alternative to the built-in Amahi MoinMoin wiki. You can use the popular Mediawiki platform instead through this package.
* [[WebVNC]] - a Java-based web client for VNC server access across platforms. Using TightVNC package.
I've looked at several others as well and will add more when my needs arise. Since many require databases, I focus on using ones that can handle SQLite so that you don't need to configure the Amahi MySQL db at all.
== Branding ==
* <s>Setting '''Firefox''' default home page URL to amahi.org.</s>
** Would be cool to set the live bookmarks and other defaults as well
** See [[FirefoxDefaults]] for my progress.
* <a>Set desktop icon for '''Amahi Setup''' to point to app launcher Firefox -> HDA address.</s>
== Applications ==
* [[ImapServer]] - based on [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=715689 these instructions] and [http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=373D708A23ED400C9237DB347033149C%40buddylaptop&forum_name=amahi-devel this email]
* What will be done for installing new web apps? Will there be a common online repository location? Any sort of validation/certification of the app? This could be where HDA really takes off, so I'm thrilled to see the web-app setup tab working well.
** A '''gallery''' is already underway at: [http://amahi.org/apps amahi.org/apps] which provides overviews and links to web-apps.
** '''Update:''' Some simple configuration worked well for basic browsing. However the various HDA-specific names in the DNS failed. Read more on the [[SquidConfiguration]] page.
* '''Monitoring''' of HDA, plus all hosts in HDA subnet, including uptime, failures, etc. using something like [http://www.nagios.org/ Nagios]
* VNC applications are pretty critical to running headless servers sometimes. I looked into some of the options and followed the basic logic from [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=107503 this article talking about how to set up a Java-based client] in a web browser - e.g. so you don't have to download some platform specific thing. Worked great. Jst a bit complex on the server side to get vnc going.
** I'm working on this here: HDA [[WebVNC]]
