Welcome to the Amahi Wiki!
The Amahi home server is a server for home and home office environments.
Our focus is to build a home and personal server with usability, cross-platform standards compliance and coolness in mind.
More simply, the Amahi server is meant to make home networking simple.
It is meant to be installed by somewhat technical users, for the benefit of those less technical users. Every technical user we know has others who he/she helps run their "digital lives," like spouses, kids, neighbors, cousins, elder relatives, etc.
We set out to build a "PDA for the home" usable by everyone in a home or a small business. To describe what the Amahi server is, we came up with a term: HDA ... like a PDA, but for the home: Home Digital Assistant.
It provides all the things you would want in a home server:
- Calendaring, Wiki
- Shared network storage, Network Backups

- ... (see below)
