Plugin System
Description
Make the ability to create and install Amahi plugins easy and enable the creation of those plugins for a variety of purposes, like SMART monitoring, system stuff (network scanning, etc.) and the two examples below for the disk wizard and the Greyhole UI, among other ideas.
Objective
Create an amahi plugin system, where PHP, Python, Node, and other modern webapps can be easily integrated. We can currently do this with some RoR engines, but the mechanism is not robust enough.
Expected result
The plugins system should allow modern web-based apps to be easily integrated with Amahi -- from Node.js apps to Ruby/PHP/Python -- so that users can easily reap the benefits of the onslaught of difficult-to-deploy modern web apps with a single click install.

Hard
- Add support for UPnP control of home routers from within the setup pages, e.g. to easily and dynamically control settings like DHCP server enable/disable, port forwarding, etc.
- Add support for Ubuntu or, in general, debian-based distributions
- Add support for an Android based distribution
- Enhance REST API to support management from other interfaces (eg. Android, iPhone)
- Build Android or iPhone interface to control home server
- Integrate one of the more complex applications, such as
- MythTV back-end
- FUPPES UPnP server (or other UPnP/DLNA server, eg. uShare, mediatomb)
- firewall (Shorewall, moonwall, ...)
- Asterisk
- OpenPBX
- Integration of LDAP as a back-end management system
- Feature development (examples):
- Easily change domain/DHCP settings managed by Amahi
- Use external and internal domain (internet/intranet)
- Change share servers to use a plugin system to allow each share to select which server they use
- Browseable selection of files and paths in dashboard
- Ability to add/mount disks via browser interface
- Seamlessly add drives as an option for share points
Medium
- Integrate a mail server
- Enhance the theme engine to handle mainstream templates directly or with minimal configuration (e.g. Drupal, Wordpress, or others)
- Replace BIND as DNS server by a more dynamic, reconfigurable DNS server
- Build an integrated contact manager application
Easy
- Improve the theme engine to handle more sophisticated themes
- For the more design-oriented, build new and exciting themes
Plus, of course we are open to suggestions. Open a dialog. We're happy to discuss and determine a suitable project.
For other ideas, review our page on how to Contribute. Then explore our suggestions forum and our new bug tracker (features suggested).
Amahi is a platform that will support the deployment of other open source applications. If you are interested in the integration of applications in your area of interest, just contact us with suggestions.
