GettingStarted

OK. You've just finished installing your Amahi Home Server and rebooted it (we call it an HDA - Home Digital Assistant for short). Now what do you do?

Well, the first thing is to connect to your HDA from a computer on your network. Simply enter hda (http://hda) in the URL for your browser and you'll find yourself looking at your HDA home page.

To get going we recommend the first things you do are:

• Create a user to access shares
• Create a share for storing/sharing files in your network

Create A User

To create a user

1. use the setup link (http://setup)
2. select the Users tab
3. press the "New User" button
4. enter information for the user and press the "Create button"

Create A Share

To create a share

1. use the setup link (http://setup)
2. select the Shares tab
3. press the "New Share" button
4. enter information for the share and press the "Create button"

Once a share is created you can specify more details about it. Click on the Share you just created and you can specify

• whether it is visible to users on your network
• which specific users can access (read) or write to the share
• what sort of information will be stored in the share

Doing More with Your HDA

Return to http://hda where you will find links to

• Setup - where you can setup your HDA (http://setup)
• My Apps - install/uninstall additional HDA_Apps (http://hda/myapps)
• Wiki - create and edit your personal Wiki (http://wiki)
• Calendars - shared calendars for everyone in your house

Of course there are a whole lot of other things you can do with your HDA (like use the VPN to have secure remote access, publish multiple calendars, etc).
