NOTE: Ensure your system meets the minimum requirements for Amahi before proceeding. Currently there is NO Express CD/DVD available.
Download the Fedora DVD
NOTES:
- 32-bits IS NOT available nor supported in Amahi 8
- You need to install Fedora 21 first (minimal, if headless is desired, which is what we recommend) before installing Amahi 8 on it
First, download the Fedora 21 Server DVD for 64 bit (1.91GB), preferably using torrents
- Torrents:
- Primary: Fedora 21 Server 64-bit (torrent)
- Alternate: Fedora 21 Server 64-bit (torrent)
- Direct http download:
- Primary: Fedora 21 Server 64-bit (http)
- Alternate: Fedora 21 Server 64-bit (http)
Install
Fedora
- Boot, choose Install Fedora, choose language
- Choose the hard drive partitioning scheme
* This is important. ONLY select one drive, and avoid LVM
- DON'T change the hostname (it may create issues)
- Click on Begin Installation and the installer will proceed
- Create a user with a password. Make sure it's an admin user. Recommend creating a root password.
- Once install completes, don't forget to remove the DVD after installing and before rebooting.
- Upon reboot, login with the user and become root for the Amahi installation
sudo su -
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.
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 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, 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 from the your Amahi control pane).
If all goes well, it should tell you to reboot!
Once it comes back, you should have a fully functional home server. Next you need to transition your network to use it!
Expectations
- It will boot with the static IP you pre-configured in the Amahi control panel
- You can verify if the dashboard is available by accessing from any client using the IP address.
- It's strongly recommended that you turn off the previous DHCP server and let Amahi handle DHCP so that DNS falls into place
- Reboot all the clients to get them to use your Amahi server
- Your Amahi dashboard should be available at http://hda
- The first time it will initialize, ask you to login, and enter a dashboard password for the admin user created earlier
- Optional refer to Greyhole to install/configure storage pooling.
