Revision as of 04:03, 11 September 2008
I started using and testing Amahi in Sept. 09 - starting with helping to test Fedora 9. Enough about that.. I'm using this page to keep bookmarks for related technology I'm looking at trying to use with Amahi. Or just fun looking stuff that would be cool to do with it.
Contents
Networking & Backups
PBA backups don't seem possible with default Mac OS X 10.x BIOS, so maybe running Netboot server on HDA would help somehow. Probably not helpful with backups, but at least letting, say, a Macbook network boot would be really cool.
- Mac OS X BSDP Service using a GNU/Linux Server
- Etherboot howtos
- system rescue cd might be able to boot it, then let PBA take over
- I also wonder if some sort of VM could be run on any client and that would help run some more complex rsync incrementals.. hmm
Mapping Applications
Some simple clients apps:
- OpenLayers
- Allow data upload to home folder, then run my custom indexing scripts
VPN & Security
Some systems don't support OpenVPN but rather want IPSec-based VPN.
- It might be worth investigating the use of FreeS/WAN VPN architecture. Wouldn't it be cool to support BOTH with Amahi! Then I assume a large swath of potential enterprise software would connect to it (including my phone!).
Key Management
It would nice for the user management web tools to make it easy to access users public ssh keys, especially if there can be some good instructions for installing them. Perhaps this could be used to mount drives easier without having to log in.
Databases
Sometime people like to have their own little databases - e.g. for a small workgroup. So, like the file sharing capabilities I would like to see some phpMysql sort of apps that allow simple creation of tables and GUIs for running basic reports. I haven't done this in a long time, so I'm unaware of what is available, but keeping it listed here for a rainy day. I think it would be a cool app for small biz examples.
