Contents
Amahi 7 (Express-Disc)
- The express-disc installation method is the primary installation method for Amahi 7 with Fedora 19 and as such, upgrades from prior versions of Fedora are not advised, since very much has changed since older versions of Fedora.
- This installation method works with both physical and virtual machine systems.
- Separate wiki articles are in the works for transitioning old storage/ shares to new installations.
- Note that this installation is for x64 (64-bit) systems only.
- also see Amahi 7 release notes
Installation Guide Video!
Please see the video tutorial for installation
Installation Guide
Please reference the Amahi Documentation
x86 / 32-Bit installations
Note that the Express disc is a x64 (64-bit) installation only.
For x86/32-bit installation intructions, see the Amahi 7 full DVD page.
GUI Installation
As a desktop environment is not installed. Please take a look at our GUI install wiki page for this.
Web App Feature Work Around
Currently there is no option for Adding a web share / app manually like in Amahi 6. Until the feature is available, those who need the feature can follow the guidance here.
Greyhole
Currently there is no Dashboard add-on to setup and configure Greyhole for Amahi 7. This must be done manually using the following guidance as root user:
- Install the package (to get the latest version, follow upgrade guidance):
bash code yum -y install hda-greyhole
- Set up a mysql database and user to access it:
bash code hda-create-db-and-user greyhole
- Load the database schema:
bash code mysql -u greyhole -pgreyhole greyhole < /usr/share/greyhole/schema-mysql.sql
Initialize the basic settings for Greyhole, configure /etc/greyhole.conf:
- Change db_user and db_password to greyhole.
- Add a line for each drive (go here for adding new hard drives) in the storage pool at the end of the file. The example below is for two drives:
Text storage_pool_directory = /var/hda/files/drives/drive2/gh, min_free: 10gb storage_pool_directory = /var/hda/files/drives/drive3/gh, min_free: 10gb
NOTE: Although the /etc/greyhole.conf contents indicate storage_pool_drive, it should be storage_pool_directory. If you don't set it correctly, Greyhole will not work.
- Now configure the number of copies per share. The example below sets the shares as follows:
- Books for max copies (which is 1 for 2 drives)
- Pictures for 1 copy (which is the same as max)
- Movies for no copies
Text num_copies[Books] = 999 num_copies[Pictures] = 2 num_copies[Movies] = 1
NOTE: For a system with 2 Greyhole drives, 1 copy is the max. The first Greyhole drive holds the master copy and the second a copy. The share will contain a symbolic link to the master.
- In the Dashboard, Shares tab add the following to Extra Parameters for each share you will be configuring to use Greyhole:
Text dfree command = /usr/bin/greyhole-dfree vfs objects = greyhole
- Finally, enable greyhole permanently and start the service:
bash code systemctl enable greyhole.service systemctl start greyhole.service
- You can monitor activity by watching /var/log/greyhole.log file:
bash code tail -f /var/log/greyhole.log
