Amahi 11 Install

Welcome to Amahi 11!

These instructions below will guide you through the Amahi 11 Express CD installation, step by step, with screenshots. This is the recommended method for quick download and fast setup. However, some users have identified issues with this install method relating to applications. The alternate install method below provides the best solution for most.

Should the Amahi 11 Express CD not work for you, there are two alternate install methods: Minimal CD (a.k.a. Netinstall) or Full DVD (provides additional hardware support).

NOTES:

• The only officially supported install media is Fedora 27 Server.
• Ensure your system meets the minimum hardware requirements for Amahi before proceeding.
• 32-bit installs are not available nor supported in Amahi 11.
• NOT ALL apps in previous Amahi versions are available for Amahi 11. Check the App Store before proceeding.

For assistance, visit the Amahi Forums or live support on the Amahi IRC channel.

Prerequisites

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.

Next you need to transition your network to use it!

Transitioning to your Amahi server

Once installed, you will want to transition your network to using your Amahi server. Here are some of the things you should know:

• Your server will boot with the static IP you pre-configured in the Amahi control panel
• This is a headless server, therefore it will boot to a text console. There is no desktop user interface. Installing the Desktop (e.g. GNOME) interface will break DNS/DHCP and make the HDA as an unsuitable network server (details)
• It's strongly recommended you follow the transition to Amahi HDA guide to get your network fully working properly
• You can verify if the dashboard is available by accessing it from any client using the IP address of your server http://IPADDRESS/ or http://hda/ (in most Windows clients this works even without DNS from your HDA)
• The first time you access the dashboard, you will need to log in with user name and password as noted above in Prerequisites.

  

  
  
• Once you reach your dashboard, recommend you configure your HDA settings, create/manage shares, add more storage space, install apps, etc.

  

  
  
• Optionally refer to Greyhole to install/configure storage pooling.
