Installing Amahi 9 Beta from Scratch
Install Fedora 23
There are two ways to install Fedora: Minimal (CD), so-called Netinstall, which is recommended, and the Full (DVD) install for cases that need more hardware support.
Minimal (CD) Install
We recommend this method for a quick download and fast installation.
Download the Fedora 23 Netinstall CD for 64 bit (415MB).
- Fedora 23 Netinstall 64-bit (http)
Burn the ISO to CD (or DVD), insert the DVD into your server, reboot the system, and follow the Fedora 23 Minimal Install instructions.
Full (DVD) Install
This is only recommended for cases where the Minimal (CD) Install does not work well (e.g. if your hardware needs extra drivers).
Download the Fedora 23 Server DVD for 64 bit (2.0 GB), preferably using torrents
- Fedora 23 Server 64-bit (http)
- Fedora 23 Server 64-bit (torrent)
Instructions are being developed for Fedora 23 Server Install.
Upgrading Amahi 8 to Amahi 9 Beta
Preparation
We recommend you turn on a temporary DHCP server, (e.g. in your router) since the network may go down for the duration of the actual upgrade.
All commands are executes as root
user or precede commands with sudo
- Works best if apps are uninstalled
- Back up your data as a precaution
- Update everything in the system:
yum -y update
- Reboot to pick up new kernels, etc:
shutdown -r now
- Update everything in the system again:
yum -y update
- If there are any updates, do it again. If there are new kernels, reboot:
shutdown -r now
Execution
Install the upgrade tool:
yum -y install fedup
Do the live update over the network:
fedup -y --network 23 --nogpgcheck
Once the previous fedup command is complete, you will be prompted to run:
dnf system-upgrade reboot
The actual upgrade will take place now, so you will not be able to access the server (or possibly the network) until it is complete.
It would be good to have a monitor/keyboard on the system to cover the risk that the upgrade process becomes stuck somehow. This also should let you keep up with progress.
Be aware it may take 15 to 30 minutes at a minimum for the upgrade to complete, depending on your hardware.
