Amahi 7 will be the last release for 32-bit. = Install Fedora =* Install Fedora 21 '''minimal''' ... '''NOT''' the Desktop:** Boot, choose Install Fedora, choose language; then in software selection choose '''minimal install'''** This is '''NOT''' the default and is at the bottom of the list. Don't forget to remove the DVD after installing and before rebooting.* Choose a proper [[Hard_Drive_Partition_Scheme|hard drive partitioning scheme]]: THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. Avoid LVM and set extra disks separatly* '''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.* After a minimal install one needs to login as root first (in a text console)* Login with the user and become root for the rest of the installation sudo su - = Install Amahi =* Install the Amahi repo by hand with: <nowiki>rpm -Uvh http://f21.amahi.org/noarch/hda-release-6.9.0-1.noarch.rpm</nowiki>* Get the mariadb base packages (this is to avoid dependency conflicts) yum -y install mariadb-libs mariadb-server* Try installing both hda-ctl and hda-platform. This should install a lot of dependencies with them yum -y install hda-ctl hda-platform* If that works, '''and only if that works''', do the Amahi install (also as root; replace YOUR-INSTALL-CODE with the code you set up in Amahi.org): hda-install YOUR-INSTALL-CODE* If that fails, check the [[Express_Disc_troubleshooting|Express Disc troubleshooting]] page. For help, please fpaste the log (you may have to yum -y install fpaste). The log should be in /root/hda-install-*.log* If all goes well, it should tell you to reboot = Post Install Notes =* It will boot with the static IP you preconfigured 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 '''<nowiki>http://hda</nowiki>'''* The first time it will initialize and will ask you to login to create a dashboard password for the admin user you created = Upgrading from Amahi 7/F19 = See [[Amahi_8_Upgrade|Amahi 8 Upgrade]] guidance. = Install Media Testing =# Server Full DVD Headless (2.1GB download)#* Installed Amahi 8 without issues# [http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/21/Workstation/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-21-5.iso Workstation Live DVD] Desktop (1.5GB)#* Not configurable for minimal install#* Install and start OpenSSH server #**<code>yum -y install openssh-server</code>#**<code>systemctl enable sshd.service</code>#**<code>systemctl start sshd.service</code>#* SSH into OS to complete install steps#* Installed Amahi 8 without issues# [http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/21/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-21.iso Server Netinstall CD] Headless (440MB)#* May take longer to install depending on internet connection speed as packages are downloaded from Fedora repositories#* Installed Amahi 8 without issues<br />:'''NOTE:''' USB install using the above methods has not been tested. = Hopeful features =* New disk wizard* Per app database backup/restore* Extra parameters for Samba [Global] area ([https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1341 Bug 1341])* Pre defined extra parameters for Shares = Apps Availability =* There are over 200 [https://www.amahi.org/apps Amahi applications] currently '''<font color="green">LIVE</font>''' or in '''<font color="orange">BETA</font>''' status.* Popular apps '''<font color="green">LIVE</font>''':**[[Greyhole]] and [https://www.amahi.org/apps/greyhole-ui Greyhole UI]**[https://www.amahi.org/apps/amahi-sync Amahi sync]**[https://www.amahi.org/apps/openvpn OpenVPN]**[https://www.amahi.org/apps/dlna DLNA]**[https://www.amahi.org/apps/owncloud-8 ownCloud 8]** [https://www.amahi.org/apps/amahi-anywhere Amahi Anywhere]* Popular apps in '''<font color="orange">BETA</font>''':**[https://www.amahi.org/apps/ipsec-vpn IPsec VPN] = How to Help =There are several ways to help:* If you are a contributor, make sure you get a machine running with Amahi 8 and get your apps to run on it* If you want to test the install, get a VM and an ISO file of the base OS and let's testMaintenance ONLY! This is probably the best way to help without deep technical knowledge.* If you want to help with the platform, get in the Amahi [[Mailing list]] and get some patches going. Ruby and RoR can help here.* Testing and porting themes will also help* Want to develop a new theme? Check the [[How to Create a new Theme]] page* Stop by and hang out on our IRC Channel #Amahi on irc.freenode.net}}
