The following are unsupported install methods for installing Fedora 21 with a graphical user environment, more commonly referred to as Desktop.
Initial testing indicated these appear to work with Amahi 8, but there is no guarantee and we cannot fully support them.
WARNING: NOT ALL apps available in Amahi 7 are fully operational for Amahi 8. Check the App Store before proceeding.
Contents
Workstation (DVD) Install
Download the Fedora 21 Live Workstation DVD for 64 bit (1.37GB).
Live Workstation 64-bit (http)
Burn the ISO to DVD or USB), insert the media into your server, reboot the system, and follow the Fedora 21 Live Workstation Install instructions.
LXDE (CD) Install
Download the Fedora 21 Live LXDE CD for 64 bit (869MB)
Live LXDE 64-bit (http)
Burn the ISO to CD/DVD (or USB), insert the media into your server, reboot the system, and follow the Fedora 21 Live LXDE Install instructions.
Install Amahi 8
Next, install Amahi 8 proper on top of Fedora 21.
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.
From text console or using SSH, login with the user created in the Fedora 21 installation and become root for the Amahi installation
sudo su -
After that, type these commands in the console:
rpm -Uvh http://f21.amahi.org/noarch/hda-release-6.9.0-1.noarch.rpm yum -y install mariadb-libs mariadb-server yum -y install hda-ctl hda-platform hda-install YOUR-INSTALL-CODE
What this does is this: Installs the Amahi F21 repo, gets the mariadb base packages to avoid dependency conflicts, and installs base Amahi packages (that part should install several packages).
If there are no errors, install Amahi (replace YOUR-INSTALL-CODE above with install code you got when creating a profile at your Amahi control panel).
If all goes well, it should tell you to reboot. Go ahead and reboot!
Once it comes back from the reboot, you should have a fully functional home server using the IP address you set up in your network!
Next you need to transition your network to use it!
Transitioning to using 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
- 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 it will initialize, ask you to login, and enter a dashboard password. This is the First Admin User created earlier in the Fedora 21 installation.
- Once you reach your dashboard, you should create shares as needed, add more drives, install apps, etc., etc.
- Optionally refer to Greyhole to install/configure storage pooling.
