{{AdvancedUsersMessageBox|backgroundcolor = #faa|image =Warning.png|heading =WARNING|message = Amahi application [https://www.amahi.org/apps/greyhole-ui Greyhole UI] provides this capability. Manual setup recommended for Advanced users '''ONLY'''!}}The following guidance is provided to assist users with setting up [[Greyhole]] in Amahi 7or greater. This has been tested with no issues, however the recommended method of install is via [https://www. Please note this is <u>ONLY<amahi.org/apps/u> a work around until greyhole-ui Greyhole is integrated into the Amahi 7 UI] plugin with dashboardintegration.
<b>NOTE:</b> There is no guarantee this will work for you or not cause problems with your Amahi 7 /8 install. Please proceed with caution as carelessness could cause data loss. Also you might want to check out the [[Greyhole]] wiki page for additional information, such as working with shares locally on the HDA.
As [[Open_Terminal_as_root|root user]], perform the following steps:
Initialize the basic settings for Greyhole, configure /etc/greyhole.conf:
* Make sure the settings for the database are correct: <u>''db_user</u> '' and <u>''db_password</u> '' should be <i>''greyhole</i>''
* Add a line for each drive in the storage pool at the end of the file. The example below is for two drives:
<pre>storage_pool_drive storage_pool_directory = /var/hda/files/drives/drive2/gh, min_free: 10gbstorage_pool_drive storage_pool_directory = /var/hda/files/drives/drive3/gh, min_free: 10gb</pre>
:'''NOTE''': If you have not initialized your newly added hard drives, refer to [[Adding_a_second_hard_drive_to_your_HDA|adding new hard drives]].
* Now configure the number of copies per share. The example below sets the shares as follows:
** Books: max copies (which is 2 for 2 drives)
* If you intend to modify or work with your files locally on the HDA, refer to [[Mount_Shares_Locally|Mount Shares Locally]] for guidance.
