→What are Plugins
At the user level, plugins are installed like other apps from the Amahi app store. They are not a general purpose app, but rather a module that is added to the Amahi dashboard and setup areas for adding features. We have a few examples of plugins:
* [https://www.amahi.org/apps/db-backups Backing up databasesDatabase Backups] for some apps residing inside an HDA
* [https://www.amahi.org/apps/pooling Greyhole UI] provide dashboard UI as in Amahi 6
* [https://www.amahi.org/apps/web-apps Webapps], which adds the ability to manually add webapps -- (useful for developers)* [https://www.amahi.org/apps/disk-stats Disk statsStats] plugin to monitor more detailed disk information* [https://www.amahi.org/apps/disk-wizard Disk wizardWizard], to easily add new drives onto an Amahi system(in '''development'')
= Technical Description =
We have a generator for coming up with a skeleton for a plugin. See the technical documentation for help. Also, the [https://github.com/amahi Amahi GitHub page] contains sources for several of the plugins we have built, from smaller showcase examples to more complex plugins.
Plugins can automatically do "migrations", which are changes to the database structure of the platform. This is a little dangerous and should be done with care, but it's a really powerful feature.
