Can I use Amahi like this?

Postby comley » Wed Oct 12, 2016 8:37 am

Hi, i’m a complete newb re amahi / linux but experienced windows user.
I'm building my own nas/ server - mostly for media. Will use plug-ins (eg LMS for my music).
1 smallish disk for the software plus 2 x 3tb disks for my files.
I want to run the server software / plug-ins etc on 1st disk and copy files onto other disks - I manage what goes where.
No redundancy required – just simple file storage.
In the event that hardware fails (eg motherboard or 1st disk) I can then transfer the "storage" disks to another box and/ or re-install the server software – and / or the disks can be read by some other software.
Is this possible with Amahi ?
Big thanks in advance.

Yes. It works just like any server, except there is a nice web UI front end and prepacked applications available as a one-click install.

There are some advanced steps required to mount hard disks and move shares to those drives, but the wiki has lots of help.

Ensure you follow the guidance at http://docs.amahi.org to install the latest version, Amahi 9 on Fedora 23.
