Included in this release a fix for the VPN module where newer upstream releases of OpenVPN and Amahi’s default configuration prevented some users from authenticating, denying VPN access to their Amahi Linux Home Server (that’s not nice!). The new VPN module contains a more production-ready setup, using the PAM authentication plugin to OpenVPN. This release includes package [...]

Included in this release is a fix for a minor bug that affected some new Amahi users where they could not access the setup pages in their Amahi HDA dashboard.

Exciting news! We are announcing one of Amahi’s most important point releases to date (v8.22). The impact of this release will be barely noticed by most Amahi users, but it lays the foundation to make Amahi accesible to a much wider user base. OK, that might be a little dramatic; there is one feature all users will [...]

This update provides features for the HDA control daemon to support the upcoming platform improvements. Also included are some improvements to the Amahi installer to make it the best home server out there!

A small but important feature is included to the platform software to pave the way for major new features. This allows upgrading the DB schema easily when needed on upgrades. Also included is a fix to the default authentication mechanism for Samba to shared. A new share is also included for the default location for windows [...]

Weeee! Amahi Wall papers! 

We just fully released a new dynamic DNS system and a much improved new version of the installer for the Amahi Linux Home Server. The new dynamic DNS system is fully automatic and does not require configuration files. It also has other major advantages, in that it blends into the Amahi API. The new installer is a [...]

This update includes PBA version 0.23, our full-disk backup app. The application web interface now skips adding up partition sizes for extended partitions. Prior to this, disks with extended partitions would be reported to be larger than the actual disk, because extended partitions would be counted towards the size of the disk, even though they don’t [...]

Version 8.16 includes a new and improved installer, much more user friendly! It also includes a new version of the Amahi daemon with a new dynamic DNS system.

This update contains an improved version of the utility called hda-theme-generator to generate theme skeletons was included. The utility can now be built as an RPM, contains new “generic” images and generated themes install successfully completely out of the box.

One of the most important concerns with home networking is ease of use. To this end, we have been developing themes for the Amahi Linux Home Server, to make it more user friendly to use. We’d like to announce the pre-alpha version of a theme generator for Amahi Linux Home Server. It’s almost there to get it working! [...]

We just released hda-app-torrents-0.4, with fixes for the Amahi torrents app (based on torrentflux) so that the proper config files are copied in the right places in the web server config directories. Under some conditions, this would not happen and the app was not accessible even though it was installed. You should have the updates by now. when [...]

Having revamped the website and prepared “behind the scenes” for scaling to serve thousands of users, the core team at Amahi has turned its attention to the most important thing — the Amahi HDA. Before delving into some detail, first a comment on our goal. Ultimately we want the Amahi HDA to be for the average [...]

Hey! Great news! We are happy to announce a new theme, called iHama Candy. It’s a variation of the iHama theme with a darker look. It’s grey in tone, with a white logo and, as the name implies, some “eye candy” colors for the icons. Kudos go to our theme expert Gerald! Wouldn’t you know it, we have [...]
