Magento is a feature-rich, professional open-source eCommerce solution that offers merchants complete flexibility and control over the look, content, and functionality of their online store. Features includes powerful marketing, merchandising and content management. Magento is designed for scalability and is backed by an extensive support network.

This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

  • Magento configurations:
    • Installed from upstream source code (via git/composer) to /var/www/magento

      Security note: Updates to Magento may require supervision so they ARE NOT configured to install automatically. See below for updating Magento.

    • Includes Elasticsearch (installed from upstream apt repo).
    • Hourly cron job for maintenance.
  • SSL support out of the box.
  • Adminer administration frontend for MySQL (listening on port 12322 - uses SSL).
  • Postfix MTA (bound to localhost) to allow sending of email from web applications (e.g., password recovery)
  • Webmin modules for configuring Apache2, PHP, MySQL and Postfix.
