Announcing TurnKey Linux 12.0: 100+ ready-to-use solutions

 

Ladies and gentlemen, the 12.0 release is finally out after nearly 6 months of development and just in time to celebrate TurnKey's 4th anniversary. I'm proud to announce we've more than doubled the size of the TurnKey Linux library, from 45 appliances to over 100!

TurnKey Core 12.0 RC optimized builds

Last month we announced the release candidate for TurnKey Core 12.0 - the common base for all appliances, based on the rock solid Debian Squeeze (6.0.4).

New Hub feature: Server snapshots

I usually get excited when adding new features to the TurnKey Hub. Recent excitement included server monitoring, reserved instances, domain management, and the Hub API.

I'm very excited about todays annoucement, not only is it awesomely useful, it's also technically cool!

TurnKey Core 12.0 RC based on Debian Squeeze

I'm pleased to announce a spanking brand new release candidate for TurnKey Core 12.0 - the common base for all appliances, based on the rock solid Debian Squeeze (6.0.4). The rumors were true! Hurrah! Hurrah!

This is an RC release, so take it for a spin and let us know what you think. If you come across any issues, please report them. If you have ideas on how to make it better, let us know!

Rsync the entire TurnKey library from a mirror close to you in under 5 minutes!

Like TurnKey so much you want a local copy of all the appliances but too lazy to download individual appliance images from SourceForge by hand via browser?

I know exactly how you feel. Sloth is a virtue, and in the beginning was the command line.

So now you can use rsync or ftp to batch download the entire virtual appliance library in whatever build type you like best from a high-speed mirror near you. The way the net gods intended!

Announcing TurnKey OpenStack optimized builds

As we mentioned before, making TurnKey easy to deploy on as many public and private clouds is an important goal for us. Unfortunately there are too many players in the cloud software space for us to support every single one. It's much easier to put effort into making TurnKey work well with the winning horses.

Announcing TurnKey OpenVZ optimized builds (+ Proxmox VE channel)

OpenVZ and Proxmox VE has been a recurring topic of discussion on the forums, for which we have Jeremy to blame thank. He's done tons of research, testing, preaching, and then some.

What I love about Open Source is that if you have an itch, and the drive to scratch it yourself, you can.

TurnKey 11.3 maintenance release - next stop Ubuntu 12.04!

We've just pushed out TurnKey 11.3 - the final maintenance release based on Ubuntu 10.04. The next release will be based on Ubuntu 12.04. We're already shifting into high gear for that. There will be surprises. Hopefully good ones!

New Hub feature: Cloud server monitoring

Ladies and gentle geeks, I'm proud to announce we've just pushed out 100% free basic server monitoring to all TurnKey Hub accounts. This should make it easier to keep tabs on the health and performance of your cloud servers. Existing Hub users don't need to do anything to enjoy this new feature. It just works.

A better server dashboard

As you can see in the screenshot below, the server dashboard now includes thumbnail graphs of CPU utilization, disk IO and network traffic for the last hour:
