Hi,

Chances are if you're reading this, you have applied for a TurnKey website user account.

Considering that 95% of all signups are spammers and/or seo farmers, plus the hammering the site has got from spammers earlier in the year, blocking auto signups was probably overdue. However, it can be really hard to tell the difference between a potential spammer and a legitimate user. So I'm almost certain that I delete legitimate accounts when I cleanup the obvious spammer ones.

So this thread has 2 main purposes:

  1. A place where prospective users, waiting for account approval, can introduce themselves, share a little about what they are using TurnKey for and demonstrate that they are a legitimate human; and
  2. A place where TurnKey users who are looking for support can post their question(s)/issue(s) while they are awaiting account approval.

Intro post

The first is pretty self explanatory, but I anticipate that spammers and seo farmers will want to try to game the system and will likely post friendly messages in the hope that they will convince me. So if you fit into this category, please be sure to mention specifically which appliance you are running (or plan to run) and on what platform. Also if you can give some context to your username and/or email, that might help me too. I'm not going to go into what sort of things I use to tell the difference (because spammers will adapt their behaviors) but I'm hoping that this will give some solid hints for legit users, but won't get read by too many spammers. One thing I can say is that the more detail you share, the harder it is to "fake" it, the more specific you can be, the less likely you are to be a spammer.

Guest support post

For the second category, please be sure to include lots of info. The reason for that is two-fold. Firstly, so I can tell you're not faking it to try to get your spam account enabled. Secondly, so that we can provide a useful response (rather than just asking you more questions). Definitely include the specific TurnKey appliance and version that you are using (and/or the output of 'turnkey-version'), plus details of the problem you are experiencing or thing you are trying to do but need advice on. Please provide as much info as possible.

Final words

If you're still reading, I'm almost certain that you aren't a spammer. Please post a new post below (as a guest). In the provided space for email address (which won't be publicly visible), please be sure to include the same email as you used for your account signup. Please note that your post may need to be manually reviewed before it is public visible.

Note too that support type posts will be moved. Other posts might be cleaned up from time to time too, so please don't be put off if there are no posts below.

Hello!  I just started using the TurnKey Linux containers today in ProxMox and am trying to make this account so I can get an API Key for gameserver's DDNS and the backup & migration api calls.  Anyway, my username's been around since 1998.  Created it to play chess on games.yahoo.com/chess, lol Thanks for your time, this post was a great help!   -supercon99

Hello, At this moment i try to migrate my website from Xampp to Turnkey version 17.1. I ran into an issue to replace the SSL certificate which i am using now on Xampp. cabundle.crt , server.crt, server.key. I bought this certificate form my hosting provider and i want to use it in Turnkey, but in Turnkey i saw that i can only use a PEM certificate. Is it possible to replace the default certificate to my own certificate and how can i do that. I tried using the following link, but i get a lot of errors, but no SSL. https://www.turnkeylinux.org/docs/confconsole/letsencrypt Also when trying to run the entire Joomla site on https i get the following error: HTTPS has not been enabled as it is not available on this server. HTTPS connection test failed with the following error: fsockopen(): unable to connect to ssl://X.X.X.X:443 (Unknown error)

Hi all, Just another new homelabber here. I've been playing around with proxmox over the last year - mostly strengthening my networking knowledge and looking at standing up services. Part of that has been learning about LXCs and docker containers, so of course I had to look into TKL. Looking to see what the API key and backup thing is all about.

Hello everyone. I just recently created my first Proxmox environment and have failed to properly configure Wireguard for the last 2 days (much frustration, still don't know what went wrong after ruining a Proxmox install). I ran in to the Turnkey CT templates being mentioned on a Reddit post so I thought I would check it out. I would like to get API access to leverage backups and the DNS service for my WG CT. Looks like there are a lot of services here that I plan on using for some other resume building projects (MySQL, Jenkins, MongoDB, NGINX). Hope to get approved to make use of all of your plethora of services. My username is a shortened version is my real name, which there are slight variations of for different services accross the web.

To get an API key for remote encrypted backups, please sign up to the Hub (the user accounts between the Hub and the website are separate).

I have also approved your TurnKey website user account so you're good to go there too.

Hello. When changing locale in admin interface in Tracks, I'm getting a message  
We're sorry, but something went wrong. If you are the application owner check the logs for more information
and cannot return back. Every time I log, I'm getting this message. Is there something I'm missing? This is reported too in the tracks issue tracker by other users https://github.com/TracksApp/tracks/issues/2690 (tried to change to 'es', locales for es-UTF8 are generated in the container using the initial setup procedure) Regards!

Hi kinu. Welcome to TurnKey. Firstly, your website user account has been created (using the email you used for this post). I st a random password so you'll need to reset your password to be able to log in.

Regarding the issue you are reporting, I can't reproduce it? I just tested and I can change the language to 'es' in the Tracks UI and it appears to work fine?! I tried logging out and back in again and still it just works...

Obviously you aren't the only one experiencing this issue, but there must be something specific that you (and the others hitting this issue) are (or aren't) doing and/or something that I am (or aren't) doing to not be able to reproduce it.

So I suggest that you start a new thread in the support section and provide more information about your install (which version, where it is running, etc) and step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue. If I can reproduce the issue, then I'm sure I can fix it.

Hi Raul, your TurnKey website user account has been created, using the email you used here. I set a random password, so you'll need to reset that before you can log in.

Having said that, if you want to use TKLBAM you will need a (separate) TurnKey Hub account. Also, please be aware, that whilst TKLBAM can still be useful in transferring data between instances, depending on the age of your old server, you may well still need to make some adjustments manually. Please check out the TKLBAM doc page for a bit more context and detail.

If you want a hand with anything and/or have questions or feedback, please feel free to start a new thread.

Is this possible? Install LAMP on linux with Browser interface like Turnkey Linux I am trying to get a Turnkey LAMP webstack vm running on virtualbox in a debian host. Or inside a debian or fedora qube in Qubes OS. Achieved installing on Virtualbox VM in a Windows host by using the iso from Turnkey Linux website. The same technique is not working for linux or qubes VMs because of virtualbox issues. Any relevant help much appreciated.

Jeremy Davis - Thu, 2023/05/04 - 02:00

Hi Draco, your account has been created. I set a random password, so you'll need to reset that before you can log in.

Re your question, TBH, I'm not completely sure what the issue might be. I'm a Linux daily driver and test our ISOs in KVM, VirtualBox and VMware WorkStation (all on Linux - Debian to be precise) and they "just work" for me?! FWIW I have hit intermittent issues with the Grub install step when installing on VMware, but that can be worked around by selecting "manual" and entering the device name manually (e.g. '/dev/sda'). AFAIK Qubes OS uses KVM.

I suggest that you start a new thread and provide some more detail about what you tried and what specific issues you hit, e.g. explicit error messages, etc.

My use case is the Redis turnkey appliance. I have issues after first boot, and I want to sign up for an account so that I can see if anyone has any ideas for what could be happening.
Jeremy Davis's picture

Jeremy Davis - Mon, 2023/06/05 - 01:01

If you are running in an LXC container (e.g. on Proxmox), you will need to run it in an unprivileged container with "nesting" enabled. Without that, Redis will have issues starting.

Otherwise, please start a new thread describing your issue(s) - the info you can give the better. If I can reproduce the issue, there is a really good chance I can work out how to resolve it (or at least hack around it).

PS apologies about ridiculously slow response. I've been very distracted over the last month (mostly non-TurnKey stuff - but I have been doing some work on the upcoming v18.x release).

Jeremy Davis's picture

Jeremy Davis - Mon, 2023/06/05 - 01:05

Firstly, apologies on such a slow response...

If you want a Hub API key, you'll need to sign up to the TurnKey Hub.

Please note that depending on how old your server is, you will likely still need to do some manual tweaks to get your data migrated and your new server up and running. The TKLBAM doc page (scroll down to third paragraph, between the horizontal lines) - gives some guidance on the expectations you can have of a TKLBAM data migration.

If it doesn't just work (which seems likely if it's quite old), please do not hesitate to open a new support thread. The more info you can give me about the appliance and the migration, and as much detail as possible about the actual issue - the easier it will be to assist you.

If you want an API key, you'll need to sign up for an account via the TurnKey Hub (the Hub has a completely separate user management system).

Jeremy Davis - Mon, 2023/06/05 - 03:50

Hi Maglin, welcome to TurnKey. Apologies on such a slow response...

If you want to enable TKLBAM (our remote, encrypted backup tool) or other TurnKey Hub features, you'll need to sign up for a separate TurnKey Hub account (the Hub has a completely separate user database).

Having said that, you can use Webmin without a Hub API key. You can use the left hand menu to jump straight to other pages. Also our Webmin doc page notes how to change the default landing page (regardless of whether you use TKLBAM or not, you may wish to set a different default landing page). Hopefully that helps?!

Hi Jeremy, I was using Nextcloud in Docker for several years, now I have started playing with Proxmox server. In the net, they say that I should not run docker in lxc (and I do not want to start vm for this use case), I decided to set up Nextcloud TKL. The Fail2Ban combined with Bruteforce protection of NC was a headache at the beginning. Now happy and running. Secondly, my wife has decided to start toying with Wordpress - so I spun up TKL for her. It is really amazing how easy that one was (as compared to NC). I have read here, that I need a separate account at HUB... Let's finish this and move over there... Cheers for the good work. Petr
Jeremy Davis's picture

Jeremy Davis - Mon, 2023/06/05 - 05:00

Hi Petr, welcome to TurnKey and apologies for my slow response...

Thanks for your kind words, although I'd be interested to hear more about the issues you had getting Nextcloud up and running. It should "just work"!? I'm glad to hear that WordPress was a bit more "TurnKey" for you.

Regarding the API key, that is optional. For self hosted servers, the Hub "Servers" are probably not that useful, but the remote encrypted backups (aka TKLBAM) should work from anywhere so long as your server has outgoing internet. FWIW TKLBAM can be used to migrate data between servers too. If you have any further Hub related questions, please don't hesitate to ask (here and/or via Hub support).

I hope that helps and good luck. If you have any further questions or feedback, please don't hesitate to start a new thread! :)

Jeremy Davis - Mon, 2023/06/05 - 05:42

Hi Siggi, apologies for slow response.

I only speak English, so I used Google Translate to translate your text and here is what I got:

Hello, I'm new here and I'm trying to install the iso: turnkey-nextcloud-17.2-bullseye-amd64.iso but it fails after installing the grub bootloader. After installation, the PC does not boot from the hard disk, even though only one is installed. Anyone an idea? and I am waiting for the account to be activated.

Could you please share some more info about where you are trying to install? Are you installing to a VM? If so, what software platform? If you're installing to bare metal, then that could be the issue perhaps? FYI our installer should work fine with most older hardware, but can have issues with newer hardware.

If you are still struggling and/or interested in following this up further, please start a new thread and I'll respond ASAP.

PS if you wouldn't mind posting in English if possible, that would be fantastic. Or if you aren't comfortable with English, then write your post in German, but then use an online translation service (such as Google Translate) and post a translation as well. That will make my life a bit easier. Thanks! :)

Hi Harry, welcome to TurnKey. Apologies on my slow response.

Your TurnKey website account is now live, so please feel free to start a new thread if you have any questions or feedback for us.

To be clear, if you wish to sign up for a TurnKey Hub account, please do that separately (the website and the Hub have separate user databases). If you are happy self hosting and are only testing (or already have a remote backup regime - i.e. don't have need for TKLBAM) then you can skip the API key step on firstboot.

Hi Justin. Welcome to TurnKey.

Firstly apologies for my slow response and extra apologies for deleting the user account you had already created. I have created a new one for you, but you'll need to reset the password before you can log in. So you should be all good now.

Please don't hesitate to start a new thread if you have any questions or feedback.

Hi there. Welcome to TurnKey. :)

You now have a TurnKey Linux website account. You'll need to reset the password to log in, but otherwise you are good to go.

If you would like an API key, you'll need to sign up to the TurnKey Hub (it has a separate user DB).

Please don't hesitate to start a new thread if you have any questions or feedback.

Hello Team,   I have been trying to test the Zoneminder as per the Youtube link below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYFnbZgBZSM   Downloaded several ISO images and wrote them to a USB disk but they are not booting. Used Balena etcher  and rufus but they are not booting.   Ask: - is there something I need to do to get bootable ISOs? - Am I missing an steps but I didn't see anything about the ISOs. Thank you for assistance.

Your TurnKey website user account is now live. Apologies on the delays getting that set up for you. You'll need to reset the password before you can log in, otherwise you should be good to go.

WRT to "burning" the ISO to USB, it should "just work"!? On Linux it's super easy, you literally just copy the ISO to the USB device. E.g. if the USB is /dev/sdb (make sure you use the right device and be sure to unmount the USB if it's already mounted) then this should "just work":

cp /path/to/turnkey-zoneminder-17.2-bullseye-amd64.iso /dev/sdb

Having said that, my guess is that you aren't using Linux, so that's likely not of much value. I have never heard of, nor used Balena etcher - but a quick google suggests that it should be more than capable of doing what is required. I haven't used it for years, but Rufus was always pretty good in my experience.

Our ISO is pretty basic and the fact that you tried 2 options suggests to me that the issue may be that your hardware is too new for our installer. If you're still interested in floowing up on this, please start a new thread and provide some more info on the issue you're encoutnering, including the hardware you're trying to us, any specific error messages you see, etc. Please also feel free to attach screenshots to your post (please note that you've done that and I'll tweak them so they display).

Whilst our ISO does support hardware install, it doesn't have great hardware support and doesn't support UEFI boot at all. Most older hardware will allow you to change to a "legacy boot" mode (and you'll also need to disable "Secure Boot" too). So I'd try that (you'll need to poke around in your UEFI/BIOS for the relevant options).

If it seems that hardware incompatibility is the issue, then in my opinion, your best bet is to install it as a VM. If you have some hardware that you particularly want to use for this project, I'd recommend installing a hypervisor, such as ProxmoxVE. Then just install TurnKey Zoneminder as a VM. Note that on Proxmox you could download our LXC template instead, but I recommend a "proper" VM for minimal fuss.

Hello, I am registering as I just installed ProxMox on my home server and am setting up an LGSM LXC using TurnKey.  The setup mentioned DDNS through a TurnKey API, so I was interested. Thank you, Liam

Jeremy Davis - Mon, 2023/06/05 - 08:17

Hi there. FWIW your other post showed up too (it's just that they were both flagged as needing explicit approval by me before being published).

I have created a new website account for you. You'll just need to reset the password and you should be good to go.

For the DDNS service, you'll need to sign up to the TurnKey Hub. Note that you'll need an AWS account and need to start a free trial of the most popular paid plans we offer. However, you can cancel the free trial by downgrading both the server and backup plans to free.

Another option is that under the hood, TurnKey is based on Debian GNU/Linux. So any DDNS client should be an option. Many DDNS providers and even some Domain registrars provide their own client and/or recommend a specific client.

If you'd like to discuss more, please open a new thread and we'll go from there.

I'm a private person, hence the username. I keep a tiny footprint. Alpine tiny. Tiny Core tiny.  I'm a lurker in the corner, quiet, keeping an "eye" on everything and everyone. Such a waste of time. They ruin it always. Switched to Linux full time (finally). Old (and bitter lol) IT admin since DOS. Looking to TKL to modularize and save time. Time is more valuable than money. I don't like to post. I don't spam. Ever. I barely chat. Too focused. Quickly Approve please. Many Thanks. FOSS FTW. That is all.

Sorry that it was a bit of a pain, but your account is now live and you're good to go.

Whilst you may prefer not to post, please do not hesitate to ask if you have questions and/or want my 2c on stuff. I'd also be super appreciative if you have any feedback that you'd like to share. I can't guarantee that I will cater to every suggestion you have, but I always love to hear when things don't work as they should or what rough edges we might be able to smooth, etc. So your seasoned input would be very appreciated.

Hi Chris, welcome to TurnKey! :)

If you want an API key, you can sign up to the TurnKey Hub, but please be aware that it's not neccessary. You can skip the API key step on firstboot.

Or are you just wanting to improve your SEO?

I hate to be rude, but a huge amount of the SEO spam that was getting posted was from your country so I'm a bit skeptical.

If you are genuinely interested in TurnKey, please share a bit more about what you hope to achieve with it and how you plan to use it.

Hi Marta. To get a Hub API key, you need to sign up for a Hub account (the user systems are separate).

I have also enabled your TurnKey website account (if you want to post on the forums again).

If you have further struggles signing up to the Hub, please reach out via support AT turnkeylinux.org - or use the chat box in the bottom right corner of any page on the Hub.

Welcome to TurnKey.

That sounds pretty cool. So long as you can support your lifestyle, I agree. I work on/with TurnKey full time, but similar to you, it's not about the money (if it was I'd be doing something else, earning much, much more). TurnKey is my passion and I'm pretty lucky to be able to choose to do a job I love.

Please feel free to open a new thread if you have issues or questions. Hopefully DocuWiki will "just work" for you! If not please ask. Also any other feedback you have for us, please share.
