Hi supercon99, apologies on the slow turnaround (or at least the slow response). I have approved your new TurnKey website user account and reposted your question as a new thread (perhaps overkill, but oh well...).

Your new account is live and I have responded to your question(s) in a separate thread. Please respond over there if you have further relevant questions, or make a new thread if you have new unrelated questions.

Hi Cameron, your account is now live and I sent an email to you.

Your new TurnKey website account is now active. I also sent you an email.

Please feel free to start new thread(s) for any questions/concerns/issues/feedback you have.

Hi Vitor, Your new TurnKey website user account is all systems go and I have reposted your question to a new thread - and responded (TL;DR I need more info...).

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 Will. Your TurnKey website user account has been created (using the email you noted in this post). I set a random password so you'll need to reset that before you can log in.

I'm not clear what you mean by "cloudflared TurnKey app"?!

If you have any problems and/or feedback for us, please feel free to start a new thread.

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.

Your account is ready to go! :) You'll need to reset the password before you can log in.

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.

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).

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.

Apologies that my response has been so slow...

Welcome to TurnKey! :) Please don't hesitate to start a new thread if you have any questions, problems or feedback.

Hi Shawn, apologies on such a slow response (I've had lots on and have only had time and energy for paid support lately - hopefully I can get back on top of the forums really soon...).

Anyway, welcome to TurnKey and please do not hesitate to start a new thread if you have any questions, concerns, issues and/or feedback for us.

[edit] PS apologies that I didn't directly address your note re API key. To get an API key, you'll need to sign up for a separate TurnKey Hub account.

Apologies on my slow response...

Your website account is now live and ready to go.

With regards to the Torrent Server, it should "just work". So if you have any problems, questions and/or feedback (regarding the Torrent Server, running LXC containers and/or anything else TurnKey related) please do not hesitate to start a new thread.

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).

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?!

You posted as a guest perfectly - it's just that the spam filter on guest posts is fairly sensitive so usually they require manual intervention from me to be published.

Thank you for your kind words. Hopefully I answered all your initial questions in my previous response to you.

Your website user account is live. If you want a Hub API key, you'll need to sign up for the TurnKey Hub separately.

As I noted above, if you want a Hub API key, please sign up to the TurnKey Hub.

If you have any other questions or feedback for us, please do not hesitate to start a new thread.

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! :)

Hi Tejas, welcome to TurnKey.

Please feel free to open a new thread if/when you have questions and/or feedback for us. If you are a paid Hub user (and/or while on the free trial) please feel free to contact Hub support directly (chat box in the bottom right of every page while logged into the Hub - or email support@turnkeylinux.org).

Hi Casper, your TurnKey website user account is now up and running. Please feel free to open a new thread if you have any questions or feedback for us.

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! :)

Sorry to keep you waiting. As I just posted above, you're up and running now.

FYI I try to do it at least once every couple of days, but this last month has been a bit crazy. I have had some (non TurnKey related) crisis to deal with lately. I'm pretty sure I'm over the worst of it now and am in the process of trying to get back on top of it all...

Hi Nick, deep apologies on my slow response.

To get a API key for TKLBAM, you'll need to sign up to the TurnKey Hub. Please be sure to cancel the free trial on the server plan (assuming you only intend to use TKLBAM).

If you have any further concerns or questions, please feel free to start a new thread (using your new TurnKey website user account).

Hi there. I only speak English, so I put your post into google translate and got this:

hello i want confirmation

I've created an account for you, with a random password. You'll need to reset your password before you can log in. If you have any troubles, please don't hesitate to post back.

Please feel free to start a new thread if you have any further questions or feedback for us. If possible though, please post in English, or at least also include an English translation. Thanks.

Hi again Nick. Hopefully my previous post provides all the info you need?!

if you have any further questions or feedback, please post.

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 Sébastien - welcome to TurnKey.

If you have any TurnKey questions or feedback, please do not hesitate to start a new thread.

To get a backup API key, you'll need to sign up for a TurnKey Hub account.

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 Michael - welcome to TurnKey! :)

Your account is now active (apologies about the delay) so please feel free to start a new thread if you have any questions or feedback.

Hi Alex. Welcome to TurnKey. I must have deleted the account you created, but I've created a new one for you, so you should be good to go (just need to change your password so you can log in).

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.

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.

Hi Don. Apologies on the delay, but your account is now up and running. You'll need to reset the password to log in, but otherwise you should be all go.

Please start a new thread and ask your questions. :) I'll respond ASAP.

Hi Jacky, your TurnKey website account is now active. Apologies on the delays.

Please don't hesitate to start a new thread if/when you have any questions and/or feedback for us.

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.

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.

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 aboard. :)

I have enabled your account. Please don't hesitate to start a new thread if you have any questions. Unfortunately, I'm a bit behind on responding, but I hope to catch up really soon... (FWIW I'm a bit sidetracked working on our next major release).

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.

Welcome aboard! :)

Hi Thorsten, welcome to TurnKey. Your account is good to go, but you'll need to reset your password before you can log in.

Unfortunately, I only speak English, so moving forward, it'd be great if you could post in English please. Although feel free to also post in German too if you wish.

Also, please be aware that I'm a bit behind on the forums (I have my head deep in development of the upcoming v18.x release). I hope to catch up really soon.

Please feel free to open a new thread if you have questions and/or feedback for us. Good luck with it all.

Hi Tim, I just noticed that I hadn't sent you a welcome message...

Welcome to TurnKey! :)

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

Hi Sumner, welcome to TurnKey.

It is perhaps worth noting, that whilst MineOS is based on TurnKey, we didn't create it. I did speak with the dev who created it about making it an "official" TurnKey image, but the conversation stalled and never got revisited.

So if you have Minecraft specific questions, there's a good chance I won't be able to help, but I can assist with underlying TurnKey Linux questions.

If you want to get an API key and use TKLBAM, then you'll need to sign up for a (separate) TurnKey Hub account (the user databases are separate).

Please feel free to start a new thread if you have any further questions or feedback for us.

Hi Mike, welcome to TurnKey.

Please do not hesitate to start a new thread if you have any questions or feedback for us.

Apologies that I hadn't explicitly responded to you sooner. I'm not sure how, but it looks like whilst I enabled your account, I didn't reply to your post (as I intended to).

Anyway, warm albeit belated welcome to TurnKey.

Your plans sound great and I'm a bit pumped and honored that you're considering TurnKey for the purpose.

Please do not hesitate to start a new thread if you have any support issues, questions or feedback (e.g. suggestions for improvements etc).

As you may already be aware, we have an AWS based SaaS platform called the TurnKey Hub. The Hub incorporates management of backups/data generated via our built in automated encrypted backup tool, TKLBAM, as well as a user friendly platform for launching and managing TurnKey "Cloud Servers" (AWS EC2 instances). That has a separate user DB, so you'll need to sign up to that separately. If you go ahead with that on one of the paid plans, you are then eligible for our "paid" support (accessible within the Hub, or email via support AT turnkeylinux.org).

Good luck with it all and I look forward to hearing more about how your setup progresses and/or any pain points you hit that perhaps we can improve on.

Apologies I'm a little slow. I'm deep in dev mode working on our net upcoming release.

Good luck with it all and please do not hesitate to start a new thread if you have any questions or feedback for us.

PS you'll need to reset your password before you can log in.

Hi Elise, welcome to TurnKey.

Firstly, to clarify, you don't NEED to use TKLBAM, but it is what we recommend and technically the only method we support (despite that, I'll happily give you "best effort" support).

If you want to give TKLBAM a go, you'll need to sign up for the TurnKey Hub separately (the user DB is separate to the website).

It's worth being aware, that under the hood, TurnKey is Debian (v16.x = Debian 10/Buster; v17.x = Debian 11/Bullseye, he upcoming v18.x = Debian 12/Bookworm). So a "Debian style in place upgrade" is an alternate option. It's not as smooth as it could be (e.g. you'll need to manually download the updated TurnKey apt signing key), but it is possible. I hope to make it smoother in future, but not sure when I'll get to that, my todo list is huge!

Anyway, good luck with it all and please don't hesitate to open a new thread if you have any questions or feedback for us.

Hi Jeff, welcome to TurnKey.

Apologies that my response was a little slow. FWIW I'm deep in dev mode trying to get our new upcoming v18.0 release ready.

Your guess was right, our apt repo server went down and was out of action for quite a few hours. It's back up now and should be all good going forwards.

Good luck with it all and please do not hesitate to start a new thread if you have questions or feedback for us.

Hi Jonathan, welcome to TurnKey

Please do not hesitate to open a new thread if you have any questions or feedback for us. Although please note that behind the scenes, I'm currently trying to push out a new major release, so my forum response time will be slower than ideal for probably at least another week or so.

Hi Adnan, welcome to TurnKey

FWIW the Samba web based admin is provided by the Samba Webmin module. It is not that useful for AD DC management (IIRC you can restart the service and do a few other bits and pieces). But the recommendation (by Samba) for AD management is via the Windows RSAT tool. I.e. install that on one of your Windows machines and use that to maintain and manage your AD.

Having said that, obviously that doesn't exclude the fact that Webmin and Webshell (aka shellinabox) aren't working (and they should be!). Thanks for providing the info you did. It looks like none of the required services are running?! That is certainly not expected. They should "just work".

You could try check the services for info on why they aren't running, to check each service individually:

systemctl status stunnel4@webmin
systemctl status stunnel4@shellinabox
systemctl status shellinabox
systemctl status webmin

You could also try manually starting them, by re-running the above commands, except replace 'status' with 'start' (or 'restart').

Even if manually starting them works, I'd recommend that you reboot to check that they come back up. If they don't (or they don't start at all) please open a new support thread and share the output of the status commands above. Another thing that might assist is to check for more info from the journal. E.g. to get the last 50 lines of webmin related info from the journal:

journalctl -u webmin -n 50 --no-pager

You can rerun that command substituting 'webmin' for the other named services (e.g. 'shellinabox', etc)

Feel free to write that to a file (i.e. append ' > ~/webmin.log' to the above line and you should find a file called 'webmin.log' in your home dir) and upload it somewhere or attach to the thread (only the first post in a thread allows attachments). Although please explicitly note if you do that (the site has bug that means the attached files aren't publicly visible - although are publicly accessible).

Hopefully that gets you going in the right direction. If not, please do open a new support thread and we'll go from there. Please note that my forum response times are slower than ideal currently, but I will answer all threads (eventually...) and hopefully things should be back to normal (responses within a day or 2) soonish. Please also note that if you are a paid Hub user (or would like paid support - even if self hosting) please reach out to me via support@turnkeylinux.org and we can chat...

Hi Eric, welcome to TurnKey. Please don't hesitate to start a new thread if you have any questions, concerns or feedback.

Hi Sukardi - your website account is approved.

Please note that if you want a Hub API key (for remote encrypted backups) then please sign up to the TurnKey Hub (the 2 systems have different user databases). If you are self hosting and your data isn't important (e.g. you are just testing) or you have an alternate remote backup regime, then you can skip the API key step at first boot.

Hi Ramsha, your account is approved. :)

Please feel free to open a new thread if you have any questions or feedback for us.

I approved your account recently but forgot to get back to replying to this post... Apologies about that.

Also, you've likely seen I replied to your other post...

My guess is that your time is too far out of whack (i.e. wrong day judging by the message) to automatically update. I suggest setting the time on your guest first (so it's really close) then retry.

If you continue to have issues, please post in your other thread (rather than replying here) or start a new thread.

Thanks for your interest in TurnKey. Welcome aboard. :)
