You are here
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:
- 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
- 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.

Hi Saxon, your TurnKey website account has been approved.
If your files aren't that important, then you can use Turnkey as is.
If you want to do remote TKLBAM backups, then you'll need to sign up for a TurnKey Hub account (the user databases for the Hub and the website are separate). You can get an API key there.
If you do choose to sign up to the Hub and have any Hub specific concerns/questions, please send me a message via the the "in app" support system and I'll reply ASAP.
For more general TurnKey questions, please post on the website forums.

Hi Guys,
I just received the e-mail telling me to right as a guest here.
I am using proxmox and I started a fileserver and plan to use it with TurnKey fileserver. If I may have the approval to get your keys would be great, thanks,
Best !

Account Approval
Hello,
Just got a great deal on Amazon with a mini PC and turned it into a Proxmox server so I was looking through all of the available options and came across the option to download Turnkey LXC templates but found out I need an api key before I can use them... :(. Here I am asking for permission...lol.

Hi David, your TurnKey
Hi David, your TurnKey website account is approved.
If you are only testing and/or your data isn't important, then you don't need an API key. The API key is to link TKLBAM backups (our built-in remote backup tool) to the TurnKey Hub. If you want to set that up, please sign up for an account over there (the user databases for the Hub and the website are separate).
If you do choose to sign up to the Hub and have any Hub specific concerns/questions, please send me a message via the the "in app" support system and I'll reply ASAP.

It's not a spam. Homelab server
Hi,
I’m a software developer running a homelab with Proxmox.
I’ve installed a Gitea container and need to set up backups using Turnkey.
I’m also interested in exploring other apps from the Turnkey Hub, with a possibility of subscribing in the future.
Thanks!

Hi Vlad, I've approved your account
Hi Vlad, I've approved your website account. Welcome to TurnKey. :)
If you want to enable backups though, you need to sign up for a separate TurnKey Hub account - the website and the Hub have individual user databases.
If you have backup and/or Hub related questions, please ask via Hub support - little blue icon bottom left. Expected Hub support response times are within one workday, although often quicker.
Please feel free to open a new thread on the forums here on the website anytime, although most likely I will be a fair bit slower to respond.

I am sign up on July 25th, 2024, still my account is not approved for further use.

Hi Harry, your account is approved.
Regarding the time it has taken for your account to be approved, did you post here before?
If so, my apologies. For some reason I must have missed your post.
If not then that is expected. We get literally hundreds of signups per day and most of them are spammers. Posting here, confirming that you are not just a spammer is the second step to get your account approved. That should have been noted in the welcome email when you first signed up. Apologies if that wasn't clear or you didn't get the email.
Regardless, please post in the forums any time. Others may jump in and/or I'll reply when I can, usually within a few days.
Introduction
Hello,
I have dabbled with Turnkey solutions in the past but not actually registered for an account, or at least not followed-through as the process is rather unorthodox. Some solutions I have looked into in the past include a Process Maker solution, and presently an Odoo solution. I have also used the Open LDAP solution in the past to stage scaled lab environments for various NFR solution implementations for my work in my homelab. The purpose of my use of these solutions is primarily exploratory; I use them to get an idea of capabilities and hands on experience with the solutions before using them at large. It's been a while but I believe that I was testing the Process Maker solution in virtual box, but am presently using ProxMox to test out Odoo.
Hi Nyr, website account enabled
Hi Nyr, your website account is now enabled.
Yes apologies on the somewhat convoluted sign up process. Despite the spam protection that we had, I got overwhelmed by spammers so i had to make a difficult decision.
We plan to move to better forum software in the near future and hopefully we'll be able to improve the signup process while still stopping the spammers.
Now you can post in the forums anytime. I'll reply as soon as I can, but often that can take me a few days.
New user verifcation and all that :)
So here I am - I came across turnkey linux as a solution to my home hosting needs.
Stuck on a problem of my own creation. Hope you find a better solution for new user accounts though!
The struggle!
Hi Richard, your account in enabled
Hi Richard, your website account is now enabled. Please feel free to post in the forums anytime.
I apologies that the signup process is far from ideal. We have spam protection, but for whatever reason at one point I was overwhelmed by spammers - literally hundreds of spam posts per day, and from unique accounts too, so clean up was a time consuming pain. We were already planning to move to better forums software - and anti-spam measures. So the current process is a stop gap. Unfortunately it's taken us longer to migrate than I had hoped. But hopefully within the next few months...
:)
Well thanks mate - keep at it!
I was already aware of the forum spam struggles from previous experiences - I just hoped it wasn't as wide-spread of an issue as it actually is. :(

Hi Eudes
Hi Eudes.
Welcome to TurnKey. I have enabled your website account.
Please note that I only speak English, so I have taken the liberty of using Google translate on your post and adding an English translation below your text. I'll also do the same to mine.
In future feel free to continue to post in Portugese if you prefer, but it'd be great if you could also include an English translation as well. If your English isn't great feel free to use a translation service as I have.
To your migration request, please check the TKLBAM doc page first so you understand potential limitations. To get a Hub API key, you'll need a separate account with the TurnKey Hub because the user databases are separate.
If you need assistance migrating your data to a new server, please feel free to log in here on the website (using this account I've just enabled) and open a new support thread in our forums.
Olá, Eudes.
Bem-vindo ao TurnKey. Habilitei sua conta no site.
Observe que só falo inglês, então tomei a liberdade de usar o Google Tradutor em sua postagem e adicionar uma tradução em inglês abaixo do seu texto. Também farei o mesmo com a minha.
No futuro, sinta-se à vontade para continuar a postar em português se preferir, mas seria ótimo se você também pudesse incluir uma tradução em inglês. Se seu inglês não for bom, sinta-se à vontade para usar um serviço de tradução como eu usei.
Para sua solicitação de migração, verifique primeiro a página de documentação do TKLBAM para entender as possíveis limitações. Para obter uma chave de API do Hub, você precisará de uma conta separada com o TurnKey Hub porque os bancos de dados do usuário são separados.
Se precisar de assistência para migrar seus dados para um novo servidor, sinta-se à vontade para fazer login aqui no site (usando esta conta que acabei de habilitar) e abrir um novo tópico de suporte em nossos fóruns.

I am looking forward to approval.

Hello my name is Adil,
I'm a student system/network administrator, and I'm currently playing with a Proxmox home server. It was through Proxmox that I discovered LXC containers, which I find very practical. After encountering a problem with the “Wordpress” LXC container, I decided to sign up to see if I could talk to the community or find out if earlier versions of the container were available, so I decided to sign up here and it's with my remaining energy and dark circles that I'm sending you this post.

Of course, I'm also interested in other containers that I haven't been able to test, such as nextcloud, but I've still got so much to learn and so many goals to achieve, for the moment, that I can't look into these treasures just yet.
see you soon
Hi Adil
Hi Adil, welcome to the TurnKey website.
Re your WordPress problem, it was a bug :( We've since fixed it though, so if you download the latest one - v18.2 - then you should be good to go.
FYI you can also get older releases from our mirror. They will require manual download. Once the template is in the right place on your proxmox server (/var/lib/vz/template/cache) then you should be able to launch one.
If you continue to have problems with WordPress (or any others), have other questions or would like to share some more feedback, please feel free to start a new thread here in the forums. I'll reply ASAP, but that may take a few days. Hopefully someone else might beat me to it.

Hello. I'm running Proxmox VE 8.2.4 on my home server, and already used few TurnKey LXCs without registration(turnkey-postgresql and turnkey-mysql), and they worked well.So i came here to register and get api key to try out more features like DDNS. I'm so sorry that so good product is been under spam attack for such a long time(as i can see it's a year already). Will my account be approved or no, i just want to say thank you for your priceless work to save people so much time configuring services!

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 Nextcloud Turnkey install. I have a few Linux servers and mainly have used Unraid in the past and still do for my docker containers but Nextcloud does not run so well containerized.
Thanks for your time and appreciate I all your work!

New Account- Pending Approval
Hello,
I have submitted for a Turnkey approval and beleive that I am posting in the correct section. Over the past several months I have been studying system networking and have set up a three node proxmox cluster in which I am am developing network virtualization with ceph and ZFS storage. I have previously used the Turnkey Fileserver but did not set up with an API key. As I am familiarizing myself with VM and LXC deployment I am also hoping to learn how to improve and expand security and access options for the server. There are several other Turnkey appliances which I am interested in testing which is another reason I would like to setup this configuration. I am really enjoying everything I have learned so far, currently I am running servers for jellyfin, omv, adguard, homepage, docker, tipi, wireguard, pbx and a few other containers. My main goals now that I have the servers up and running is as mentioned to focus on more advanced configuration regarding security and access. Thanks!

guest comment and a question about file server.
i have turnkey fileserver installed in an lxc that has a mountpoint thats 2.5tb and its totally clean no files, but when i add smb share to my pc it says it has 125gb of used capacity when no files are on this share why is that? when i do df -h it shows me that the mountpoint is only 1% full and has some killobytes of data so why the smb share says 125gb?

Turnkey Membership Request (non-spam)
Hello, I am an instrumentation and controls engineering manager who plays with Turnkey appliances on my two Dell servers at home.
Why? Because it is fun. My Email name comes from when I lived in southern Maryland while working at the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power plant. There is a river and Naval base in the area called Patuxent river and PAX River Naval Air Station (they do drone research).
My home computing environment has two Dell servers and I run a wide variety of Turnkey VMs. To name a few, I have two Samba AD Servers based on TurnKey Core GNU/Linux 15.0 (Debian 10/Buster) arranged in a redundant AD forest. Those I built from scratch. I have two Samba file servers in a redundant configuration with the distributed file system GFS2 running over top of DRBD and utilizing CTDB as the Samba interface.
Those were built from scratch using Turnkey Core GNU/Linux 16.1 (Debian 10/Buster). I also have a Apache Guacamole server for remote access to all my VMs, windows computers, appliances, etc, along with my OSSIM SIEM. The Guacamole implementation is installed on top of Turnkey LAMP 17.1 (Debian 11 - Bullseye). I have a squid based web proxy server I set up with SquidGuard and an ssl bump configuration using Turnkey Core GNU/Linux 16.1 (Debian 10/Buster).
More recently I just set up a software inventory server that utilizes OCS Inventory and runs on TurnKey LAMP Version 18.0 (Debian Bookworm). I have about 4 other VMs including things like my own OpenVPN server for cases when I want to connect directly to my infrastructure when I'm out travelling rather than going with a browser to launch RDP/VNC/SSH sessions through a browser using the Apache Guacamole interface... I hope all this helps. If you need further evidence that I am legit I can send you screen shots and scripts of my virtual appliance configs. :)
Hi Cam
Hi Cam, welcome to TurnKey.
Nice intro! :)
Sounds like you've been using TurnKey for a while and your setup sounds pretty cool.

Welcome to the Machine
Hi .
A new but "old" Turnkey user here. Trying to set up some lxc's and hoping to get to know Turnkey, etc a little better.
Struggling with graying hair, shrinking wallet and Tech that seems more complicated than the machine code I programmed in 40 years ago !!!
<waves shyly>
Thanks
Hi Richie
Hi Richie, welcome to TurnKey! :)
TBH I had a go at machine code when I was a child and it did my head in! :)
But at the same time I totally get you re changing &/or new (to me or in general) tech. "Tech" is such a broad field these days, that expertise in one area often only gives you a vague head start in any other; if that.
Give me a Linux CLI and I'm super comfortable. But friends and family seem to think that because I'm "techy", that I can fix all their Windows and/or iProduct problems. Often I have to spend time searching online before I can even navigate around and find where to even start!
With regards to getting comfortable with TurnKey (and Linux in general), playing is key IMO. And if you're not breaking stuff sometimes, then you aren't playing hard enough! :D
Anyway, please feel free to start a new thread on the forums if you have any questions, problems or feedback for us. Hopefully catch you around.
