Concrete CMS makes it easy for anyone to run a website with minimal technical skills. Go to any page in your site, and a editing toolbar gives you all the controls you need to update your website. No intimidating manuals, no complicated administration interfaces - just point and click.

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

  • Concrete CMS configurations:

    • Installed from the integrity-pinned official release archive to /var/www/concrete/public.

      Security note: Updates to Concrete CMS may require supervision so they ARE NOT configured to install automatically. See Concrete CMS documentation for upgrading.

    • Includes concrete (cli) and composer for command line administration, configuration and development. Also includes relevant wrapper scripts; turnkey-concrete, turnkey-composer (run the relevant command, but as www-data user).

    • Runs the Concrete CMS scheduler every minute so tasks scheduled in the dashboard can start on time.

  • 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 (e.g., password recovery).

  • Webmin modules for configuring Apache2, PHP, MySQL and Postfix.

Credentials (passwords set at first boot)

  • Webmin, SSH, MySQL: username root

  • Adminer: username adminer

  • Concrete CMS: username admin

Usage details & Logging in for Administration

  1. http://12.34.56.789/ - not encrypted so no browser warning
