Merge or combine | TurnKey GNU/Linux

Using TKLDev, is it possible to merge or combine two or more TKL apps? for instance, Im trying to develop a Tomcat and PostgreSQL environment. Since both of these already exist, can I just bring them together as one with TKLDev? I can't see anything in the documentation that states if this is possible or how to go about it.

Thanks

It's not really designed like that

However you can use TKLDev to build a custom appliance that is exactly how you want it. And that might include copy/pasting code from one appliance into the code of your new custom appliance.

I strongly suggest that you have a look at TKLDev (check out the links in the docs). Once you have read through the docs, had a bit of a play and got your head around that, then you will find that much of the code can easily be copy/pasted from one appliance to another.

We do have future plans to make combining appliances easier but we a long way away from that at this point.

FWIW both the Tomcat appliances include MySQL so if you have a look at the Tomcat build code and also check out the PostgreSQL appliance code you may start to get some ideas. OTTOMH the missing ingredient will be a Tomcat PostgreSQL connector however if you keep in mind that TurnKey is Debian under the hood you should find plenty of resources.

Once you have a bit of a feel fro it all please do not hesitate to ask questions and I'll try to help where I can. :)

time to tinker...
