Joomla 3

Mobile-ready user-friendly content management

Joomla! is an award-winning Content Management System (CMS) for building websites as well as a Model-view-controller (MVC) Web Application Development framework. Features include page caching to improve performance, RSS feeds, printable versions of pages, news flashes, blogs, polls, website searching, and language internationalization.

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

  • Joomla 3 configurations:
    • Installed from upstream source code to /var/www/joomla

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

  • 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.

We recommend subscribing to the Joomla Security Feed (RSS/mailing list)
