Joomla 4

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.

Stable version: 17.1 (changelog)

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

  • Joomla 4 configurations:
    • Installed from upstream source code to /var/www/joomla
    • Includes Joomla Console

    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)

Usage details & Logging in for Administration

No default passwords: For security reasons there are no default passwords. All passwords are set at system initialization time.

Ignore SSL browser warning: browsers don't like self-signed SSL certificates, but this is the only kind that can be generated automatically. If you have a domain configured, then via Confconsole Advanced menu, you can generate free Let's Encypt SSL/TLS certificates.

Web - point your browser at either:

  1. http://12.34.56.789/ - not encrypted so no browser warning
  2. https://12.34.56.789/ - encrypted with self-signed SSL certificate

Note: some appliances auto direct http to https.
