SilverStripe is an award-winning open source web content management system and application framework used by governments, businesses, and non-profit organisations around the world. It is a power tool for professional web development teams, and web content authors rave about how easy it is to use.

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

  • SilverStripe configurations:

    • Silverstripe CMS 6 is installed from its pinned official upstream release tag in /var/www/silverstripe.

    Security note: Silverstripe updates require supervision and are not installed automatically. Run silverstripe-update --check to inspect the supported Composer patch channel. Back up the site, review the upstream release notes, then run silverstripe-update --apply in a maintenance window.

  • 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

  • SilverStripe: username is email set on first boot

Usage details & Logging in for Administration

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