We're a tiny team and are looking to deploy a handful of open source web apps. Being able to deploy these pre-packaged VMs (or simple to install stacks) quickly is very appealing. We don't have strong Linux skills(we're a windows shop) and this has been a deterrent in the past but the quick and easy set-up seems to minimise time cost.

Sorry if this is a newbie question, but I have used Turnkey Linux products for years now...generally you get the iso image, install on the server, and away you go using the products.

Not for me with Zurmo.

I did the install to the hard disk, completed the password setups, etc.

I can browse to the web shell, the webadmin, phpmyadmin, etc.  no problems.

When I do what I would expect...to login to the Zurmo interface...I get nowhere.

I would like to replace my exisitng windows hyperv server. Is there a turnkey appliance for use as a VM host with associated guest management tools ie stop start snapshot backup etc?

Thanks

Just checking in on things...   I'd love a LAMP stack with PHP 7 built in. In Sam Cooke's words "It's been a long time, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will"

I wonder if anyone has any opinions on this.

I'm about to start a new research project to experiment with developing simple database applications. I am thinking to use MongoDB with Node.js and Express on the backend, and Webix on the frontend.

I can use this tutorial to setup a simple test and go from there.

Hi! I dont know if it is OK to make requests here, but I'll give it a try!

It would be nice to have a TKL with OSM-Nominatim.

I imagine booting into this TKL, adding OSM files to certain directory and running a command to perform import.

Then services of lookup, geocoding, and reverse geocoding should be available.

Hope you find this idea useful!

Best regards,

Hi,

I'm considering in my home lab deploying many of these VM's ( OpenVPN, OpenLDAP, FileServer, Monitoring etc).

I imagine there are mechanisms for doing single sign on and credentials management across the suite of VM's

Is there a best practice guide as to the best approach to do this?

At my home office, I've been doing TurnKey development work on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 server running ProxMox VE software.  It has served me well for several years, but when I decided to take the show on the road, it was not a practical solution for development.  I started searching for a way to do development on my Dell Inspiron laptop without the burden of running VirtualBox.   I liked what I saw in LXD, the second version of Linux Containers (LXC).  I became convinced it was possible, but found there were significant challenges as discussed in this

Please add new stack for ERP next. ERP nest is a open source ERP.

Canonical, the company that makes Linux distro Ubuntu, has re-released its Meltdown update for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Xenial users after the first attempt tripped up machines.

Canonical managed to get its fix for the Meltdown CPU bugout on Tuesday as scheduled, but was forced to issue a new release after discovering some 16.04 LTS Xenial users couldn't boot their machines once the update was installed.
