What a great platform you have created. I was able to migrate an old LAMP stack from a RedHat 9 system here to Amazon in a matter of hours. Getting the GD library was a snap to install, and everything seems to be working well.
VPS's ( 4 Gig Ram+ ) with an installed TurnkeyLinux OS are now offered to benefit from the TurnKeyLinux ecosystem ( Apps ).
Wanting a 'hybrid' VPS solution: to deploy a few php Apps for a few websites plus domainnames ( e.g. WordPress / Joomla ) and also Apache Tomcat server for one domainname with Java application Liferay Portal.
I am using the file server appliance as a home server (files + streambaby streaming to my tivo). I would like to install a lamp stack on it so I can work on building a wordpress website. Is that possible? Do I just go through the steps of installing a LAMP (there are plenty of tutorials)? I know I could just try it, but I don't want to mess up my file server, which we use every day.
I guess another option would be to run the TKL lamp or wordpress appliance in a VM. Any advice on which would be the better option? The machine is a pentium 4 with 2 gb of ram.
I built a Guacamole 9.1 appliance for my own use, and wanted to share it with you guys. I didn't have time to figure out TKLPatch, so I exported a VMWare appliance. Guacamole is a self-hosted web based RDP/VNC/Telnet/SSH solution. No longer will you need a client program to remote into other VMs or physical boxes.
