I'm using the wiki appliance for a while and have no complains.
In a new install it should be placed behind a Cisco firewall and that also works.
Now, I'd like to have the wiki completely self-contained and have more visibility over what users do.
To that end I attempted to install freeRadius (can be used by Cisco firewall for authentication) and DaloRadius as aGUI front end.
Recently did a disaster recovery test with TKLBAM on a live site with over 6000 subscribers (6053 to be exact). All went swimmingly using TKLBAM restore and also performing a Joomla backup with Akeeba, FTPing the backup to a new server, unzipping, installing and moving the elastic IP to the new server - more than one way to skin a cat and very reliable so far.
I needed an appliance that I could deploy, from 1 template, and have the web application connect to a local MySQL(so there is no configuration needed on the application), but use read/write to one MySQL database, a.k.a Multi-Master. Also we wanted to be able to reuse the extra hdd space on each appliance to form a HA storage volume that we could distribute across all nodes and provide redudancy of those files(also can eliminate the need for Samba to share files between appliances).
Below are the installed apps on an Ubuntu 10.04 Turnkey Image:
For instance I had a couple of servers running and I tried to delete one but everything just hung.
I exited from the destroy dialogue and tried to do it again only to discover to my horror that a joomla instance running a live site was now reordered to be at the top and on its way to being destroyed!
Thankfully TKLBAM managed to restore the site, at least I thought. The hub was once again so slow I accidentally launched 2 instances. Somehow I also managed to apply the same elastic IP on both?
[9-04-2013] Note: this patch has been abandoned. It is not considered stable and will not be released as an official TKL appliance. See my post here for further details.
Seeing as this is a major revision (basically a re-write) of my first KnowledgeTree patch - which was my first patch ever - I thought'd I start a new thread.
