Hello all,

I recently setup turnkey backups. I noticed the backup of my server was ~480MB (~220MB  zipped) considering my server uses ~2.5 GB of HD space, I can assume turnkey isn't backing up the entire server?

Also, where is the backup stored on my S3? It isnt located in any of my buckets on the S3 console.

I can hardly believe how well TKLBAM does it's incremental backups but I did a restore and sure enough everything is there.  What really amazes me is how small the incremental is and how fast it is completed.

Anyone have any suggestions on what they are using for appliance hardware?

Small professional looking hardware that people are using for their own appliances or for businesses? 

Virtual server/hypervisor is pretty much a nobrainer. Anything from 1U rackmount down to mini appliances. I'm thinking sub $100 to $200 barrier.

Thanks

I vote for a ZeroShell type Turnkey Router. I have dozens of projects that could use a great Turnkey Rounter appliance. Lots of custom routing project possibilities.

I'm new to this - sorry!

Would it be possible to run turnkey core and have HTS TvHeadend (http://www.lonelycoder.com/hts/tvheadend_overview.html) running on it?  If so, could I then with the file server appliance alongside?

Hello:

I love the idea of what you are doing, especially the backup solution.

I'm wondering if it might make sense for you to only distribute the 'core' and make every other specialised machine a 1-click download / install. This would allow you to keep the core fresher and more updated with bug fixes and support for your packages. Imagine now if you have a problem with the core you have to re-roll all the other specialised machines.

I know there are some Amazon EC2 Instance type restrictions that come with Amazon's devpay program but I was surprised when I created my TKLHUB account and started to launch a TKL appliance and found that I could only choose between m1.small or c1.medium instance types.  Both have 1.7GB ram.  I was hoping to use the m1.large which has 7.5GB ram.

I've been working for a few weeks on a TKLPatch for Psiphon. From their website:

Psiphon is content delivery technology that makes it possible for:

1. Individuals to access Internet content anywhere, and anytime.
2. Media producers, corporations, community groups to reach their audiences.

This is my take: it's an anonymous, SSL'd proxy server by which to circumvent autocrats' attempts at depriving citizens of information.

Is there an option to select the Micro Instance option as the server configuration in the Turnkey Hub? This would be beneficial for two reasons:

• Users who would want to try Turnkey Linux on the Hub but were dissuaded from the price could do so.
• Users who were using the Amazon free tier could use this.

I'm quite sure some of the Turnkey Linux applications (Such as Wordpress) could work on the Micro Instance. 

I am trying to build out a Debian Squeeze based core and would like to document my journey and also try to get some advice/assistance from the community.

My journey started with google where I found a live cd build system called live-build.  Here is a link to the home page:
