I have been planning to move my home website to a TKL Drupal Appliance since the beginning of the year, but had to put the project aside while I planned and executed a six week trip to Europe. Upon my return, I was pleased to find that a new TurnKey appliance based on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS was now available. I was even more pleased to find it included the latest stable release of Drush, my favorite admin tool. As I installed and setup the new server, I thought it might be helpful to document my experience. Some thoughts from my notes follow.
[UPDATE 16-10-2011] v0.4 minor update - Fixed autoremove bug (commented out autoremove) and reduced patch size (scripted changes to firstboot scripts rather than include them in overlay). Also updated install instructions below (will install v0.4).
[UPDATE 15-10-2011] (Jeremy) Forked Adrian's tklovz patch and did a major update (changelog below). Also repackaged Adrian's tkliso2ovz kit as a TKLPatch.
EDIT **01/23/2011** New Version Available (0.6.0) Changed info below to reflect
Hey everyone. I am proud to announce the creation of my first turnkey-linux TKLpatch!
Insta-Snorby is a new appliance that is essentially a fully-ready snort solution out of the box. The ISO still needs some slight tweaks but I've published the source and full overlay at https://github.com/Snorby/insta-snorby under GPLv3
Update: The Mahara patch of the 11.0 RC of both he LAPP stack and the LAPP stack are attached below. Any feedback or suggestions are certainly encouraged. This is our first contact with Postgresql.
Mahara is an eportfolio and resume and resume-building web-based application with social networking features. It's built to integrate well with Moodle. ISO and VM for VMware and VirtualBox are up, or rather are being uploaded as I write this, to http://9while9.com.
Unless it seems like a senseless endeavor, we're intending to put together patches for the server applications discussed in re: Ubuntu's school in a box blueprint[1].
We have a TKL based server in a customer that not has monitor connected. We want to create a user for our customer that only has permission to shut down the server but nothing else. We are thinking of creating a jailed user with chroot ssh access so it can launch the shutdown or halt command. How do you think about it?? some better idea?
Ok, I was chasing this one (and drupal 7) in the hope that they get to the final TKL release. Today the announcement of moodle 2 is out, I hope it's not too late to make it to the final release.
Hey guys, I don't know if this is the right way to do this, but I couldn't find any other way. I was wondering if I could make a request for an appliance. I think this appliance would be popular. It is called diaspora. It is basically a decentralized social networking app. An anti facebook if you will. I know there are a lot of people looking to move away from the big centralized social networks, mostly due to the abuse of sharing/selling their private information. Anyway, let me know what you think and if this was the wrong place to do this. Thanks!
Thanks for the time and effort you guys have invested, it's paid off remarkably well and the apps I've downloaded I love and am so grateful that they "just work".
I do have a couple of suggestions on the "just work" front, the first being that the LVM install option is highlighted as the preffered solution, or better still you don't offer that screen at all to users but an alternative screen
1. let Turnkey configure your HD (all existing data will be lost)
2. Advanced
Default to 1, and only go to the previous screen if 2 is selected.
