TYPO3 CMS is an enterprise-class, Open Source CMS (Content Management System) with a vast international community of developers and supporters. It's used to build and manage websites of all types, from small sites for non-profits to multilingual enterprise solutions for large corporations.

This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

  • TYPO3 CMS configurations:

    • TYPO3 is installed from the official TYPO3 Composer packages with a versioned dependency lock.

      Security note: Updates to TYPO3 may require supervision so they ARE NOT configured to install automatically. See below for updating TYPO3.

  • SSL support out of the box.

  • Adminer administration frontend for MySQL (listening on port 12322 - uses SSL).

  • Postfix MTA (bound to localhost) to allow sending of email (e.g., password recovery).

  • Webmin modules for configuring Apache2, PHP, MySQL and Postfix.

Supervised Manual TYPO3 Update

Check for a supported TYPO3 13.4 LTS update from the command line:

typo3-update --check

Apply the update during a supervised maintenance window:

typo3-update --apply

The updater backs up composer.json and composer.lock under /var/backups/typo3-updater before applying an update.
