web2py is a free open source framework for rapid development of fast, scalable, secure and portable database-driven web-based applications. Written and programmable in Python. It includes a web-based IDE that helps you create, modify, deploy and manage application from anywhere using your browser.

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

  • web2py configurations:

    • Web2py 3 is installed from a pinned official upstream release in /var/www/web2py.

      Security note: Updates to web2py may require supervision so they ARE NOT configured to install automatically. Run web2py-update --check to inspect the supported Web2py 3 channel. Back up the appliance and review the upstream changes before running web2py-update --apply.

    • Serve web2py applications with WSGI on Apache.

    • Force admin console to be served via SSL.

    • Include a MariaDB connection for database-driven Web2py applications.

  • SSL support out of the box.

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

  • Webmin modules for configuring Apache2, MySQL and Postfix.

Credentials (passwords set at first boot)

  • Webmin, SSH, MySQL: username root
