An attempt - in progress - to build Ghost blogging platform appliance using TKLDEV from Turnkey Linux. Based on Turnkey Core - below.
Ghost home: https://ghost.org/
Source for Ghost is on Github: https://github.com/TryGhost
Just about done; some cleaning to do.
- Change URL inithook to use http://$ipaddr (sed)
- Develop README.rst
- Post for TKL
The common base system on top of which all TurnKey Linux appliances are built. It includes custom automated backup and migration software, a web management interface, automatic daily security updates, live installer, configuration console, and all other common features. Take a look at some screenshots.
Features:
Base distribution: Debian 7.2 (Wheezy).
Build formats: Deploys on bare metal, virtual machines (e.g., VMWare, VirtualBox, OpenStack, OpenVZ, KVM, Xen) and in the cloud.
- ISO images: Generic installable Live CD. Installs anywhere.
- Virtual Machine images: Optimized for virtualized hardware, pre-installed and ready to run.
- Amazon Machine Image (AMI): Best launched via the TurnKey Hub.
Smart backups (TKLBAM): Automated backup and restore, with system migration capabilities.
Secure and easy to maintain: Auto-updated daily with latest security patches.
Dynamic DNS (HubDNS): Associates your IP with a custom domain or the free *.tklapp.com domain.
Logical Volume Management (LVM): Instead of installing to a fixed size partition, a Logical Volume is first created by default, and this may later be expanded, even across multiple physical devices.
AJAX web shell (shellinabox) - secure command line access from any web browser.
Web management interface (Webmin):
Listens on port 12321 (uses SSL).
Mac OS X themed.
Network modules:
- Firewall configuration (with example configuration).
- Network configuration.
System modules:
- Backup and migration (TKLBAM).
- Configure time, date and timezone.
- Configure users and groups.
- Manage software packages.
- Change passwords.
- System logs.
Tool modules:
- Text editor.
- Shell commands.
- Simple file upload/download.
- File manager (needs support for Java in browser).
- Custom commands.
Hardware modules:
- Partitions on local disks.
- Logical volume management.
Simple configuration console (confconsole):
- Displays basic usage information.
- Configure networking.
First boot initialization (inithooks):
- Prompt user for passwords.
- Regenerates SSL and SSH cryptographic keys.
- Installs latest security updates, unless user chooses to defer this for later.
Command line power tools
Smart, programmable bash shell completion: helps you get more done with fewer keystrokes.
Support for $HOME/.bashrc.d shell hooks
Persistent environment variables (see $HOME/.bashrc.d/penv):
penv-set pydoc /usr/share/doc/python2.6/html exit # later... cd $pydoc
Automatic time synchronization with NTP
