New version of open source MySQL appliance

2009-03-04 Thread Liraz Siri
Hello everyone,

We just released a new version of our MySQL appliance:

http://www.turnkeylinux.org/appliances/mysql

In a nutshell, this is an extremely easy way to get a MySQL instance up
and running on your server or VM (VMware, VirtualBox, Xen, KVM) of
choice in just a couple of minutes.

Changes include:

* Security: SSL support, crypto key regeneration during installation,
  database password setting during installation.

* Usability: confconsole support for systems with multiple NICs,
  password-free login in demo mode, added many generically useful Webmin
  modules, and improved embedded documentation.

* A bugfix in the daily auto-updates mechanism.

* rebuilt on top of TurnKey Core, the new common base for all software
  appliances, which is assembled from Ubuntu 8.04.2 LTS packages.

Cheers,
Liraz

TurnKey MySQL: new installable live CD optimized for ease of use

2008-11-24 Thread Liraz Siri
Hi guys,

I am one of the developers for TurnKey Linux, an opensource project that
aims to develop high-quality software appliances that are easy to use,
easy to deploy, and free. Our motto is "everything that can be easy,
should be easy!"

We recently released TurnKey MySQL, an easy-to-use, lightweight,
installable live CD of the MySQL database engine that can run on real
hardware in addition to most types of virtual machines. It is designed
to provide users with a pre-integrated, turn-key operating system
environment that is carefully built from the ground up with the minimum
components needed to run MySQL with maximum usability, efficiency, and
security.

Key features:

* auto-updated daily with latest security patches
* MacOS X themed web management interface
* easy to use configuration console (written from scratch in Python)
* packaged as an installable Live CD that runs on real machines and VMs
* minimal footprint (152MB) - includes only minimum required components
* based on Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy LTS

Check it out and tell us what you think!
