TurnKey Drupal 8 Live CD is a freely distributed and open source operating system based on the highly acclaimed Debian GNU\/Linux distribution and built around the powerful Drupal 8 software. It is designed from the ground up to act as an appliance for deploying dedicated Drupal servers.<\/p>\n
Drupal is a highly modular opensource content management platform that can support a variety of websites ranging from personal blogs, corporate brochures and large community-driven websites. The appliance comes with all of the upstream Drupal configurations, which are installed in \/var\/www\/drupal8.<\/p>\n
This special TurnKey edition includes a wide range of popular Drupal 7 modules and dependencies, which are installed by default in \/var\/www\/drupal7\/sites\/all\/modules. Among them, we can mention Panels, Date, Backup and Migrate, Link, Devel, Email, Drush, Token, Ckeditor, as well as Jquery_ui.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the Imce, Rules, Recaptcha, Advanced_help, PathAuto, Google Analytics, GlobalRedirect, Lightbox2, FiveStar, Tagadelic, Webform, Admin menu, and Logintoboggan modules are also included in this TurnKey Drupal appliance.<\/p>\n
In addition, it features out-of-the-box support for secure connections using the latest SSL implementation, the phpMyAdmin software for easy management of MySQL databases, a Postfix mail transfer agent for sending emails to users, and Webmin modules for configuring Postfix, Apache, PHP and MySQL.<\/p>\n
Users can download this special Drupal 8 appliance as Live CD ISO images, supporting both 32- and 64-bit architectures, as well as ready-to-use virtual machine images for the OpenStack, OpenNode, OpenVZ, OVF and Xen virtualization technologies.<\/p>\n
While the default username for the Webmin, MySQL, phpMyAdmin and SSH components is root, the default Drupal 7 username is admin. During the first boot configuration process, users will be able to add new passwords to these pre-defined accounts.<\/p>\n
Don’t forget to note the IP addresses and ports of the active services (SSH, SFTP, Webmin, phpMyAdmin and Web Shell). A Drupal 6 Live CD appliance<\/a> is also available for download on Softpedia.<\/p>\n
