After almost two years of development, the Turnkey Linux 17 kit is released, which develops a collection of 119 minimalist builds of Debian suitable for use in virtualization systems and cloud environments. From the collection, only two ready-made builds based on branch 17 are currently formed - core (339 MB) with the base environment and tkldev (419 MB) with development tools and building mini-distributions. The remaining assemblies promise to be updated in the near future.
The idea of ββthe distribution is to provide the user with the opportunity, immediately after installation, to get fully functional working environments with LAMP (Linux, Apache, MariaDB, PHP/Python/Perl), Ruby on Rails, Joomla, MediaWiki, WordPress, Drupal, Apache Tomcat, LAPP, Django, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Node.js, Jenkins, Typo3, Plone, SugarCRM, punBB, OS Commerce, ownCloud, MongoDB, OpenLDAP, GitLab, CouchDB, etc.
The software is managed through a specially prepared web-interface (Webmin, shellinabox and confconsole are used for configuration). Assemblies are equipped with an automatic backup system, tools for automatic installation of updates and a monitoring system. Both installation on top of equipment and use in virtual machines are supported. Basic setup, defining passwords and generating cryptographic keys is done during the first boot.
The new release has migrated to the Debian 11 package base (previously used Debian 10). Webmin has been updated to version 1.990. Support for IPv6 has been significantly improved, for example, firewall and stunnel settings for IPv6 have been added to Webmin, IPv6 support has been implemented in backup tools. Work has been done on porting the distribution scripts from Python 2 to Python 3. The formation of experimental builds for Raspberry Pi 4 boards has begun.
