Any plans for a server version?

I was also interested in a QuickStart no-gui server version. I created one based on a HowToForge ISPConfig3 Perfect Server setup and then installed Drush and made some tweaks for Drupal (upload progress, clean url dependencies, tweaks to MySQL and PHP configs, and tweaks to ISPConfig3 for Drupal. ISPConfig3's a pretty nice webmin/cp. So this config lets me manage and create sites, users, databases, ftp users, mail accounts, and ssh users from the ISPConfig3 cp and still use Drush to everything else. This build below uses uBuntu 11 on x64, you have have to adjust it for your uBuntu flavor.

Edited...

I removed the build notes that were here because it's basically the combination of the HowToForge article which can be easily followed for your version of uBuntu/ISPConfig, plus following the install of Drupal dependencies as contained in the Drupal documentation. The remaining posts/comments have the real meet and current progress of the idea birthed here...

I really like the direction you are taking this

however, I am placing a huge bet on the Aegir Project for Drupal specific site hosting

alongside that I am planning on running Webmin

the reason is mainly that Aegir is a Drupal site that hosts other sites, so the recursive and generate possibilities for hosting thousands of Drupal sites (within a Drupal site) are mind boggling

think Aegir Ecology and Drupal Gardens

I cant really knowledgeably compare ISPConfig3 vs Webmin, but I do know Webmin runs happily alongside Aegir

see http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&source=hp&q=aegir+ecology&aq=f&...

check out those power users on the groups, issue queues and the web and see what they use and recommend...

I am pretty sure webmin comes up as preferred control panel

you might also want to talk to seth.vincent who is doing the D7 port of Aegir

http://community.aegirproject.org

When testing the newest webmain I now recall using Webmin before. It's far more powerful, especially on the system side of things. I guess I want it all.

I want my LAMP server to have Webmin, Aegir, ISPConfig, and all the Drupal dependencies. I want it on top of a long term support (LTS) version of uBuntu (latest is 10.04). On top of web and database services, I want email and DNS, open source anti-spam and anti-virus, a firewall, and protection from DOS and other similar attacks. I want all my admin interfaces to use SSL and I want secure STMP enabled.

Basically, I want the offspring of a debaucherous affair between Webmin, Aegir, LAMP, ISPConfig, and Drupal. I want - WALID.

Meet WALID. It's exactly that offspring. WALID was conceived, gestated, and was birthed inside VirtualBox and can be found as a stand-alone appliance at http://drupal.org/sandbox/defconjuan/1157038.

I use bridged networking and so the appliance's network is set to static with the following info:

If you want to set this to another network or DHCP, edit /etc/network/interfaces and/or /etc/resolv.conf after you get the machine booted for the first time.

Because AEGIR works on hostnames, not IPs, you need to edit the host file on WALID and your local machine. If you're local machine's Windows, it's at \Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\Hosts and on most Linux distros it's at /etc/hosts.

Add the following entry (replacing 10.10.0.150 with whatever IP you're using for WALID):

ALL user passwords are set to "walid". Default users are:

• root
• aegir (created by aegir and the aegir process account)
• walid (in place of the "administrator" user that's usually created during the uBuntu server build)

Inside of the root's home folder is a folder called configs (/root/config/) it has links to all of the most important config files and directories.

The domain "notdrupal.dev" is a domain created in the ISPConfig3 interface to show that you can still use ISPConfig3 alongside Webmain and AEGIR.

There are three ISPConfig3 users:

• admin - the default superuser
• walid - the hostmaster for all internal non-client hosting
• aegir-test - a test user based on a client template that removes all functionality that would conflict with AEGIR (mainly, website creation). This is the type of user that would be created for a domain managed through AEGIR, but for who you still wanted to enable/manage email for that domain.

Here are the admin URL's (and [user:password]):

• aegir: http://aegir.walid.dev [admin:walid]
• ispc: https://ispc.walid.dev:8080 [admin:walid]
• phpmyadmin: https://ispc.walid.dev:8080/phpmyadmin [root:walid]
• webmail: https://ispc.walid.dev:8080/webmail [postmaster@walid.dev:walid]
• webmin: https://webmin.walid.dev:1000 [root:walid]
• notdrupal: http://notdrupal.dev

I just created a Drupal project out of this. See http://drupal.org/sandbox/defconjuan/1157038.

As for seeding, I know... I'm the only one who has it right now. I just created the torrent... help by downloading and seeding.

we need testing, and people need to use it. if they do, i'm happy to sponsor it to full project. as long as it's used, they'll convert it.

I got about 2/3 the way to download and then lost a peer

please seed !?

prefer relatively anonymous torrents, if you can seed, I'll let the torrent seed from this end for the weekend :>

Hey Guys,

This looks all very promising. Is there any development around this project?
Hope this can continue.
