The project which already supported many popular open source
applications including WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Ruby on Rails, LAMP
and Django has expanded its virtual appliance library to include:
- Complex "killer app" integrations: Windows domain controller, torrent server, file server, and an all-in-one revision control server .
- Commercially-backed enterprise software: Zimbra, OpenBravo, tWiki, MovableType and MindTouch Deki.
- Popular content management applications: Moodle, DokuWiki, MoinMoin, and Gallery.
- Popular issue tracking applications: BugZilla, Mantis, OTRS, Trac, RedMine and Project Pier.
- And many more.
In addition to the installable Live CD ISO format, all appliances are
now packaged in a standard virtual appliance format that can run
directly on a virtual machine with no installation necessary.
Appliances have also been ported to a Amazon's AMI format, making it
possible to launch TurnKey Linux appliances directly into Amazon's EC2
cloud. Amazon supports hourly billing which at $0.1/hour opens up a
variety of interesting use cases.
