TurnKey Drupal 8 Live CD For Linux

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 is also available for download on Softpedia.
