This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

• Nextcloud Server:
  • Installed from official zip file. No automatic updates.

    Security note: Updates to Nextcloud may require supervision so they ARE NOT configured to install automatically. See Nextcloud documentation for upgrading.

• SSL support out of the box.
• Adminer administration frontend for MySQL (listening on port 12322 - uses SSL).
• Postfix MTA (bound to localhost) to allow sending of email (e.g., password recovery).
• Webmin modules for configuring Apache2, PHP, MySQL and Postfix.

Usage details & Logging in for Administration :

No default passwords: For security reasons there are no default passwords. All passwords are set at system initialization time.

Ignore SSL browser warning: browsers don't like self-signed SSL certificates, but this is the only kind that can be generated automatically. If you have a domain configured, then via Confconsole Advanced menu, you can generate free Let's Encypt SSL/TLS certificates.

Web - point your browser at either:

1. http://12.34.56.789/ - not encrypted so no browser warning
2. https://12.34.56.789/ - encrypted with self-signed SSL certificate
