CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Is it possible to install CiviCRM into the Amazon EC2 service? Also, could it be added to the turnkey Drupal offering at:

BTW: Has anyone used any of the turnkeylinux.org packages for other purposes?  Perhaps this open source project could be extended to create a turnkey CiviCRM install.

sarah:

would be great if you could perhaps step up and build a turnkeylinux package on top of the drupal stack. will help us and the community a whole lot. Another great addition could be to build a distribution of project mercury with civicrm included

Hi folks,

I'm one of the developers behind TurnKey Linux. With you're help, we'd love to add CiviCRM to the appliance library.

Once we add an appliance to the project we assume the burden of maintaining it at the appliance level with regular updates. This frees you to focus on more interesting tasks (e.g., improving quality of integration, software sub-components).

All TurnKey appliances are available in multiple builds - optimized VM, ISO, Amazon EC2 and several other cloud hosting providers for instant deployment. We are also working with Canonical to make all the appliances available for deployment in UEC (Ubuntu Enterprize Cloud), as well as VMWare in VAM.

To add a little spice, we recently announced an appliance development contest [1].
Creating the appliance can be done using TKLPatch [2] - a simple appliance customization mechanism.

I hope the above answers your questions.
