Tigase LiveCD 4.0.0
Submitted by kobit on Tue, 2008-08-12 10:06
(5771) A few days ago I have silently uploaded tigase-livecd-4.0.0.iso (5771) file into our download section. Even there was no announcement the download counter shows now 145. I wonder if there was such a big number if people knew what they are downloading....
Anyway. This ISO file is the first release of the Tigase LiveCD version. It is a complete environment runnable from the CD with pre-configured Tigase server, Drupal CMS (Blog and Forums) and Dovecot - IMAP4 server integrated together. The Drupal CMS runs with the Minichat on the example website. The live CD is based on the Gentoo Linux.
In this particular case integration means all services (Tigase, Drupal, Email) use user accounts from a single database. The user account management is done via Drupal website.
You can also post short news on the website directly from your XMPP client, you will also receive notifications about comments and posts on the website to your XMPP client.
The live CD contains also 2 nice XMPP clients: Psi and Coccinella in the most recent versions. Hm, Psi has just increased version number so it is not the most recent.
Everything installed and pre-configured, starting up automatically when the system boots from the CD.
Please note, this version doesn't contain any installer yet. This is just more like a demo of what can be done with the Tigase server and how it can be integrated with other systems. We have plans to include Tigase installer on one of the next releases though.
I have a few "hard copies" of the LiveCD left from the XMPP Summit. If you are interested in receiving CD displayed on the picture attached to this article please send me your postal address using contact form and I will send the CD over to you.
Please download and try it. All your comments are very welcomed.

i'm try, but i'm not very familiar with java (mmm... ok, don't know java at all...)
So am I! I am waiting for
So am I! I am waiting for the ebuild too ;-)
Seriously. I am the only developer working on the core of Tigase server. Believe or not it's enough work for more than a single person. I wish I could prepare packages for every Linux distro. It is possible but I would need to sacrifice lots of development time. Don't mention I also maintain the project website, SVN repository, projects trackers, e-mail and all other services available in tigase.org.
I have prepared startup scripts for the Gentoo Linux and received startup scripts for Mandriva. They all are in the SVN repository now.
So for now I can offer all the help needed with setting Tigase up in any Linux distribution. If anybody is willing to create package for any Linux distribution I am happy to help with this too, give the SVN access or a separate repository and all the support he needs. I can not however spare any time to do this on my own.
If you have enough knowledge to prepare ebuild for Tigase - go ahead, I will add you to the contributors page.
hmm... if Live CD
hmm...
if Live CD Gentoo-based, where is ebuild for it ? gentoo-bugzilla & layman overlays - silent...
i'm currently use ejabberd but not all users can install it & erlang is... strange lang.

so... "waiting for ebuilds"©
