We’d like to take the opportunity of this year’s Linuxtag to meet on Friday, May 30, 2008
5:00 PM with other Django users and developers to have an informal meetup and some cold beverages. The gathering place is in front of the main entrance.
Since version 3.56 Virtualmin Pro is slowly gaining support for Python based web applications because it includes an official install script for Django. This makes my version of a Django install script slightly unnecessary, even though the official version only supports stable releases (0.96.1) and not the SVN trunk (which we all know is quite common in Djangoland). Anyway, I think this is great news.
Other Python based web applications also benefit from the official Django install script of course because there are some helpful features in Virtualmin’s codebase now. Which brings us to:
Virtualmin already does a great job managing Subversion repositories for virtual servers but misses an install scripts for a web application that makes working with these repositories easier later in daily work. Since I really like Trac for its ease of use, powerful features and ubiquity in the developer scene I wrote an install script for it: trac.pl.
Just put it in /etc/webmin/virtual-server/scripts/ and go to the “Install script” section. Keep in mind that you need to create the repositories (important: with “Allow anonymous read access?” set to yes) and give the users the appropriate rights to access the SVN repositories before. The installation looks like the following image and results is this Trac installation: http://jannisleidel.com/trac/.
I used a server running Debian Etch and Virtualmin Pro 3.56 to build that and would love to hear what experience you have with it.
