Just shy of a year since our v14.1 release I am relieved to announce that Core v14.2 is finally ready for prime time! It's been a while in the making, but v14.2 Core is now available for immediate launch in the cloud via the Hub. Amazon MarketPlace ... [More] builds are on the way too, although no ETA at present. (Almost) all of the other builds (e.g. ISO, OVA, Xen, Proxmox etc.) can also be downloaded from the Core appliance page. Alternatively, all the currently appliance builds are available for direct download from one of our mirrors. The highlights for this release include, a significant confconsole update, as well as new versions of TKLBAM and Webmin. It will also include a new OpenStack build courtesy of Tomas (from 'Home at Cloud'). Why just Core? Unlike our last release, this one will be staged. We are releasing v14.2 Core independently, with others coming soon. The other appliances will be released in batches, as they are ready. I am hoping to release the first batch within weeks. I can't promise anything, but if you have a specific appliance that you'd really love to see a new version of, please comment below and I'll do my best to prioritise it's update and release. The more specific you can be about what you want/need, the better. Confconsole - new and improved v1.0.0 Beyond, the staged nature of this release, the other most significant change in v14.2 is a major revamp of Confconsole (including some reasonable docs too). You can read all about Confconsole and the new v1.0.0 features in the docs here, but I have noted some highlights below. The latest development has primarily been done by Anton Pyrogovsky and Stefan Davis. I had a fair bit of involvement in the Let's Encrypt component. But it wouldn't have been the same without community powerhouse; Ken Robinson. Ken kindly devoted a ton of time and effort to testing and feedback. Thanks to all of you, but especially you Ken! You rock man! :) Confconsole v1.0.0 highlights Let's Encrypt integration: You've been asking for it for ages, now here it is! We've finally integrated an easy way to get free Let's Encrypt SSL certificates and bundled it with TurnKey OOTB. Just fire up Confconsole from the commandline and look for it in the "Advanced" menu. Full docs are here. Mail relay configuration: Another feature that has been asked for, is easy email SMTP relay configuration. Actually we've done one better. We have researched the available third party options and have concluded that SendinBlue are currently providing the best mix of features and value for money. So we've made SendinBlue config super simple! Just sign up for a free SendinBlue account and after a few keystrokes in Confconsole, and you're away! On the other hand, we don't like to lock anyone in, so alternate custom SMTP relay configuration is also straight forward. Again, look for it in the Confconsole "Advanced" menu. Full docs are here. Other highlights: There's quite a bit of other added functionality, but particular highlights for me are the Blog Tags:  news development debian community appliances release stable confconsole [Less]
