Hi Rik,
Turnkey looks interesting...
You can get a working Web2py / Turnkey system up and running fairly
quickly using the "vanilla" Turnkey installation and then running a
slightly modified version of the "setup-we2py-ubuntu.sh script on the
same system. This will allow you to break down the task into pieces
and you can slowly "convert" the bash script to Python rather than
taking on the entire task in one fell swoop in addition to getting a
"working system" along the way.
setup-we2py-ubuntu.sh could be modified or run manually in some places
where sudo is used.
So for example near the end of the script instead of:
sudo -u www-data python -c "from gluon.widget import console;
console();"
and
sudo -u www-data python -c "from gluon.main import save_password;
save_password(raw_input('admin password: '),443)"u
you could "become" the www-data user with
su www-data
change to /home/www-data/web2py
and then run the commands:
python -c "from gluon.widget import console; console();"
and
python -c "from gluon.main import save_password;
save_password(raw_input('admin password: '),443)"
echo "done!"
In the mean time I am going to try it myself... looks like fun.
Cheers,
Chris
