auto installer script

perhaps this feature has been asking by others, but I dont know.
I wish there is an auto installer script that can run on ispconfig like what fantastico/installatron/softaculous can ran on cpanel/directadmin

Softaculous developer seems very nice and try to make as many as possible script can be installed on various panel.
http://www.softaculous.net/

Other options is simplescript, it's free, hosted installed on their servers but can integrated well with many panel. hopefully ispconfig and simplescript developer can works each others.

below is list of script supported by simplescript
http://www.simplescripts.com/script_list

 

Those scripts doesn't have a GPL license

 

I will create something like this for install drupal (this is just an example)

Add a new remoting function that will install an open source package:

remoting::installDrupal($session_id, $client_id, $web_id, $params) {

//1. Create the database
//2. Copy drupal files in the client web
//3. Execute a script that will install drupal with the current $params
//4. Done

}

What do you think of this idea?

I wish to know what do you think about installing open source software (by deman) to client websites?

 

Hello till and thanks for your reponse.

So what you mean is to create a new plugin here: (just an example)

server/plugins-available/installer_plugin.inc.php

Here I will create all the functions (install, uninstall a drupal/wordpress/etc to a client) to manage the "universal package installer format"?

Some UI will be useful as you said to manage that.

Then with the remoting class, I just add a new record in the DB saying "I will create a drupal site in the site id = 1".

And finally the server.sh cron file will be executed and install the site.

Thanks for your feedback in advance.

 

I guess I forgot to said that I'm doing a plugin for thehostingtool a.k.a THT (third party open source software billing system, etc ) to integrate it with ISPConfig 3.

So THT will called the remoting ISPConfig3 functions.

 

Great! I will write a proposal and then I will ask for suggestions, etc.

 

What I know, something like that is in the bugtracker system as a feature request. http://bugtracker.ispconfig.org/ind...=&openedfrom=&openedto=&closedfrom=&closedto=

So you could use the Application Packaging Standard for your plugin.

 

Great I read some about the apsstandard.org seems to be open and free. It comes from a Non profit organization. It sounds good. I will read the documentation to adopt it.

 

any news about this? is this going to be implemented?

or this feature already exists by installing a plugin?

 

We are working on it.

 

Hi falko,

it is great news for me. Would it be possible to automate upgrade by using this new tool? Especially Joomla has quite easy way to upgrade by installing patch only. Some other need sql patch too but upgrade is straightforward also. Could you add this tool to roadmap please?

aefer free from softaculous

Okay I found the answer of my question. perhaps you / your client can use aefer from softaculous which is free.

http://www.aefer.com/

or you can use http://www.simplescripts.com/

But again if Softaculous can work properly with ISPconfig would good too.
or other installer would be great.

 

From what I understand, Aefer is only going to put the files in place, while we need a full automated installation, e.g. fill in the database with sensible data related to the customer (starting from the default language).

 

As always, thanks falko. Great product.

Until then, people may want to checkout a description of an amped up ISPConfig3 perfect server build tweaked with Drupal dependencies, Drush, AEGIR, Git, Webmin, etc. (http://howtoforge.net/forums/showthread.php?t=53188)

The automatic build script will be released in the next few days for anyone wanting to test or review it to see which tweaks are made during the build.

 

Hi.
The script is already accessible?
Where it is possible to take script for the test?

 

I guess this never went anywhere.

 

I think the billing module was more important.
