Collabtive is web-based project management software intended for small to medium-sizes businesses and freelancers. It is an open Source alternative to proprietary tools like Basecamp. Key features include tracking of projects, milestones, and tasks, importing from Basecamp, timetracking and reporting.

This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

• Collabtive configurations:

  • Installed from upstream source code to /var/www/collabtive

    Security note: Updates to Collabtive may require supervision so they ARE NOT configured to install automatically. See below for updating Collabtive.

• SSL support out of the box.

• Adminer administration frontend for MySQL (listening on port 12322 - uses SSL).

• Postfix MTA (bound to localhost) to allow sending of email (e.g., password recovery).

• Webmin modules for configuring Apache2, PHP, MySQL and Postfix.

Always ensure that you have a current and tested backup before performing an upgrade. Ideally also do a test upgrade proceedure on a development server, before updating your production server.
