Two weeks in using Bitnami. Very impressed and satisfied so far. Have set up two development servers that are now running exactly as I wished. The Bitnami component of the elapsed time took about an hour to get fully fleshed LAMP servers with all the apps I wanted. The Fred component -- making application mistakes, debugging them, fixing, deleting, restoring -- took the remainder of the two weeks.
My Bitnami wish list as of today:
- dashboard: add new apps to existing servers
- dashboard: rename of backups. "Restored-from-backup-20110915.bitnamiapp.com" is pretty cumbersome.
- dashboard: run ctlscript.sh from dashboard. why not? would save a lot of time on stop/restarts.
- realtime support - chat or IRC (#commented b/c I realize this is a business issue depending on $ and resources)
- higher "N" of users -- this forum needs more activity to be reliable as a trouble-shooting tool'
- a different editor for Answers - the way this thing does list bullets is stupid! ;-) try it.
What are other ideas?
