Installation

To install the Buildix 2.1 packages, download and install Ubuntu 7.10. Both Server and Desktop editions are supported. Then do the following on your fresh server as the root user:

  • Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following line to the bottom of the file:
    deb http://buildix.thoughtworks.com/repos/debian buildix main
  • Install the key used to sign the Buildix package repository:
    wget http://buildix.thoughtworks.com/repos/debian/buildix-key.gpg
    apt-key add buildix-key.gpg
  • Update your repository list and install buildix:
    aptitude update
    aptitude install buildix
  • Follow the prompts, and you’re done.

To use it, just point your web browser to your server. Buildix will be installed as the default web site. If you want to use Mingle (and we recommend you give it a go!), you’ll need to accept the license agreement and do some basic configuration. The prompts on the front page will help you configure it. If you don’t want to use Mingle, you need to uninstall it before you can use Buildix.

  • To uninstall Mingle, just run the following command as root:
    aptitude remove mingle
