Wildnet.com is a flexible domain that is focused on effective web integrations, open source computing and content systems.
This site is currently written in Joomla and is simultaneously also hosting other domains with the Virtual Domains extension.
This is at present a testing set of sites hosted by Landis Arnold at Nomadic, Inc.
This was a very functional system which brings the ability to work the "backend" of Magento by actually building and purchasing items you sell,
We used this system marrying first OpenERP 7, then Odoo 8 to Magento 1.x. It was very very effective.
(old bullet points next)
Sadly, systems moved on. Adobe took over Magento, Odoo started becoming closed source and upgrading very very fast. From what I can see, the Odoo/Magento Connector which was part of OCA (Odoo Community Association) stalled out at Odoo 10-11 View on Github . Moreover, it only supported Magento 1.x implementations which became almost impossible to maintain for security reasons because of Adobe's decisions to leave 1.x and its architecture behind.
The OCA/PrestaShop connector is quite active, and probably the best way to proceed now. PrestaShop is easy to install and should be easy to maintain (unlike Magento in my experience from some years ago now).
The fact is that Odoo has effective E-Commerce built in and from a maintenance point of view it may be easiest just to stick with that. But other reasons point to maintaining a separate E-Commerce system, and simply supporting it through Odoo on the back end.

It is tremendously complicated these days keeping track of what you are learning.
As an example, I am diving into the realm of dropping pre-built Drive Images into Cloud Instances. I need to keep track of the difference between a bzip2 and tar file, and how to decompress them. Very nice people have commented their answers in various places. Answers like:
bzip2 -d filename.bz2
tar cvjf myfile.tar.bz *.txt
Certainly there are many more of these as well. I likely have 20 Tabs open talking about all the various approaches, but that is not the point now.
The point now is simply, how to "keep track" and if possible, how to perhaps help other people in similar quests.
3 Basic Elements I am finding useful:
There are others. They all deserve attention, but the point is not the program but the work.
Nothing is perfect and no integrations, yet, are perfect. I do also use
All are also excellent programs:
Like threads in a spider web though, you need to have your own system of reference to keep them together. Things are getting better, but, there is still you in the middle.
Getting things done.. a book and a mantra. The program did not work very well unfortunately (may have had another name - written for PC Tablet computers in about 2005 ?). It should have worked better. The concept was incredible. It just had big, in fact large and untenable, memory leaks.
These are some of the "lower" list fill in's regarding Joomla Meta information in content. Still worth some reasearch. I found the following

Dave Huelsmann gives a great answer and he appears to know Joomla very very well.
I have been running Magento since about 2012 with 1.3x in my memory bank. Up to 1.9x now and really just using Magento as a repository now.
Magento 2.x (2.3x to be precise) is here. It does not work, at present, with this CMS system so I have a linkage taking place through Filemaker from J2Store to Magento and by extension to Odoo.
I will quite likely just take the Magento system down. It will not be supported with updates after this coming June and the time investment of getting 2.x running and keeping it running does not seem available just now). We will see.
Anyway, for now, I am going to start redirecting the URL's to land into this system. Lets see what a pain that becomes. Likely worth the effort but also perhaps now.
Sad, but Magento was aquired by Adobe and like Odoo, they are making it more and more difficult to use it as a Open Source software. Not that either are impossible, but the reigns are steering the team towards privation.
Somewhat the nature of things these days I will say.
All good software, just a bit too time intensive.
I have hosted Turnkeylinux images in the following ways
At present I am hosting nearly everything on Linode, though for the sake of speed and the ability to "turnoff" (and not be charged when not running) I am running a few servers also on the AWS based TKL Hub.
A few caveats. Linode, if using their Kernel, will resize Drive Image sizes along with FileSystem Sizes very well.
It takes some work to do this on the TKL Hub - this is the current HOW To:
https://www.turnkeylinux.org/docs/expand-existing-root-volume-size
though I would skip the AWS section and just clone bigger, but then still do all of the following in SSH.
To be most specific:
gdisk /dev/xvda
parted
fix
resizepart
resize2fs /dev/xvda2
Instructions in the link above have "
"gdisk -1 /dev/xvda " and I had just now to skip the -1 to get it to work.
It would be better if everything just "resized" and it might be easiest to use TKLBAM for that just installing a bigger instance.
All things considered, Linode Feels "more like mine". but it is still important to learn different systems from time to time.
Bear Metal is somewhat going away. So much work and energy to maintain a server these days.
