The Wordpress Blogging JumpBox is a self-contained JumpBox that includes the popular Wordpress blogging platform in a simplified software package.
If you're looking for a reliable open source blogging platform, the WordPress project is a top contender. With its powerful features and open design, it has become incredibly popular among users. Fortunately, a JumpBox has been created that includes WordPress version 2.5.
So, why use a JumpBox? The answer is simple - it provides a simple and efficient way to run open source applications. Although these applications are powerful and low-cost, installing and configuring them can be a hassle. JumpBox removes that headache by delivering these applications in a straightforward way, making them easy to try, run and operate.
Moreover, downloading and using a JumpBox is quick, taking only a few minutes to set up a working application that can serve multiple users. It's also portable, so you can move the entire bundle from one computer to another without needing to reinstall or reconfigure anything, allowing you to start running the application on your desktop and then moving it to a server as usage grows.
When you manually install open source applications, it can be a challenge to protect data. However, JumpBox makes it easy to add automatic backups of the entire state of the application, providing additional safety and security.
Through virtualization software from VMWare, Parallels or Xen, a JumpBox application is a virtual appliance that bundles all the dependencies of the open source application so you can gain the benefits of traditional server virtualization. The platform offers a consistent runtime environment for all the applications, ensuring that the installation and operation of every application is familiar, regardless of the JumpBox you choose to run it on.
The downside is that some requirements are necessary, such as virtualization software from either VMWare, Xen, or Parallels, at least 3GB of free disk space, and system RAM of no less than 1GB (Virtual Machine uses 256MB). However, JumpBox provides fantastic benefits and makes open source applications incredibly accessible to use.
