Installation profiles

Installation profiles are a feature in Drupal core that was added in the 5.x series. The Drupal installer allows you to specify an installation profile which defines which modules should be enabled, and can customize the new installation after they have been installed. This will allow customized "distributions" that enable and configure a set of modules that work together for a specific kind of site (Drupal for bloggers, Drupal for musicians, Drupal for developers, and so on).

Open Media

Open Media Project Logo

The primary goal of the Open Media Install Profile is to leverage Drupal to give local communities more control over their public access channel. The system is built on several existing modules and custom modules developed to meet the workflow needs of a public access station.

The Open Media Install Profile is also committed to developing modules that are flexible enough for a variety of uses beyond public access channels.

The initial release only includes the Equipment Reservations and Social Networking Features. As new releases of the other parts of the system are updated, they will be added to the install profile. This does not mean you can't download this version of the profile and then download and configure om_show yourself.

This profile will eventually include the following features and functionality,

Hostmaster

The hostmaster profile is a component of the Aegir hosting system.

Ægir is a new set of contributed modules for Drupal that aims to solve the problem of managing a large number of Drupal sites. It does this by providing you with a simple Drupal based hosting front end for your entire network of sites. To deploy a new site you simply have to create a new Site node. To backup or upgrade sites, you simply manage your site nodes as you would any other node.

The hostmaster profile ties together the functionality of the hosting front end and provisioning back end into a complete package. It handles initialization and auto-detection of your initial configuration settings, and directs you to the friendly installation wizard. To start using the Aegir system, you will install a new site using the hostmaster profile, which you will then use to manage all of the sites you host.

For more information on the system, and the other components, please take a look at the Aegir overview wiki page

Aegir development is sponsored by Development Seed

Aegir 0.1 was developed by Bryght / Raincity Studios and partners.

Drupal Social Network Framework Install Profile

This install profile ties existing contrib modules together to more easily create Drupal-powered social networking sites.

The purpose of this project is to integrate existing social networking features together, to extend Drupal to include "typical" social networking features, and to create a baseline for social network functionality.

For more information on the development of this profile, see the DSNF Wiki. This project is funded by the Google Summer of Code 2009.

This install profile does not yet fully work.

The profile depends on External Links and Devel at the moment.

You can install other modules during the installation and the module selection page can be made to redetect the list of modules.
