rPath Appliance Agent project is an extensible application framework for the administration of appliance devices through a web-based user interface.
The framework is comprised of individual component plugins which offer specialized functionality, such as a message log interface, user account preferences, system updates, and entitlement management capabilities.
You can also develop and add plugins to the rAA framework, extending capabilities and functionality for your specific requirements.
To set up your environment for developing rAA, untar the devel.tar.bz2 tarball in the docs directory into your development directory. It should contain the following files:
- README.devel:
this file.
- dev.cfg:
configuration for the development environment.
- raa:
symbolic link to the rAA installation, usually
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/raa.
- raa-service:
used by the startup script for the rAA service daemon.
- raa_service_dev.conf:
configuration file for the rAA service daemon. This contains a pluginDirs

Virtual Appliances are nano-sized virtual machines with Web user interfaces for deploying instant infrastructure and applications.
The are Gentoo Linux based and optimized for use in VMware.
Summary Instructions for using the Base Virtual Appliance
Download the Virtual Appliance.
If you do not have VMware Player, Workstations, Server, GSX, or ESX, Download VMware Virtual Player or VMware Virtual Server and install it.
Unpack the Virtual Appliance zip or tar.bz2 file.
Use your VMWare product to open and run the VirtualAppliancesBase.vmx file
Observe your VMWare console. The Virtual Appliance IP address will be printed there.
Using your Web Browser, open the Virtual Appliance Management console at https://your_ipaddress:8000/
The Mangement console listens on port 8000 and uses https.
Login to the admin console. The factory username:password is admin:admin.
Change the admin password to something secret through Configuration|Authentication
Enter shared storage information in Configuration|Storage
Your shared storage files will now be available via the webserver on the Virtual Appliance at http://your_ipaddress
Enhancements:
- This is a new Virtual Appliance featuring an instant PostgreSQL server and phpPgAdmin.
- It is a fully self contained Virtual Appliance, only 14MB to download, and ready to use with no configuration.

NagiosOnCD is a linux live CDROM for using Nagios with minimal effort. The main purpose are distributed Nagios sensors, but you can also use NagiosOnCD for small installations and education. There is a preconfigured VMware appliance available using the ISO image of NagiosOnCD. The appliance runs Nagios out of the box.
The configuration of NagiosOnCD is based on files. If you are able to configure Debian/GNU linux with a text editor, you will have no problem to configure NagiosOnCD. Only a small set of files (plus your Nagios configuration) needs some
configuration, i.e. network setup for ip address (default: dhcp), hostname an so on.
Main features:
- Linux kernel 2.6.17.13
- unionfs 1.3
- nagios-2.5
- nagios-plugins-1.4.3
