If we choose the Persistent mode, all changes will be stored in the application concrete of our pendrive. orb format, which is intended to take up little space in case we have to use it on a USB pendrive.Īs with any Live USB of most GNU / Linux distributions, the applications will automatically enter Portable or Persistent mode when executed from the USB flash drive.
The next thing is that the downloaded file is a compressed file in. As we have never talked about this, the first thing we have to say is how this application package works: first of all, the included applications are available from the Orbital-Apps website (you have a link at the end of the article). It's a whole different adventure.Since yesterday, Monday, May 16, Orbital-Apps has made available to users Portable Apps for Ubuntu 16.04. The portable Moodle I use lets me move it across drives, pcs and networks, fork it trivially, give it to non technical users with zero configuration, experiment, mess it up without consequence and even offer it for download to other people via my blog.I've just installed the bitnami stack Matt suggested. Even better at work where I have a customer facing role and end up on 4 or 5 different PCs in a day but can keep working on the same software while I do it, even when the desktop or login isn't mine. The beauty of portable apps is that your work environment can sit in your pocket. Nearly everything I need to achieve I can achieve on software running off a pen drive or network drive (despite the IT usage policy). I've spent years waiting for ( permission) the techs to install the software I need to be productive and I've been (bored) challenged by the (fight) process. I can't boot a pc at work from a pen drive. This is all good stuff but it still doesn't cut it for me. You can pick something like that up fairly cheaply on Ebay if you want something on the move, screen size is a bit of an issue though. I put Linux Mint on it with LAMP, Moodle, Aptana, runs ok, boots in 40 seconds, would be faster with Lubuntu but I wanted a nicer interface. I just bought an SSD for an old netbook I had stopped using after it was crippled by Windows 7 updates. Probably a few other guides out there and maybe better ways to do it. If you want it on a bootable USB you can do that but you would have to set bios on any machine you wanted to use it on to boot from USB so its not that portable, you could not use it on a PC in a library for example. Unpack Moodle in /var/www/moodle and it should resolve without additional virtual hosts entry. From Ubuntu software center I think the packages to look for are apache2, mysql-server, there is a php module for apache, phpmyadmin if you want to use that.
