Sympl has a number of changes compared to Symbiosis other than the names.

  • The 'admin' user has been replaced with a user named 'sympl', which has a normal home directory.
  • MariaDB/MySQL now has a 'sympl' user, which can use logged into via the command line, or used via phpMyAdmin, and the password can be found in /home/sympl/mysql_password.
  • There is now a sympl command line tool which deals with common tasks including creating sites, email and databases (this is currently incomplete but should be finished fairly soon).
  • All packages and command-line utilities have been renamed, most notably:
* symbiosis-httpd becomes sympl-web
* symbiosis-ssl becomes sympl-ssl
* symbiosis-email becomes sympl-mail
* symbiosis-ftpd becomes sympl-ftp
* ...and so on.
This means that symbiosis-httpd-configure becomes sympl-web-configure.
  • IMAP/POP3/SMTP mail all supports SNI by default.
  • Chat/XMPP/Jabber support has been retired, as there was little indication of it being used.
  • There's is now a sympl-filesystem-security tasks which runs hourly and sets correct permissions to allow CMS's (such as Wordpress) to auto-update easily.
