Bugzilla - Bug Tracking System powered by TurnKey GNU/Linux
TurnKey GNU/Linux | 14.1Linux/Unix, Debian 8 (Jessie) - 32-bit Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
One Click install is April Fool's joke.
$0.00/hr is too much to pay for a product that does not install. AWS is a complicated service. You must really be a server expert to navigate the implementation. The Help info doesn't. At any level. The lack of any diagnostic log entries was the end of me. If a software package cannot send an email like it should, then it should complain loudly in the log.
I went through the trouble of trying because I figured AWS would be cheaper than other servers or services. After the 'installation' AWS was nice to give me an estimate of what I would pay if it worked. The cost was 50% higher than a service I already had.
In my opinion, cloud services are still an immature technology. There is no standard for service structure, cost structure, performance measurement or user interfaces for maintenance.
There are simpler PaaS and SaaS platforms to use. Look for them. Or, hire a server expert to set you up and keep you up.

Great little Turnkey appliance!
After one failed attempt to build my own Bugzilla server from scratch, I decided I had nothing to lose (FREE!) by trying this out. I got it up and running right away, even as a Linux admin novice! I've since tried another Turnkey product (MINEOS)as well. They are relatively quick setup, and definitely well thought out. I'm converted to their solutions!
Works great
Worked right out of the box. Exactly as advertised. Saved me some time. I need to fill the 20 words here in order to finish up my comments.
Again, this is great stuff. Thanx.
Worked as expected
Just countering the other review. I had no problems installing this. And now I need to pad this review out because it's not 20 words long.
Couldn't get it running
Following the setup instructions I got stuck at an error message saying "could not connect to database server". I feel that a self contained appliance should come configured correctly.
