Ushahidi - Crowdsourcing Crisis Information

Ushahidi - Crowdsourcing Crisis Information

Ushahidi (Swahili for "testimony" or "witness") is a crowdsourcing application created in the aftermath of Kenya's disputed 2007 presidential election that enables local observers to submit reports using their mobile phones or the internet, while simultaneously creating a temporal and geospatial archive of events.

This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

• Ushahidi configurations:

  • Installed from upstream source code to /var/www/ushahidi

• SSL support out of the box.

• Adminer administration frontend for MySQL (listening on port 12322 - uses SSL).

• Postfix MTA (bound to localhost) to allow sending of email (e.g., password recovery).

• Webmin modules for configuring Apache2, PHP, MySQL and Postfix.

Credentials (passwords set at first boot)

• Webmin, SSH, MySQL, Adminer: username root
• Ushahidi: username is email set on first boot
