It works!

This is the default welcome page used to test the correct operation of the Apache2 server after installation on Ultimate Edition Developer systems. It is based on the equivalent page on Debian, from which the Ultimate Edition Apache packaging is derived. If you can read this page, it means that the Apache HTTP server installed at this site is working properly. You should replace this file (located at /srv/http/index.html) before continuing to operate your HTTP server.

Ultimate Edition Arch: Your Trusted Source for Rolling Releases

As a seasoned expert in building operating systems since 2006, I've had the pleasure of working with various platforms, initially based on Ubuntu and built from the ground up. With over four decades of software development experience, starting at just 11 years old, you can rest assured that your needs are in good hands.

About Ultimate Edition Arch

Ultimate Edition Arch is a "Rolling Release" operating system, designed to provide users with the latest and greatest technologies, while also ensuring stability and reliability. Our commitment to continuous improvement means that you'll always have access to the latest features, security patches, and bug fixes.

Why Choose Ultimate Edition Arch?

While other platforms may promise ease of use and simplicity, they often compromise on security and customization options. At Ultimate Edition Arch, we believe in giving users the freedom to shape their own experience. Our operating system is designed to be highly customizable, allowing you to tailor it to your specific needs.

A Word About Security

We're not fans of WordPress (and for good reason!). A simple plugin can open doors to your servers, making them vulnerable to spamming and hacking. At Ultimate Edition Arch, we prioritize security and privacy above all else. Our operating system is designed with robust security features built-in, ensuring that your data remains safe and secure.

What You Can Expect from Ultimate Edition Arch Developer

As a developer-focused operating system, Ultimate Edition Arch Developer offers you various statistical information at your fingertips. However, please note that not all editions include web-based services by default, so some features might not work as expected. Lite based operating systems for example.

  • Netdata - View real-time statistics and get insights into your system's performance.
  • Linux Dash - Get a graphical overview of your system's statistics.

For added security, mod security is enabled by default with a custom server signature. This helps to strengthen our overall server security and prevent potential threats.

About Ultimate Edition Arch Developer

This operating system was built from scratch using tmosb (uecorebuilder) and auto-configured for maximum performance. You can learn more about the building process by exploring the version information page or tmosb.

Configuration Overview

Ultimate Edition's Apache2 default configuration is different from the upstream default configuration, and split into several files optimized for interaction with Ultimate Edition tools. The configuration system is fully documented in /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian.gz. 

/etc/apache2/
|-- apache2.conf
|       `--  ports.conf
|-- mods-enabled
|       |-- *.load
|       `-- *.conf
|-- conf-enabled
|       `-- *.conf
|-- sites-enabled
|       `-- *.conf
  • apache2.conf is the main configuration file. It puts the pieces together by including all remaining configuration files when starting up the web server.
  • ports.conf is always included from the main configuration file. It is used to determine the listening ports for incoming connections, and this file can be customized anytime.
  • Configuration files in the mods-enabled/, conf-enabled/, and sites-enabled/ directories contain particular configuration snippets which manage modules, global configuration fragments, or virtual host configurations, respectively.
  • They are activated by symlinking available configuration files from their respective *-available/ counterparts. These should be managed by using our helpers a2enmod, a2dismod, a2ensite, a2dissite, and a2enconf, a2disconf
  • The binary is called apache2. Due to the use of environment variables, in the default configuration, apache2 needs to be started/stopped with /etc/init.d/apache2 or apache2ctl. Calling /usr/bin/apache2 directly will not work with the default configuration.
Document Roots

By default, Ultimate Edition does not allow access through the web browser to any file apart from those located in /srv/http, public_html directories (when enabled) and /usr/share. If your site is using a web document root located elsewhere (such as in /srv), you may need to whitelist your document root directory in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.

The default Ultimate Edition document root is /srv/html/. You can make your own virtual hosts under /var/www. This is different from previous releases which provides better security out of the box.

The default Ultimate Edition media root is /srv/media/. You can add media to this folder or symbolically link to where you store your media.

The default Ultimate Edition FTP root is /srv/ftp/. You can add files to this folder or symbolically link to where you store your files. It also supports SFTP. See the Services & Networking section for more info.

The default Ultimate Edition share root is /srv/share/. Anything you wish to share on your network you can either put in this folder or symbolically link.

Reporting Problems

Please use the Ultimate Edition-bug tool to report bugs in the Apache2 package with Ultimate Edition. However, check existing bug reports before reporting a new bug.

Please report bugs specific to modules (such as PHP and others) to respective packages, not to the web server itself.

TMOSB (TheeMahn's Operating System Builder)

What is TMOSB? First, I apologize for the outdated manual (here) that's been in use since 2006. I'll do my best to bridge the gap and provide a comprehensive guide to using TMOSB.

I'm a programmer at heart, not a writer of manuals, so please bear with me as we explore the world of operating system building together!

O/S Types

Options

Other command line options

  • Build - Build an O/S. Example: sudo tmosb build xfce gamers style fallout themed mac windows max compression
  • Test - Test the O/S in a virtual machine. Example: tmosb test out/ultimate-arch-lite-2026.04.23-x86_64-xfce.iso
  • Memory - Builds the entire O/S in memory. Much faster results at the expense of large quantities of memory.

Artificial Intelligence

A.I. is just a terminal command away! Simply open your terminal and type "ai" followed by the Enter key to get started.

Privacy

Our commitment to privacy is unwavering. We do not track our users, nor have we ever done so for over 30 years. To further ensure your privacy, we've implemented multiple measures to protect your data.

Proactive Measures

  • Privacy-based Integrated DNS (Domain Name Service): Our system uses a privacy-focused DNS to ensure that all online activities are secure and anonymous.
  • Privacy-based Web Browser (Librewolf): We've integrated Librewolf, a browser that prioritizes user privacy, to further safeguard your online experience.

Overriding Default Settings

We've taken it a step further by overriding default settings to prioritize your privacy:

  • Default Pref Settings: We've set the following preferences to ensure maximum privacy:
    • browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled = true
    • browser.safebrowsing.phishing.enabled = true
    • browser.safebrowsing.blockedURIs.enabled = true
  • Google Safe Browsing API Integration: We've integrated the Google Safe Browsing API to provide enhanced protection against malware and phishing.

Further Enhancements

  • Privacy Badger - Integrated Browser Plugin: Our system includes a Privacy Badger plugin, which helps block trackers and ensures your online anonymity.
  • KeePassXC - Local Password Storage with Browser Integration: We've integrated KeePassXC, a password manager that stores your credentials locally and syncs them across devices.
  • VPN (Virtual Private Network) Integration: Our system includes VPN integration to provide an additional layer of security and anonymity for your online activities.

We're going the opposite way by prioritizing our users' privacy. It's none of anyone else's business what you do online, and we'll continue to fight for your right to remain anonymous.

I almost forgot to mention another remarkable application I wrote at least 20 years ago –

RepoStorm. This innovative tool has played a crucial role in fixing many packages within this operating system, significantly boosting the level of security beyond whats available on this planet. The impact is undeniable, providing unparalleled protection for users and their data.

Security

Security is paramount in this operating system. To verify the current security posture, simply type:

sudo lynis audit system

This command will provide a comprehensive report on the systems security configuration, giving you a detailed understanding of where you stand at the time of build.

Security Power: 84%.


I did not by default jack up the security level in the O/S, I leave that up to you. Carries a high security rating out of the box, way higher than any O/S I have seen off the snap.

As for security settings, I intentionally leave the default level up to you. The operating system is designed to carry a high security rating right out of the box, surpassing many other popular options. In fact, it's one of the most secure operating systems available today.

sudo uno --security


The ultimate security booster! With this command, you can further elevate the operating system's defenses and push it to even greater heights of security. I mean, who doesn't love a good challenge?

Ever wondered why I'm always on the lookout for potential vulnerabilities? Well, my wife isn't too thrilled about it either... But in all seriousness, I've been a hacker for years (or should I say, "cracker"?), and I know that security is paramount. When massive traffic comes my way trying to find a hole, I see it as an opportunity to write software that closes those gaps. And you benefit from my wife's... let's just say, "tolerance" of my hacking habits!

I've since turned over a new leaf and now use my skills for good, helping people rather than causing chaos. But, you know how it is - anytime something bad happens, I'm always the first one they call (or accuse). Ah, the life of an O/S architect, programmer, and former "cracker"!
