esesen
With all the daily activities that users have their computers go through, one could expect that over time the software on these devices usually becomes cluttered with unused and/or unwanted files and data as well as some kind of problem just waiting for the opportunity to halt your progress when you have to get something done yesterday! And what is the normal fix? Call your support staff and wait for them to work you into their schedule for the repairs. What if there was a way for you to fix the problem easily? Introducing Esesen. This software can return your computer to a out-of-the-box state so that your productivity is as high as it was on the first day you started working on your computer! Not to be confused with the Windows restore feature, this software replaces your entire system with one that you choose to restore instead of a couple of files that Windows restore will replace, but that often times does not actually resolve the problem and occasionally creates new problems.
Administrators will enjoy the variety of configuration options that pertain to this software including local and/or remote storage of images, optional WAN connectivity, and the ability to schedule automated restores (in an upcoming version) to keep your network in a constant pristine state. And for those admins that are familiar with ssh, this software provides a way to remotely gain access into a workable system to perform any detailed modifications to the device.
License
This project's codebase is licensed under the CPLv2 unless a valid CPLv1 license has been purchased. More information about both of these licenses can be found under the "Our Licenses" link of our homepage.
Installation
Just like the rest of our software, we have engineered our installation process to be as simple as possible. After downloading the desired version, you can either install from the command line or from a web browser. In both instances it is important to remember that you will need to move the downloaded file into a directory that can be accessed by your favorite webserver (e.g. Apache, lighttpd, etc) before performing any of the below steps:
Command Line
$ cd /path/to/uncompressed/package $ tar xzf webbooks_x.x.x.x.soft $ cd webbooks $ php -f install.php
The wizard will then ask you a couple of questions and then proceed with the automated install.
Web Browser
$ cd /path/to/hosted/files $ cp /path/to/downloaded/webbooks_x.x.x.x.soft ./ $ tar xzf webbooks_x.x.x.x.soft
Now you will need to open a web browser and direct it to the appropriate URI that points to the hosted, uncompressed webBooks directory referenced in the above steps while appending 'webbooks/default.php?p=webbooks.setup.html' at the end. This will start the graphical installation routine. For example, lets say the '/path/to/hosted/files' was '/var/www' and that you had a local web server (e.g. apache, nginx, shttp, etc) running on 127.0.0.1. If 'webBooks' was uncompressed to '/var/www/webbooks', you would open a web browser and point it to 'http://127.0.0.1/webbooks/default.php?p=webbooks.setup.html'.
It is important to note that a default administrators account will be created during the installation process. The default username and password for that account will be the word 'admin' (without quotes) for both values.

Design Goals
mention that this needs to be setup on a work group as most SOHO and small organizations don't take advantage of a true domain
