Webstack - Host Distribution

Created by: Lester Caine, Last modification: Yesterday 20:21

The stack is built on the Tumbleweed Intel or AMD 64-bit desktops, laptops, and servers (x86_64) Distribution. Nowadays it probably makes more sense to simply use the Network version since in many cases the rest of the packages are already out of date, and it takes as long to download a 4.3Gb image as it does to simply download only the packages needed for a text only server install. Just what else is added at installation is also a little academic. It is probably quicker simply to install the basic server only suite and add any extras later. Adding Nginx and Firebird is not possible anyway, and selecting PHP8 will also drag in Apache which I don't want installing, so after those three, well three sets of, packages I need to dcide what else is needed.

Building a new machine and then open up SSH so that I can copy everything over Coding - cross machine security

nginx - straight from the distribution
PHP - also from the distribution
Webstack - Firefbird - downloaded from the firebirdsql site ( remember to install tommath first! )

logrotate - runs as an additional service rather than via cron
