Still in progress:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1- Get a VPS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are so many options, AWS, GCP, OVH, etc. I used OVH as it was pretty cheap initially and chose the most basic VPS. I use Debian as OS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used OVH too<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.ovh.co.uk\/domains\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3- Install LAMP<\/p>\n\n\n\n I used several links. <\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/linuxconfig.org\/how-to-install-a-lamp-server-on-debian-9-stretch-linux<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The above should give you a working database (MariaDB\/MySQL), PHP(7.0) and a web server (Apache2). <\/p>\n\n\n\n I found an issue trying to get apache and php to work.:<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/stackoverflow.com\/questions\/47024111\/apache-installing-and-running-php-files<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/askubuntu.com\/questions\/451708\/php-script-not-executing-on-apache-server<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n At the end I had to remove a module, add php7.0 module and restart. Afterwards I could thest apache was executing php. Once that was configured I removed the php file as recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If apache+php dont work properly, the next steps will fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4- Install PHPmyAdmin<\/p>\n\n\n\n I used these links:<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.hostingadvice.com\/how-to\/install-phpmyadmin-on-ubuntu\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.digitalocean.com\/community\/tutorials\/how-to-install-and-secure-phpmyadmin-on-debian-9<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 4- Get SSL cert:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can get this for free: https:\/\/letsencrypt.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is so easy to get your certs generated, installed and renewed, that I can’t believe it:<\/p>\n\n\n\nsudo a2dismod mpm_event\nsudo a2enmod php7.0\nsudo systemctl restart apache2<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
