Re: Server Specs

Thanks Cam. I'll try and go to that. And I am not looking to get back into development full time. It's for personal use as well as doing some small things for friends and keeping my skills up. This server won't be public facing. For that I'd send clients to their own hosting. Sent from my iP

Re: Server Specs

I'd do something like that, but I'm retiring from the Army in six months and I'm trying to keep my expenses down until I have a new job. I think I'll stick with the cube for now and see how that works. Sent from my iPhone 6+ > On Feb 24, 2015, at 5:39 PM, Zaphod Beeblebrox > wrote: > >

Re: Server Specs

I can’t say that it’s my favorite either. I just keep a server at DigitalOcean for $10/month. It’s my 2nd choice though and hosting my own hardware would be 3rd. On Tue, Feb 24, 2015 at 4:28 PM, Bruce Sorge wrote: > > I do have VMware and windows 7 installed. I just don't like using it.

I do have VMware and windows 7 installed. I just don't like using it. Sent from my iPhone 6+ > On Feb 24, 2015, at 5:17 PM, Zaphod Beeblebrox > wrote: > > > you have a macbook correct? Why not just download vmware fusion and > install whatever server software you want? Even though youâ€

Re: Server Specs

you have a macbook correct? Why not just download vmware fusion and install whatever server software you want? Even though you’re sharing CPU, it’s gotta be faster than the specs of the Cube On Fri, Feb 20, 2015 at 7:57 PM, Bruce Sorge wrote: > > I need to build a budget web server for d

Re: Server Specs

Another good idea is to check out Bitnami as they have packages for most of the common stuff that are exceeding easy to install. On Sat, Feb 21, 2015 at 6:37 PM, Bruce Sorge wrote: > > I need to research the cloud option. But the server would be nice for file > storage as well as web developme

Re: Server Specs

I need to research the cloud option. But the server would be nice for file storage as well as web development. Sent from my iPhone 6+ > On Feb 21, 2015, at 6:26 PM, Maureen wrote: > > > In that case, you might want to do CentOS instead of Ubuntu, as most > hosting companies use that. I o

Re: Server Specs

In that case, you might want to do CentOS instead of Ubuntu, as most hosting companies use that. I only used Ubuntu because that was what the music software runs on. Another good choice is just to get a cloud instance for development..lets you work with whatever software you need to learn, and al

Re: Server Specs

Yeah, it looks perfect for my needs. I will not do any hosting, this is just for my development environment. I want to duplicate my hosting environment so that when a new site goes live, there are no surprises. > On Feb 21, 2015, at 5:32 PM, Maureen wrote: > > > Those Cobalt servers are awe

Re: Server Specs

Those Cobalt servers are awesome. I have several and I have an eBay alert to let me know when one shows up for bid so I can add to my collection. Handy little buggers. On Sat, Feb 21, 2015 at 12:31 PM, Bruce Sorge wrote: > > Thanks again. I found the manual and it looks like this will work fin

Re: Server Specs

Thanks again. I found the manual and it looks like this will work fine for me. I am going to buy it now. It appears a lot less expensive than building one from scratch. > On Feb 21, 2015, at 11:47 AM, Maureen wrote: > > > If you google you can find the instructional manual online. That wil

Re: Server Specs

If you google you can find the instructional manual online. That will give you a good idea of what you need to make it work. On Sat, Feb 21, 2015 at 10:09 AM, Bruce Sorge wrote: > > Thanks Maureen. I am looking at a Cobalt cube 3 Server Appliance > (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sun-Cobalt-Cobalt-Qu

Re: Server Specs

I built my server farm with used Cobalt servers that I bought for a few bucks on ebay. Running Ubantu. Apache, php, mysql, railo (lucee), and a bunch of other languages and big data tools that I use for converting data. Also open source audio and video tools. On Feb 20, 2015 8:58 PM, "Bruce Sor

I need to build a budget web server for doing development on small sites. It will only reside in my apartment. I have not built one in over a decade, so I'd like some ideas. I am thinking mid-tower with a low end graphics card since it will more than likely be linux based. I'll have CF and PHP, Ap
