The folder name in the VPS folder structure in
/var/www/for the domains can be choosen as you like, for example:/var/www/domaincom/
All apache tutorials found in a quick search do choose the domain or subdomain name including the respective dot's like this:/var/www/domain.com/
Both options are possible for a correct working environment.

.conf files in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ refer to the actual domain names and their settings. Even tho these .conf file names also could be chosen probably at will, as the definitions about the actual domains refereed are given inside those files, we'll stick to the real sub/domain names in this case as it's quite reasonable and logical to do so.We will address the details for a step by step change from a single VPS single IP domain hosting to a multiple name-based single IP virtual hosting in answers to this topic:
- Inicial VPS domain hosting served at:
/var/www/html/ - Name-based virtual hosting domain VPS where several domains are served by one IP, leaving /html in place if a client request doesn’t match any other sites, like proposed in this digitalOcean tutorial:

This tutorial is an adaption of the tutorial "creating a friendica server - ubuntu" by @Hank G ☑️ based on the experience of the installation report by @…ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ jesuisatire bitPickup:https://squeet.me/display/962c3e10-5765-2e86-4a15-589579746174
and specific help by @Raroun.
Server specs and friendica version used:
VPS server | Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
PHP Version 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.14
4 Core CPU, 8 GB Ram with 300GB NVME Disk
Friendica [STABLE] | 'Giant Rhubarb' 2023.05 - 1518
SPOILER - click to open/close || Installation environment and HowTo
The only reasonable way to work with a VPSserver on the web is using the console.If you are not familiar with that don't worry, it is easy and the only thing you have to do is being able to copy/paste the commands displayed:
¡
Copy/paste only the codeBoxes like this one, located outside of the spoilers of this tutorial one after another without altering the sequence!Of course it is necessary to change the specific file names and passwords for you indiviual site, but that's all. promise!
On the console you wont be able to copy/paste with the keyboard ctrl-C/ctrl-V technique, you'll have to use the mouse "right click, chose option" technique.
This tutorial was created on a #debian #linux desktop environment.
There shouldn't be differences if you want to do this from a #windows machine.
The method used for communication between your local computer and the VPS server is called #SSH:
Wikipedia - Secure Shell:
"Cryptographic network protocol for secure data communication, remote shell services or command execution and other secure network services between two networked computers."

friendica VPS setup on ubuntu 22.04 LTS
@Friendica Support
Hi,
I'm working on my first #friendica #VPS installation, here you'll find my initial post about general thoughts like what distro to use, size and costs.
I'm using the tutorial "creating a friendica server - ubuntu" by @Hank G ☑️.
As of now I'm doing well in the process and want to start this post to document differences and questions while installing the server.
This server is going to host an already existing friendica node I have to move from another hosting provider. That means that for example the DB doesn't have to be created from scratch but moved and other smaller details.
I will try to address the different steps of installation in answers to this post and appreciate help, ideas and observations.
I'm doing this from a #linux desktop environment from the console but there shouldn't be differences if you want to do this from a #windows machine.

Umzug meiner Friendica-Instanz
Ihr habt vielleicht gemerkt, dass ich seit gestern um die Mittagszeit nicht aktiv war.
Grund ist, dass ich mir einen neuen #vServer #VPS hochgezogen und meine #Friendica #Instanz dorthin migriert habe.
Neben dem Aufwand, den man mit der kompletten #Neuinstallation und #Einrichtung eines Servers from Scratch hat (#SSH mit #Zertifikat, #PHP, #MySQL, #Apache, #LetsEncrypt / #Certbot, #Fail2Ban, #Firewall / #UFW, ...) , kam dann das Backupen von Friendica samt #Datenbank und das Neueinrichten auf dem neuen Server hinzu.
Dabei diverse kleinere Unwegsamkeiten wie dass sich das Datenverzeichnis geändert hat (anderer Apache-Hauptordner) und damit eine weiße Seite beim Aufrufen der Administration --> Speicher kam.
(BTW: Das habe ich durch einen temporären symbolischen Link gelöst).
Und schwups, ist ein guter halber Tag weg 🙈
Übrigens waren nach dem Umzug auf den neuen Server wieder diverse Emoticons aus Profilnamen weg (also lauter ?????).
Durch "Kontaktdaten neu laden" wurden und werden sie wieder korrekt dargestellt.
Dieses Problem verstehe ich noch immer nicht 🤔🤷♂️
Was bei den nun ersten Nutzungstests deutlicih besser respektive bislang verschwunden ist, ist das Problem fehlender Profilbilder oder ganzer Fehldarstellung der Seite beim Laden.
Hier war wahrscheinlich mein Webspace, auf dem Friendica bis gestern lief, doch einfach nicht leistungsfähig genug: 1024 MB RAM und 16 Kunden pro CPU-Kern für Mail, 2x #Joomla,1x große #Nextcloud und dann noch Friendica.
Der vServer hat nun 8 Kerne und 12 GB RAM und dümpelt (mit bislang nur Friendica darauf installiert) bei einer Load von < 1.

what VPS offer fits best for a small friendica instance?
@Friendica Support
@Friendica Admins
@Friendica Developers
Hi there,
in the end I want to try to setup my first own hosted friendica VPS on a small setup:
1gig RAM/1 Core/25gig
The idea is kinda single user instance with a few forum pages.
The hosting provider has the following options:
- debian bullsey - vpn server
- debian bookworm - wireguard server
- debian bookworm - bookworm 2023-07-03
- debian bookworm - bookworm 2023-07-03 LEMP (nginx+php8.2+mariaDB10.5)
- debian bookworm - nextcloud
- ubuntu 22.04.01LTS
- CENTOS8.1 - 2020-05-03
- cleanVPS to upload own ISO
I'm used to debian/devuan on PC, so am obviously inclined to go for debian but have no idea what version would be the best choice.
In the first place the debian LEMP option looks like the way to go.
Latest experience with a new friendica installation seemed to be in need of PHP8.1 instead of PHP8.2.
Is it difficult to downgrade that?
Also, I'm kinda worried about security in general, even tho the data exposed will only be my own, so there is no responsibility with others.
Are there more security risks than on a shared hosting with let's say a standard phpBB forum page?
The idea would be to point the IP from my existing hosting provider to the VPS.
- Do we have some general "how to setup" for a VPS setting from scratch?
- Anyone interested in creating such a "how to" in a conversation with me here to have a refence or base to sum that up for the frindica wiki?
- Could it even be of interest to create a "friendica VPS-ISO installation" with the help of git.friendi.ca for example?
