friendica VPS setup on ubuntu 22.04 LTS
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.

what VPS offer fits best for a small friendica instance?

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?

Also ist der deutsche #Wikipedia-Artikel zum #Fediverse möglicherweise schon zu technisch?

P.S.: Habe zu meinem "klassischen" #Mastodon-Account gewechselt. Das Zusammenspiel zwischen #Mammuthus und #Friendica bietet noch zu viel Raum für Optimierung... :-|
