Woocommerce build, minimum requirements? switching from Vultr reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- classified_x · 2023-10-03 22:08 Looking to replace some Vultr servers with a self hosted option using CentOS. ​ I basically know nothing in-depth on Linux or servers, but know a fair share about computers and cloud hosting. What computer I need to start? consumer graded would be better than Xeon. Would I need to sell Virtual Machines for Nginx and such? ​ Although WP, my websites are pretty heavy overall, ideally 4gb memory each, have 4 websites to run. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KrazyKirby99999 · 2023-10-03 23:04 You'll probably want to deploy nginx on a cheap vps. This vps should be connected to your baremetal devices via a VPN such as Wireguard. CentOS Stream is an excellent option for a server OS. Other good options are Debian and Ubuntu. Considering that you'll need 4x4gb of ram minimum, you'll probably want a device with 32gb of ram, or perhaps an 8gb device + a 16gb device. Virtual machines aren't necessary, but you'll probably want to use docker and docker compose to deploy your sites. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- classified_x · 2023-10-04 02:18 the vps can be on the same computer/linux installation of main computer? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KrazyKirby99999 · 2023-10-04 02:20 The vps is the server to you rent from Vultr or another provider. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- classified_x · 2023-10-04 02:32 I could use a computer from work, not my personal. Although there's sensitive data in it as well. And could go for static IP. the whole idea is not to give money to Vultr or other web hosting providers by self hosting.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KrazyKirby99999 · 2023-10-04 02:41 This device would be the entrypoint to your services. If you only need to access this from your work, perhaps it could be at your work. If it needs to be publicly accessible, a $5 vps on Vultr or Linode could be enough. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- classified_x · 2023-10-04 13:14 sounds doable, better than what I spend currently, about $70 monthly.. for 2 vps.. any guides on how I do this setup you mention? I have specific doubts about how to link the VPS to my local server. ​ it's a public website, e-commerce, not intranet ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KrazyKirby99999 · 2023-10-04 15:26 I don't recommend Arch for your case, but the Arch Linux docs has a great guide for Wireguard: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/WireGuard You'd want to connect the VPS and local server(s) as peers on your Wireguard VPN, then you can use the Wireguard IPs to refer to your local servers from the VPS.
