Other Hosting Options?#4796

Hi All,

does anyone else have experience with different hosting setups? i.e. AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform or some other Cloud hosting provider/setup?

Would be interested to find out as I have managed to get OpenCATS working fully on Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine on my laptop, and would like to port this to some sort of Cloud provider.

Thanks,

Mak

it'll quite happily run in docker?

Hi RussH,

have no clue about docker, so will need to check if I can get it working....

For the record, Docker works just fine.

Yes, OpenCATS runs fine on cloud VMs. Easiest path is a small Ubuntu server on Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform, then install the same stack you used locally and migrate the database and files.

If you want simpler deployment and updates, learning Docker is worth it. It makes moving between laptop and cloud much cleaner and avoids dependency issues.
