Frink lipmon test forum How is that relevant to the current post @lipmon? @MikeJones I have never ran an AWS server, but @Kulga has made a Flarum auto-install script for VPS, you could try that.... https://discuss.flarum.org/d/5158-flarum-management-script
0E800 MikeJones Yep. I used to host Flarum on AWS. I used an install script by @webeindustry https://github.com/webeindustry/flarumvpsinstallscript/blob/patch-1/script
0E800 Keep in mind, if you do not have a FQDN, just use the AWS instance IP address as the domain name. If you reboot your AWS instance , you will need to make changes to nginx to reflect that IP change.
MikeJones 0E800 Thanks going to look into standing up my own AWS server tonight and play around with everything! May pick a cheap domain name too! If I got everything up and running would it be easy to add google adsense add on the right or something similar?
0E800 There's a extension for including adds, I don't use adds so not sure of the specifics . If you have any questions , feel free to ask. I'm no expert but have alot of experience with Google . ?
MikeJones 0E800 There's a extension for including adds, I don't use adds so not sure of the specifics . I will check it out, thanks!
Frink @MikeJones Yup, https://discuss.flarum.org/d/4785-flagrow-ads-bombarding-your-users-with-ads-everywhere-if-you-want
MikeJones To get back on topic: Assuming I can spin up a Apache LAMP instance on AWS and go from there? New to AWS and want to learn it to, so I think I am going to start here: https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/projects/launch-lamp-web-app/
0E800 MikeJones Lemp All I had to do was create a 1gb ubunti instance and run below script. https://github.com/webeindustry/flarumvpsinstallscript/blob/patch-1/script
MikeJones 0E800 so I may hav emessed up. I ran the script and i put seekadventure.net instead of the ip address. I ran the entire script with no problem but now I do not know how to view my forum..... I tried taking the IPV4 Public IP from my AWS console and putting it into chrome but it looks like it times out
MikeJones Alright so I just followed this to change my host name: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/linux-static-hostname/ Its been awhile since I have dove into something like this. Do I then need to go to google domains and change something there too for my domain name to work? I am trying to prep everything before I run the FLARUM install script
0E800 MikeJones That's okay. Try: sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/whateveryoursitenameiscalled Change server_name to your IP CTRL-X , Y to save. sudo systemctl restart nginx If you want, you can hit me on https://gitter.im/0e800
