Web server
You should pick OpenSSH Server for secure remote access, DNS Server for domain resolution, LAMP Server for web hosting, PostgreSQL for databases, and Samba File Server for file sharing. This setup allows you to send and receive data over the internet effectively.
Why must you pick one option? Why not try all of them? /A light joke I’d use OpenSSH (you can SSH over the internet) or LAMP with No-ip.org dynamic DNS so it works as a site. Or my third pick would be Samba. I don’t see why you can’t have several at once. Unless you really need just one. DNS and PostgreSQL don’t offer a direct way to connect from outside by default. It’s confusing because these are server features, and a server can have any or none of them. The tools that let you reach the server online include LAMP with dynamic DNS, SSH, and possibly Samba, though I’m not very familiar. Sorry. The question made me puzzled. *Vitalius is confused! *Vitalius hurt himself in the mix-up.* *Crit for 9999! *Vitalius faints.*
I'm trying to understand this server stuff for the very first time, and my brain is really scrambling to keep up.
Alright, here’s a simpler version of what you said.
You’re looking at three main setups:
- **LAMP** is Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP – great for hosting a website with a user-friendly interface.
- **OpenSSH** lets you connect via command line (CLI) without a graphical interface.
- **Samba** could mean a file server that shares files over the network; it might require a VPN for internet access, which costs money.
You have to decide based on what’s most convenient for you. If you want ease of use, go with LAMP or OpenSSH. If you need more control and power, Samba with a VPN is an option, though it involves some setup and expense.
Showing my limited understanding once more. Honestly, the GUI seems just as challenging for a regular user as a command-line interface. It appears the developers added all the buttons they wanted, built them, then discarded them without much thought. Still, having a GUI is impressive. Wow. Can you do that? That's impressive. I wasn't aware of that. What do you think would be simpler? Installing LAMP, configuring a web page to reach the directories, then setting up no-ip or another dynamic DNS, or establishing a VPN server and sharing the directories via it—then handling any remaining tasks? It seems roughly comparable.
