Linux Apache MySQL PHP stack (LAMP)

Using the popular and powerful open source tools Linux, Apache, MySQL (MariaDB) and PHP, you can provision a complete production suite.

Popular tools such as WordPress or frameworks like CakePHP and Laravel run on LAMP installations.

To setup the service, first follow the general instructions on our Service catalog page.

  • Give your service a name and optionally a description.

  • Under SSH Admin IP, add your public IP (this will allow your workstation through the firewall) in CIDR notation.

    • If you need to change this later, this sets up a security group on the instance.

    • You can change or update the security group as you see fit but if you want to login over the floating IP that will be setup, you will need to input your IP here.

  • Select which availability zone you want to provision in. We recommend the europe-se-1a availability zone.

  • If you want backup, check the Backup checkbox and select an amount of days you want your history stored.

  • Select your instance flavor. We recommend sticking with the default.

  • Select your SSH-key.

  • Under local_net select the network on which you want to run the service.

  • If you want your service publicly available on the internet, you can assign a floating IP (you can assign one later if you prefer) by checking the Public access checkbox.

    • If you don’t use a floating IP, you can only access it locally on your network or over some kind of ingress solution such as a VPN.

  • Under Volume size, select the size (in GB) of the volume of the server. Take into consideration that you will store files and a database on the server. We recommend at least 100 GB.

  • Press Create. You will get further details on how to connect to the service.
