| [16:17:02] | <monkeyflowerfarm> | Good news is I got it working on dedicated server. I'd say shared host installs are not likely to work. I tried on Bluehost but their mysql version is not up to the version required for install. Thanks again for all the help I feel bad for wasting anyone's time w all this shared host install stuff. |
| [16:17:33] | <mstenta[m]> | Oh glad you got it working monkeyflowerfarm! No worries at all re: questions! |
| [16:18:16] | <monkeyflowerfarm> | I was planning on leaving the shared host environment anyway :) |
| [16:18:38] | <monkeyflowerfarm> | Looks good btw |
| [16:19:11] | <mstenta[m]> | Great! |
| [16:19:23] | <mstenta[m]> | Did you end up using the tarball? Or did you go the Docker route? |
| [16:20:13] | <monkeyflowerfarm> | tarball |
| [16:20:28] | <monkeyflowerfarm> | new to docker still |
| [16:20:40] | <mstenta[m]> | cool! |
| [16:20:53] | <mstenta[m]> | yea its a bit of a leap :-) |
| [16:20:54] | <monkeyflowerfarm> | any preference? |
| [16:21:20] | <mstenta[m]> | i prefer Docker, but it definitely takes some practice |
| [16:21:45] | <monkeyflowerfarm> | good to know i will check it out more |
| [16:22:16] | <mstenta[m]> | with farmOS it basically helps to encapsulate all the server-level dependencies |
| [16:22:51] | <mstenta[m]> | so you have a "www" container (Apache + farmOS codebase) and a "db" container (MySQL/PostgreSQL/etc) |
| [16:23:22] | <mstenta[m]> | the farmOS container has the exact version of PHP it needs, for instance |
| [16:23:36] | <mstenta[m]> | which might be different from the default version on the host OS |
| [16:26:10] | <monkeyflowerfarm> | Gotcha |
