Hey Sup Forums, I'm quite not sure what to do. I want to self-host a simple website with like 2-3 pages at max. It's more like for testing purposes and what not for a project. I'm not asking how to do that... I just need a guidance.
I'm in the pickle that I want to host that website on a broken laptop. The screen is almost broken so I uses a remote viewer to get access to it.
Real question here is - what kind of Distros would you uses for this kind of project? It already has W8.1/Debian Stretch/Clover.
TL;DR : I want the best OS for self-hosting a simple website
for something that simple it doesn't matter, you could have done it on the OS you have instead of making this thread
Nathan Sanders
Yeeeeeah, I could have but I wanted to clean that laptop and start fresh and use it only for that specific thing.
If that can help to broaden the project - I'm using a Aspire One from Acer which has a Atom inside lmao, 1GB of RAM and a whooping 250 HDD.
It's mostly for fun that shit plus I wanted to extend the uses of my domain as it only works for streaming services on my server.

Anyone else find this image a bit off? Like proportion of every single object in this image seems incorrect

why using that laptop lol you could do that inside a VM at worst
Jaxson Sullivan
Because I don't like throwing "useable" objects? That'd be a shame, it can still do stuff.
Andrew Williams
You could try a smaller deb or clover lol I don't know if that's actually a good idea with clover you could always try have fun with it
Brandon Nelson
Use a stable linux distro like Debian. Fuck you could do it in anything but if you're determined to start fresh go Debian
Jaxon Myers
unironically OpenBSD. It already comes with everything you need to host a secure site straight out of the box. Including it's own httpd server, load balancer, and mail server, and they're all pretty minimal and easy to configure.
Ian Reed
Heeeh. That kind of sound interesting. I'm not really familiar with OpenBSD but I could give it a shot I'm not retarded.
Thanks for the tip! I'll fiddle a little bit with that!
Jason Collins
check out learnbchs.org/ it's a meme site, but it has decent info on setting up an OpenBSD server
Robert Lee
Distro doesn't matter. Want something stable? Debian Stretch. Has everything you need readily available in the repos. Want something waffer thin? SystemD not your thing? Consider Alpine or Void. I've used both with Nginx, Apache and Lighttpd. You should rephrase your question. What web server software is best for hosting a simple website?
Ethan Sullivan
The fuck? You can even do it on Android. It's not about what OS you use, its how you allocate resources.
Jacob Anderson
I see what you mean by meme but that does the job!
I was thinking Deb/Void or even Xubuntu because that shit needs something light
I should have rephrase it in another level entirely. I need something light, that won't overload and be "stable" for a simple website.
Basically my project is to uses that piece of shit that I already uses for my bots but I wanted to do a website to interact with them and give friends access to them as well.
That was my main goal, just a damn plain website that has some interactions with them.
I already have my plans and all, I just want to uses that shit machine without it crashing on me lmao as I said it has a 1GB of RAM and a Atom inside.
That's why I was seeking the thinnest shit. My main post is entirely misleading.
duh

I didn't notice at first glance, but now that you point it out, I see what you mean. I suspect it was taken with a strange focal length which is messing with our perspective slightly.

Lets go even deeper What are the absolute minimal specs for a HTML-only website?

Well that was short lived.

just get a vps, even gcp/aws free tier will do what you need

Your task is actually going to be remarkably easy. Run a headless install of ubuntu server, then you can manage it over SSH. Easy peasy.
Jackson Richardson
DynDNS Ubuntu or CentOS (Simple distros with plenty of guides)
If you are looking for a simple GUI admin panel check ISPconfig (There is a simple guide on how to install it on Debian)
Kayden Hernandez
Thanks for the advice guys, I'll see what I can do with the lil puppy.
Worst case scenario I'll uses a laying PC tower and let my other stuff as it is.

if you are not satisfied go back to step one and install gentoo.
