3. Server
✦I’ve setup a $5 1gb RAM Centos server on Linode
which is a pretty decent supplier
✦I used MariaDB instead of MySQL since that’s the
default for Centos
✦Linux servers are managed remotely via SSH, if you
use Windows you can use an SSH/SCP client,
since I use a Mac I just used the command line

7. ssh root@your.ip.address.here
Commands
✦ Login to my server, don’t forget to boot the server
first and set the root password
✦ Notice that once you have a user on the server
it’s “healthier” to login as a user and not as root

won’t work as root for the actual process

"Cookie: gpw_e24=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com%2F;

download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u60-b27/jdk-8u60-
linux-x64.rpm"
Commands
✦Oracle makes downloading the JDK rough, you
need to check a box in the website which you
can’t do from a headless box
✦Alternative is to download to desktop and SCP it
back
