Publish your website from 0 in 20 minutes on VPS Oracle Systems

Systems

Help?

In this tutorial we are going to see how to publish a web page (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) on a VPS server and using the System Ubuntu Server operating, from the Oracle platform (OCI Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) in just 20 minutes. From the acquisition of the VPS server in OCI to the publication of the web page on the server. It is implicit that you already have your website. Well, in the tutorial we created a simple one.

What software do we need to carry out this tutorial?

Since we are going to use Ubuntu Server (Linux System) we will need these programs compatible with Windows.

Putty Access to the server and creation of the private key.
FileZilla Publish files to the server.
Admin access to the CloudFlare Domain. We will need to create new subdomains and point them to the IPs of the instances.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure account.

Steps to follow

OCI VPS Server (Instance)

Acquisition of VPS Server (Instance) in Oracle (OCI Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)
We will acquire a VPS server (Instance) and configure the input ports 80/443 (Http/Https) We will configure Putty a unique key for access to the server. This way it will be totally safe.

Server Access

Server access
Using the program Putty we will access the server. Once inside we update it and We removed the IPTables which we all know don't play well on the Oracle platform.

Apache

Apache Web Server
We install and configure the Apache web server.

CloudFlare

We point the IP to the domain at CloudFlare
Here we must point the IP to the domain "java-programming.juanantonioripoll.es" on the platform CloudFlare

Let's Encrypt

Let's Encrypt Digital Security Certificate
We install, configure and obtain the Let's Encrypt certificate for the domain "java-programming.juanantonioripoll.es"

PHP 8.2

Installation and configuration of PHP 8.2
We install the version of PHP 8.2

Web Page Publication

Publishing the web page on the server
Using the program FileZilla we are going to publish our web page on the server. First we will grant permissions to the user on the server. We test the website.

Commands

Follow the steps from left to right, correlative and don't get lost. In just 20 minutes, you have a web page published on a VPS server Oracle (OCI Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) on Ubuntu Server. You just have to replace the domain "java-programming.juanantonioripoll.es" with yours.

Update Operating System 1

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Delete IpTables Oracle Cloud 2

sudo systemctl enable ufw
