Is there any place like Dev rant but for networks ? And anyone know how to make the smallest lamp stack. Any help is appreciated. :)

Well I mean for the Linux part of LAMP you could take a look at Alpine Linux

It's what I use for Docker containers

Tends to end up less than 10MB IIRC

you can rant about networking on here too iirc @dfox

regarding lamp stack, you could have googled it: https://digitalocean.com/community/...

nevermind, might have misunderstood the "smallest" part, though if you use some small debian and install everything on top, it should be literally the same, whats the purpose of the small image, maybe then we could tell more?

@JoshBent Well small installs are good for things like containers, since it means that the only stuff you have installed is the stuff you need

Smaller container = smaller built image = faster deployment = happy me :)

@Ezard nothing wrong with that, but maybe he is just searching for a minimal first (don't remember the more common name for it right now) approach for a server, not a deployable container, but containers are anyway a really interesting thing for both. 😊

@JoshBent I was particular interested in making the smallest ova 😅, so that they can be distributed easily before presentations and hands-on sessions.
Also to actually know what all stuff I'm actually using

As others have said Alpine is top notch

As I understood, LAMP = Linux Apache MySQL and PHP/Python.

There are various minimal Linux distro and sever choices. Most server are actually already minimal in a sense.

I don't know how you can make the AMP part to be minimal except installing them independently without extra stuffs.

🤔

@LeFlawk @Ezard you made me interested in looking into docker again, thanks!
