Ve always had the passion to know techy techy things. I have a good background. Now my problem is I know some theory in networking, worked with local servers, but have had very few opportunities on online servers. Nani apa anaeza guswa na roho to help a bro out. If u work around hosting servers, u show me arnd, i get hands on a little bit…wasee wa matusi mnaeza kaa kando leo tafsali

Local servers/Online servers? What’s the difference?

3

i think he means cloud services

4

Local servers the likes of wamps, xamps. Localhost. Online like web hosting servers n stuff

5

Ve heard some guys complain after working on projects kwa localhost, wakienda kwa live servers challenges arise

There is a reason we have YouTube. Any self taught coder has been there to learn the ropes. Try that and see if you can answer some of the questions you have. 127.0.0.1 is not that different from the hosting servers.

Thats why i said i know some theory. Kuna vitu its gud to get handson ata kama ni once. Like saizi am intrested in knowing hw to use pesaPi API, naeza fanya io kwa local server. Its kenyan so not many vids exist

8

I am not sure but it would be better to run it on a live server.

Unaeza lookup digital ocean na google cloud. Kuna free trials, jaribu kuhost kitu

Very simple.

Checkout something called VirtualBox. Now spin up a virtual machine on your local machine and the exact same way you would deploy to and configure that machine is how you would interact with a VM on the cloud.

With time, you can practise HA by spinning up many VMs locally and trying to distribute services (database, app servers, cache store etc)between them when you get on a slightly more advanced level

Also check out vagrant and docker along the way. Best of luck
