WEBVTT 00:04.320 --> 00:09.690 Before we start building and configuring our engineers server Let's very quickly see what these lessons 00:09.690 --> 00:12.650 were look like and how I'll be demonstrating. 00:12.660 --> 00:15.810 First off we're going to need a suitable host machine. 00:15.810 --> 00:17.270 We don't need anything fancy. 00:17.280 --> 00:23.780 And for demonstration purposes I'll be using the smallest server or droplet available on digital ocean 00:24.270 --> 00:29.970 digital ocean just being a well-established and cost effective provider of virtual machines. 00:30.300 --> 00:35.340 That also makes it easy to rebuild a machine via the user interface which I'll need to do at least once 00:35.340 --> 00:36.910 during this course. 00:36.930 --> 00:42.960 Feel free though to use any other shootable Linux based machine I've already created my server which 00:43.020 --> 00:48.540 as you can see is a single core server with 1 gig of memory which will be plenty for running a modest 00:48.570 --> 00:50.460 engine ex web server. 00:50.520 --> 00:55.830 Linux is of course going to be the go to operating system and whilst I've opted for the very latest 00:55.830 --> 01:03.120 version of a boon to version 17 this course will also apply to most other popular Linux distributions. 01:03.150 --> 01:07.530 Following along on a one to will simplify at very least your installation steps. 01:07.530 --> 01:10.440 But that should be the only noticeable difference. 01:10.590 --> 01:16.440 I have opted for a boon too as it's the most popular distribution for any generics with arguably the 01:16.440 --> 01:19.690 most available support and online resources. 01:19.860 --> 01:25.620 But I'll also be covering the latest version of St arse in the installation section as it's a very close 01:25.620 --> 01:27.150 favourite to urban too. 01:27.590 --> 01:29.040 OK with my server ready. 01:29.040 --> 01:31.530 I'll connect to it over SS H. 01:31.710 --> 01:33.490 Copy this IP address. 01:35.460 --> 01:37.330 SS H route. 01:37.420 --> 01:41.210 At least that I be continue connecting. 01:41.250 --> 01:43.290 Yes and there we are. 01:43.530 --> 01:46.990 This is going to be where 90 percent of this course will take place. 01:47.160 --> 01:53.520 For the sake of simplicity I'll be working as root during this course which whilst boulding and configuring 01:53.520 --> 01:59.280 our engine servers fine and even helpful should not be the case once you're all set up and ready to 01:59.280 --> 02:01.150 bring your server to production. 02:01.170 --> 02:03.290 Just something to keep in mind. 02:03.360 --> 02:09.780 Then once we start editing the engine configuration files I'll be using a basic text editor to remotely 02:09.780 --> 02:12.090 edit the files over S S H. 02:12.090 --> 02:14.700 Again feel free to edit your configuration files. 02:14.700 --> 02:16.250 Which ever way you prefer. 02:16.460 --> 02:20.100 I've linked to a few good ESIs edge clients in the list and resources. 02:20.100 --> 02:24.590 Should you prefer to also edit your files locally instead of directly on the server. 02:25.310 --> 02:30.710 Also don't forget to check the lesson resources throughout the course where I'll be linking configuration 02:30.710 --> 02:32.890 files documentation etc.. 02:33.900 --> 02:39.030 Now that we in the terminal and connect it to our server we can finally install engine X which will 02:39.030 --> 02:42.480 see how to do via a package manager in the next lesson.
