00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:09,690
Before we start building and configuring our engineers server Let's very quickly see what these lessons

2
00:00:09,690 --> 00:00:12,650
were look like and how I'll be demonstrating.

3
00:00:12,660 --> 00:00:15,810
First off we're going to need a suitable host machine.

4
00:00:15,810 --> 00:00:17,270
We don't need anything fancy.

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:23,780
And for demonstration purposes I'll be using the smallest server or droplet available on digital ocean

6
00:00:24,270 --> 00:00:29,970
digital ocean just being a well-established and cost effective provider of virtual machines.

7
00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:35,340
That also makes it easy to rebuild a machine via the user interface which I'll need to do at least once

8
00:00:35,340 --> 00:00:36,910
during this course.

9
00:00:36,930 --> 00:00:42,960
Feel free though to use any other shootable Linux based machine I've already created my server which

10
00:00:43,020 --> 00:00:48,540
as you can see is a single core server with 1 gig of memory which will be plenty for running a modest

11
00:00:48,570 --> 00:00:50,460
engine ex web server.

12
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:55,830
Linux is of course going to be the go to operating system and whilst I've opted for the very latest

13
00:00:55,830 --> 00:01:03,120
version of a boon to version 17 this course will also apply to most other popular Linux distributions.

14
00:01:03,150 --> 00:01:07,530
Following along on a one to will simplify at very least your installation steps.

15
00:01:07,530 --> 00:01:10,440
But that should be the only noticeable difference.

16
00:01:10,590 --> 00:01:16,440
I have opted for a boon too as it's the most popular distribution for any generics with arguably the

17
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,690
most available support and online resources.

18
00:01:19,860 --> 00:01:25,620
But I'll also be covering the latest version of St arse in the installation section as it's a very close

19
00:01:25,620 --> 00:01:27,150
favourite to urban too.

20
00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:29,040
OK with my server ready.

21
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,530
I'll connect to it over SS H.

22
00:01:31,710 --> 00:01:33,490
Copy this IP address.

23
00:01:35,460 --> 00:01:37,330
SS H route.

24
00:01:37,420 --> 00:01:41,210
At least that I be continue connecting.

25
00:01:41,250 --> 00:01:43,290
Yes and there we are.

26
00:01:43,530 --> 00:01:46,990
This is going to be where 90 percent of this course will take place.

27
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:53,520
For the sake of simplicity I'll be working as root during this course which whilst boulding and configuring

28
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:59,280
our engine servers fine and even helpful should not be the case once you're all set up and ready to

29
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,150
bring your server to production.

30
00:02:01,170 --> 00:02:03,290
Just something to keep in mind.

31
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:09,780
Then once we start editing the engine configuration files I'll be using a basic text editor to remotely

32
00:02:09,780 --> 00:02:12,090
edit the files over S S H.

33
00:02:12,090 --> 00:02:14,700
Again feel free to edit your configuration files.

34
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:16,250
Which ever way you prefer.

35
00:02:16,460 --> 00:02:20,100
I've linked to a few good ESIs edge clients in the list and resources.

36
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:24,590
Should you prefer to also edit your files locally instead of directly on the server.

37
00:02:25,310 --> 00:02:30,710
Also don't forget to check the lesson resources throughout the course where I'll be linking configuration

38
00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:32,890
files documentation etc..

39
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:39,030
Now that we in the terminal and connect it to our server we can finally install engine X which will

40
00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:42,480
see how to do via a package manager in the next lesson.
