Hi all,
I created a B4A checklist app that stores data locally on the device, but now I'd like to offer users the option to collaborate on their lists with others, so I'm planning to use cloudKVS on a VPS. (Already have a test app working on a Windows laptop with 2 Android devices connecting over local wifi.)
To get it working on a VPS, however, that's where I'm a novice, so I thought asking y'all some basic questions might save me some hair pulling later.
I don't know Windows servers or Linux servers, but the latter seem cheaper and more common, so will probably go with that.
I plan to just run the vanilla cloudKVS B4J server on SSL. I may also host some web pages on the same server (privacy policies, etc.) using an existing domain I own.
Given this, is there a particular Linux distro I should use? Any pros or cons to any of them? Or which versions of each (e.g. if I went with Ubuntu, just get the latest version?)
Any tips appreciated!
