trying to setup planka on vps

[joedonuts542]

so im trying to install planka (based off this: #184) and i ran "sudo -u www-data npm install". afterwards the installation worked for like half of it and midway it stopped.

some background info; I have never ever done anything related to this. so I tried to get planka running on a vps from amazon (aws). it has 1 gb ram, maybe bc of that? any suggestions?

Hi, the vps is probably not powerful enough to compile the code

Please use our docs and try the docker/automated installation

how would i even get started tho, everything seems pretty much complicated. and there arent really basic "tutorials" on it.

[daniel-hiller]

Simply use the automated installation
It's one single command

You keep showing me a guide and video, but where do I get a free server? I don't understand anything the installer adds, I'm sorry if I sound rude. However, the guide is not "beginner" friendly.

[joedonuts542]

Once again, I have never done anything like this. I don't go into the field of servers/vps/ssl as they are confusing to me.

If the installer is still too complicated, I can't help you

It couldn't be easier than the installer, which not only installs planka, but also takes care of the security of the server

There are no free servers, only cheap ones
