An Online Infrastructure with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS LAMP demonstrates the detailed development and testing of a server configuration for the Online Service and the Online Client App described in the companion books of the series. It can also be used for Symfony, WordPress, MediaWiki, Drupal, Git, Jira or Icinga deployment. The Online Infrastructure runs on private server farms or cloud-hosted virtual machines at scales ranging from simple local sites to large-scale world-wide applications.

In 2020, the Linux market is more fragmented than the unix market ever was, with an uncountable number of different distributions “distros”. Most are related to one of the major branches Debian, RedHat and Slackware. Ubuntu is a major free sub-branch of Debian maintained by Canonical Ltd, which also provides commercial support services for it. Although the statistics are unreliable, Debian is reportedly used in two-thirds of all web server installations and has 40 million users with Ubuntu accounting for half of those.

One of our reasons for using Ubuntu is its support for a server version that does not require a GUI for installation and administration (like the original unix ). This is very useful in installing rack-hosted and cloud servers. Another reason is the very professional but free update and version management by Canonical. Even-numbered production versions are “Long Term Support” (LTS) versions with a predictable update time line. This book is based on the most recent version, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (released in the 4th month of 2020) which offers significant improvements over the previous LTS versions 16.04 and 18.04 and which will be supported until April 2025.
