Sorry need help

[nikmel420]

Do I still need pay buy a web hosting site. Or did I misunderstand and can do yourself. Anyway I just want a pi to leave costintaly on to act as a server. I'm really confused by this. I can't find a specific three to set a pi as a server. C2 cloud on pi for dummy's type thing

You need a server (pi would work just fine) to host the cloud platform.  Then you need either a dedicated IP or a service like No-IP or DynDNS to resolve your address.  This is all that is required to make C2 work.  

There are additional setup steps required like loading the config file on the device.  I am actually working on a write up to do this with a desktop running linux and a raspberry pi setup.  I can confirm that Debian machine with C2 loaded using No-IP service does work.

I am currently in the position i can get a 'free' Aws micro machine set up, would that suffice ? 

If so, how to configure ? 

 

Sorry, 42% noob on this part

You will need to have it configured with a Windows, Mac, or Linux OS to then run the executable file for Cloud C2.  I would recommend Linux if you are starting out with a fresh system as it will require the least hardware overhead.  

I have not set one up on an AWS machine so as for details on doing so I'm not sure but if I remember correctly they support Debian so I would suggest looking into that route for setup.

You can also use services like Linode or Digital Ocean to spin up VM's. They are very cheap (around $5 USD / month). If you spin up an Ubuntu server you can use my guide here.

To run the server on your PC, you need knowledge and experience. You will need special programs and settings to ensure stable server operation:
- configure Apache + PHP + MySQL;
- distribution of Core ISOs;
- setting the IP address.
To monitor the server and collect statistics, use this instruction host-tracker.com/Blog/server_m If there are any other questions, then ask them, I will help you.

A little bit, some stuff is needed.
