Hello everyone.
I was wondering how people have their development servers set up. This is mainly regarding servers with a database, for example servers using the ESX or vRP frameworks.
I saw how NoPixel has it set up and was wondering if I could set mine up the same way as they got it.
Basically they use git/github to upload their server files with the database to a github link, where others can download the server and then work on it, reuploading certain parts back up when they have developed what they need. This means they can run the whole server without having to do much on their own localhost machine.
I’ve tried setting it up and I don’t know what to do.
Does anyone have a similar setup of their development server, or how do you have it set up?
Thanks.
I have a dedicated box for my test server which has a terminal server setup on one of the vm’s. People that contribute I have them setup with their own account on the terminal server with a shared folder between users that they can share data between each other.
I have the main test server that I maintain on a different vm on that dedicated box which I will just access the necessary updates from the contributors and move it to the main test server. Once tested there I will then sftp the whole server to the live dedicated server at the datacenter. Each VM I have being backed up by Veeam. And also the main test server going to a private git for versioning reasons.
Alright. How did you set up the git? I’ve only got a cheap VPS.
Followed the directions on gitlab. 
Thanks. I’mma see how others do it as well and then come to a conclusion.
“Must be a good server if you don’t know how to “do” that.”!
