Hi folks,
How are you doing?I set up my GNU/ Linux OS from scratch and made it become a LAMP server because I need a server for two things:

FIRST: A server that is running front and back end for a new website that I am developing soon.

SECOND: A server to gather and storage movement data that is received from countless mobile smart devices.

Now, I thought a LAMP server might be a good start. But, how shall I go on? I have the gut feeling, there are countless ways to go on. I could try numerous frameworks for front and/or back end web development. I could also code my front end from scratch using HTML, CSS, JavaScript aso. I could even use different server for front and back end. What won't you suggest?

How would you design the interaction between mobile and server when you need to send movement data from mobile to store and process it on a server? Any hints?

As I am a embedded software engineer, I am right now quite overwhelmed of the possibilities and find it hard to choose a direction. Any clues on that topic?

Cheers!

Install Ubuntu Server O.S in your machine and set-up amp good to go: The most popular server Linux in the cloud and data centre, you can rely on Ubuntu Server and its five years of guaranteed free upgrades. :-D

well we don't know what you plan to do. for this specific task HTML, Apache and other stuff is not actually necessary on server. maybe DB is enough.

also make sure you familiarise yourself with various privacy laws (e.g. GDPR) before going to design stage.
