I apologize for the amateur nature of my question, but I am all rather new to this. So I have created a project within the cloud9 IDE, which is a website that connects to a mySQL database located on the same server. However, I wish to showcase the code that I have used to create the site. I have done a little research into doing this and so far I have found that GitHub Pages can allow you to host webcontent. Thus in theory I can just copy across the files from cloud9 to a GitHub repository. However, my site relies on being able to connect to and query a mySQL database. My question is, can and how would I connect my GitHub repo to such a database?
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated! In addition, please let me know if I am barking up the wrong tree with this...
GitHub Pages are only for static HTML websites. It does not run any server side technology.
You must find web hosting based on the technology you used to create the website.
If you've been working on a server-side technology, then you could be running on localhost.
If thats the case, try tunnelling your localhost, which allows you to share your localhost with others on other networks.
localtunnel, ngrok and forward provide such technologies.

I want to have an website with frontend React and backend Express plus MySql available on a top-level domain address. I would really appreciate your support as I feel a bit lost with all opportunities and no guidance in how to do this. I know how to create a react app and I worked with express, mysql, git / github before. I also had a php website hostet before.
I wrote some code, but before I get too far, I am wondering about ...

Havent been able to find much on this at all, on here or on google. But I currently have my own domain, and i want to host my candy machine on it. how would I go about doing that? I've been trying to look around for config files to change it from spinning up on localhost but i havent been able to find anything.
It's pretty easy, you just need to host your website somewhere, best place would be netlify.com (they are free). Put your files in github and host files on Netlify, then in settings change domain to custom domain! That's it! More details on how to host it - Youtube guide on how to host website on netlify
It's super cool, because you can push to github and it will automatically update the website.
I have been working on a NativeScript project that uses an API. The API project is on my MacBook and haven't deployed to anywhere yet. It's based on Laravel and I use Laravel Valet as development environment.
I can't test the mobile app on iPhone because the app can't connect to local API URL. I know Valet has "share" command, but because the API consumes another API -which has IP restrictions-, it doesn't work for me. Sharing a local domain via Valet's share command is something like a proxy as I understand, so the consumed API doesn't work on that proxy.
I also checked articles about how to share Macbook's network with iPhone, but it only shares the same network. I can't access the local API still.
Is there any other way that can resolve my issue? Maybe a Docker based solution? I am not that good at Docker, but I can give a try if it is possible with it.
https://ngrok.com/ will happily expose your local Laravel Valet server.
Looks like there's a bit of a walk through on that here too https://mannyisles.com/using-laravel-valet-and-ngrok/ which may help?
I want to start developing with a team using a Neo4j DB, a Spring Boot backend and an AngularJS frontend.
For that, I want to have a Maven Repository and a Jenkins.
To enable my team to use this, I want to have some kind of server at home that can provide remote (sequred) access to the Maven Repo, the Jenkins and the Neo4j DB and that can host the AngularJS frontend communicating with the Spring Backend.
I don't really know where to start. After some googling I found a NAS, but I'm not sure if they suit my requirements.
I've found tutorials for configuring a VPN but there may be a simpler way.
What would you recommend?
So, after some more asking around and googling if found 2 possible solutions, that i want to try out in the future:
First of seems to be the NAS (I've only read about Synology), although it not seems to be intended for my requirements. However there are packages available in the DiskStation OS that allow the installation of a Jenkins, a Maven Repo and Docker, allowing to host a Neo4j DB. I was told, I should be cautious, because only the "x86 diskstation supports docker". At this point I'm not too sure what this means, but since I'm posting an answer, I don't want to keep this knowledge for myself.
I didn't really find anything on hosting applications.
Second solution seems to be, to build a homeserver. In my current understanding, it should suffice to have a spare PC at home for that. All the steps involved should be available under here (german).
I didn't find anything about hosting applications here too, but since this is a "real" system, I'm pretty sure it's possible.
I'm going to try the second one out and keep you updated as far as I don't forget it :)
I have a completed meteor project and is currently deployed on the meteor website. I would like to move it to my own website, which is currently hosted by GoDaddy.
How do I install Node and Mongo on my server (linux) and then run my meteor project? I received ssh access to my server, so I assume I can do this, but I'm just not sure how.
So how exactly do I proceed?
Additional Info:
I'm not exactly sure what of linux it is. On GoDaddy, it simply says linux.
When I ssh, it shows me:
-bash-3.2$:
Also, I having my website simply show the myapp.meteor.com webpage would work too. An explanation on how to do this would work.
Discover Meteor has a chapter on deployment which helps to answer this question. For ubuntu-based servers they recommend meteor-up. I haven't used it, but it's probably worth checking out. Previous versions of the book recommended meteoric.
I wrote my own set of bash scripts using a few ideas from meteoric, but I already had a lot of experience doing deployment scripting. Frankly there's nothing quite like figuring it all out yourself, but doing sysadmin tasks doesn't appeal to everyone and it can be hard to pick up in a hurry.
