I want to setup a server as a backend for my android/web app with mongodb(nosql) (Just like Firebase) on my own laptop/desktop with all the functionality and API.
I read something about creating a server with apache but not sure what to do.
And please tell if there is anything to do of parse server.
Can anyone suggest a video or give great description for this.
Parse Server needs NodeJS not Apache.
Make sure you have installed NodeJs and git to your computer first.

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've been tasked with setting up some VMs. I've been given some admin details but no further guidance. The server is a fresh install.
My problem is that I'm on Linux/OSX and don't want to run Windows aside from setting up after which I hope to be able to manage things through the web client.
I think there is an ESXi installation. This would be Version 6. How do I set up the web client?
I've installed vSphere Client on a local Windows VM.. not sure what to do with it though.
The documentation is pretty awful and there hasn't been much useful info on the net. I'm really stuck as I didn't set these up and haven't used servers like this before, so I have no context or understanding of the VMWare ecosystem beyond using a virtual machine locally! (even then I've preferred Virtualbox)
Any advice would be amazing
p.s accessing https://[ipaddress]/vsphere-client does not work. Produces a blank browser page... with no html served as an error
If you have the name of the server on which the VMs are stored, type this into the URL of a web browser then it gives you management options or alternatively use this login screen:
I had a problem with my WAMP server not being online so after some hours changing values on Httpd.conf i was finally able to make it go online after all, with all of it's services too. But when i try to access localhost it only says "It's working!" and i can't access the testlink webpage. I had already done about 350 test cases manually into testlink so I REALLY want to get that back. I made a backup before the server went down of the entire WAMP directory but i have no idea where the test cases are located. They are not saved as they were named in TestLink. Anyone can show me the way?
thanks!
If when you run localhost and it say "It's working!" then you have another version of Apache installed on this machine, and that is the one that is running and NOT the WAMPServer version of Apache.
As you are obviously learning, stick to one Apache per machine. So uninstall the other Apache completely. It would also be a good idea to look for another MYSQL as well. They travel in groups normally.

I found this here http://github.com/progrium/localtunnel , and it's exactly what I need, but I am working on Windows and localtunnel is Unix...
Some backgorund: I am currently developing a Facebook app and the Single-Sign-On won't work on my local Tomcat.
PageKite (disclaimer: I made this!) solves the same problems as localtunnel, but it is completely self-contained (written in Python, does not rely on ssh) which makes it very easy to install on Windows. Admittedly, you still have to deal with the command-line or at least edit the config file by hand, but a more user-friendly Windows GUI is in the works.
PageKite is free software (both the client and server) for those who want to DIY, but it's also backed by a start-up which provides all the service you need to get up and running in minutes.
A Windows client:
localtunnel for windows
Expose instantly your local webserver to the internet! See main project for more info...
UI Features
Custom service host setting
Win7 Jumplists for quick tunneling
Public key autogeneration
Specify a different host address than 127.0.0.1...
Just install ruby, then run the same commands. I just did that and works on Win7 x64.
Create an ssh key (make sure you don't already have one and will overwrite, for GitHub, etc).
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email#youremail.com"
Then upload your key to localtunnel (I had to enter my passkey setup in step above)
localtunnel -k c:/Users//.ssh/id_rsa.pub [server port]
I wrote up a description of how to get localtunnel up and running on windows via CygWin.

and here's the content in case that disappears too:
We recently integrated with the awesome Twilio service for a small project we developed. Like many of today’s APIs, Twilio offers a number of webhooks that alert you to changes on the Twilio side. This simple but great concept really opens up a lot of possibilities for API users everywhere, and I’m glad to see it spreading. Unfortunately, webhooks by their very nature require that you have a publicly accessible URI for the service to callback to, which makes developing your webhook handler a little bit difficult when you’re working locally. Enter localtunnel, a nifty little tool that makes localhost visible to the rest of the world and lets you build and debug your webhooks on your development environment without having to worry about publishing your changes every few minutes to a public site.
Unfortunately, if you’re developing on Windows, localtunnel won’t work quite as easily out of the box as it would for Mac and *nix users.
Here at WAM, we mainly develop on Microsoft’s .NET platform, which acted as a barrier to our ability to use localtunnel. Since the tool was attractive enough to warrant spending a little time setting it up on my Windows environment, however, I dug in my heels and figured out the general steps needed to get it working.
Rather than go through the number of misguided steps I followed due to my own unfamiliarity with the tools localhost relies on, I’ll cut to the chase and explain what I eventually set up to get everything working together.
First, install Cygwin. During installation, make sure you opt to install dev tools – you’ll definitely need at least Make, gcc, SSH and Ruby.
Download and unzip RubyGems into a folder that you can access under Cygwin.
Install RubyGems by changing to that temporary directory on your Cygwin bash prompt and running:
ruby setup.rb
Install localtunnel by running:
gem install localtunnel
Generate a public/private key by running.
ssh-keygen
When it prompts you for a file to save, enter nothing and press enter. It will put the file into your home folder. ‘~/.ssh’ and the path to the file is ‘~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub’ by default.
Make note of where your public key is saved.
Run localtunnel for the first time by running
localtunnel -k {Path_To_Your_Public_Key} {PORT_NUMBER}
For example
localtunnel -k ~/..sh/id_rsa.pub 8080
This will upload your public key to localtunnel and respond with something like
This localtunnel service is brought to you by Twilio.
Port 8080 is now publicly accessible from
http://3ivy.localtunnel.com ...
From then on, you can just run
localtunnel 8080
And get a temporary public URL for your local app.
One thing to note is that I had to use a port like 8080 to get it to work – something like 49581 wasn’t working and rather than fiddle with it anymore, I just set up vs.net to always build my local project to port 8080.
As always, your mileage may vary and this comes with the standard warning that this worked for me, but may not for you.
Good luck!
Somebody is working on a Java version of the localtunnel client, so stay tuned! Otherwise, no, I don't think other than setting up your own SSH tunnel there is a Windows alternative.
