Hm, would be interesting if the need for programming weren't replaced by sysadmun skills.
Nowadays most frameworks and platforms offer a Dockerized quickstart.
Instead of installing (and presumably later maintaining) php/apache/mysql, just provide pre-built containers and simply install docker(and maybe git).

That is a really great idea for a contribution! I might try to build a Dockerfile and submit a PR.

But in the mean time you could also get it preinstalled on a Droplet here:

This is cool! In my opinion I could only see a serious business using tools like this if they are actually open source - really excited about stuff like this empowering more startups and faster development!

Hi, I have followed your write-up, very well written. I am deploying this on my own server. After following all the steps, I try to access my site xxxxx.com I get a note in the corner "No input file specified."
Is there something I have missed or left out. Server running Ubuntu 20.04, PHP 7.4 tried both Composer V1 and V2.

Thanks

There is no need to install mcrypt.
Mcrypt has been deprecated and removed from php for some time now.

Also composer create project, runs the artisan command, so no need for that too...

You do actually need mcrypt it is part of Microweber’s dependencies
