Hi Sanjay, When you do a metacello configuration or baseline install with the command line tools, the image is saved automatically at the end (if the load is successful). My current approach is described here https://github.com/svenvc/minimal-pharo-server-tools which is a newer version of https://github.com/svenvc/pharo-server-tools Much of this goes beyond Pharo and requires some Unix/Linux knowledge, but it is all standard stuff.

@Sven,
(While going thru the book ".../DeployForProduction...")
seems section 1 & 2 would have to be updated ...
In section 3 Build Your Image ... what is the script for installing dependencies from github and having a Baseline (instead of Configuration) as practically all packages have moved to Github
and In this method it seems the image is never saved / persistent. In the event of a stoppage it begins ground up. Is that correct ?

Can I run this way the same image which otherwise runs fine thru the graphical environment
When I run that image in graphical environment it immediately starts as the application server. So cwould it work from the command line tools without changes.
...$ ... ...$ nohup ./pharo
<myPharo.imageWithCompletePath> In principle, yes.
But I recommend to not have running servers/services in the saved image, but instead to save (better auto build) a new clean image with nothing open (close all windows), nothing running, just your code. And then use a startup script.
Either use a run.st file which does all the work, or a class side 'MyStart startForProduction'.
Please read the book chapter.

Hi,
Everybody is free to do whatever they want, of course.
My advice would be to not use graphical tools to deploy server applications (unless as add ons afterwards, like a dashboard or management app).
Use Linux (Ubuntu is the safest choice).
Stick with headless (no gui) command line tools.
Pharo is very good at this.
Also use 64-bit (that is 64-bit Pharo on 64-bit Linux), it will make your life much easier.
Here is a short example:
stfx@audio359:~$ mkdir pharo8
stfx@audio359:~$ cd !$ cd pharo8
stfx@audio359:~/pharo8$ curl get.pharo.org/64/80+vm | bash % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 3054 100 3054 0 0 67866 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 69409 Downloading the latest 80 Image: http://files.pharo.org/get-files/80/pharo64.zip Pharo.image Downloading the latest pharoVM: http://files.pharo.org/get-files/80/pharo64-linux-stable.zip pharo-vm/pharo Creating starter scripts pharo and pharo-ui

stfx@audio359:~/pharo8$ kill %1 [1]+ Terminated nohup ./pharo Pharo.image eval --no-quit 'ZnServer startOn: 9090'
BTW, nohup is one way to keep something running after you log out (systemctl services being the pro/real way)
The following book chapter explain things reasonably well:
https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/EnterprisePharoBook/lastSuccessfu...
Nowadays, you would use Baselines and git though.
I can give you more info if you want. Feel free to ask questions.

Hi
Eventually in a Digitalocean Ubuntu droplet, I connected from Windows 10 to a Ubuntu Graphical desktop, installed PharoLauncher and couple of images and got seaside up, installed Mongo DB and a Pharo App. pretty smooth and can share how to step by step if anybody is interested.
(note: no additional software is required on Windows 10 except chrome - as SSH, Remote Desktop is inbuilt, Chrome only for its VNC app)
Question: what is the best way to run and leave the Pharo App as a seaside server running. Currently I am running thru the X Desktop and if I Disconnect / logout from the remote desktop session then the pharo app may go down. also is that the most stable and resource optimised way
further: is Apache recommended
