A SlickStack pilot file is a small bash script that any developer, team, or company can maintain to make it easier/faster to manage multiple SlickStack servers. We recommend the “secret Gist” feature on GitHub, which allows you to generate a file that can be wget without allowing search engine indexing. Within the pilot file your […]
What is the meaning of LEMP stack? It is an acronym that stands for: Linux Nginx MySQL PHP And yes it’s a little funny that the “E” stands for Nginx, but it was trying to be similar to the LAMP stack acronym so they chose “E” to make it sound nice. The “Eeee” sound is […]
