Backend technologies for a structr web app

[Ram P]

Hi,

I am developing a web app using structr but am not sure of the technologies to use at the backend. Could someone help me select the same? I have built a web app using nginx-gunicorn-falconframework-neo4j before and would like to know what I could use for the structr app. Any help here would be really appreciated.

Thanks.

Regards,
Ram

Hi there Ram! I'm still learning Structr, so my response may not be the best you'd get.

However, as much as I know, Structr is a self-sufficient base-app, server and build tools packed together in a Docker image. It has all you need to build on top of the base app and serve. You start structr, create some pages, your logic, and you're serving. Maybe you're trying to know where to host your sever-app (Structr) and your Neo4j database, other than running it on your local PC.

Structr is based on Java, thus cannot go on Zend Server hostings like apps based on PHP (like Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla, etc). You need a hosting provider that supports Docker images (for example: structr.com, Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, etc., just to name a few). If you feel like doing things yourself and have the technical nohow, you can go for any Dedicated Server hosting provider, you rent a dedicated server where you can install your operating system of choice (like CentOS, Red Hat, Ubuntu, etc), install and configure Docker to host your server-app (your Structr docker image).

Some of these providers (like GCP, the creators of the Neo4j database engine, etc...)  offer Neo4j DB hosting in their hosting packages, or externally.

Hope I got your question right.

Thanks Henshaw. Your response provides a lot more clarity on how I need to proceed.
