[Koha] Installation on so-called virtual server at external internet service provider IONOS

[Chris Brown]

Hi Heinz-Jürgen,

I don't have any experience of IONOS but I successfully host Koha on a
virtual private server from Digital Ocean. For a long time we were running
on a small configuration costing 20 USD per month though we have now
upgraded as we're supporting 5 libraries (and a web site). I have had a
smooth ride (though I do have prior experience of administering Linux
servers). Digital Ocean will give you a VPS with Debian pre-installed which
makes it easy to get started.

If you're hosting in-house, some things to think about:

1. Does your ISP offer a static IP address?
2. You will need to set up a tunnel (or do I mean a bridge?) through your
broadband router to your Koha server
3. You will need a way to do backups -- preferably off-site

Good luck!

Best Regards

Chris Brown
