lifeboat is a lightweight application, SSH client, and Xojo web administration utility for Linux servers.

How to Connect to Your Linux Server for the First Time Using Lifeboat

First, this application is intended for users who have one or more Linux servers up and running. The tool supports several Linux distributions such as CentOS 7, Debian 9, Debian 10, Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 20.04 or Ubuntu 20.10. For the current testing process on a live Ubuntu 20.04 server, Lifeboat offers a wide range of options, all in a lightweight and simple implementation.

In order to connect to your Linux server, you need to insert your public static IP address, access port, your username and authentication method. The tool allows you to choose between password and key authentication options. To use your key pair to access the server, click Select and select your key pair file. Go ahead and test the connection, if yes, click Connect. To continue the configuration process further, you can use the tool’s dedicated command to register with Let’s Encrypt, a free SSL certificate provider.

Install the necessary components and prepare the application for deployment

During the connection process, if you are using Lifeboat to access your Linux server for the first time, the tool will request permission to install its components and configure the server. After the installation and configuration process is complete, you can browse server resources, add new instances (domains or subdomains, web applications, static files, etc.), or configure existing configuration settings (for example, add new tools, such as installing PHP).

Once the basics are installed and running smoothly, you can move on to application deployment. These can be uploaded in the “Web Applications” section by entering the name of each tool, assigning it to one of your domains, specifying the number of instances, etc. You can upload the files and choose to deploy them automatically, or wait a moment. This tool is ideal for those building web applications in Xojo 1.0 or 2.0 versions. Thus, you can upload, stage and ship your Xojo application using Lifeboat’s compact feature set.
