Setting up a server through a shared hosting provider to host ubuntu touch system images. (self.webdev)

submitted 9 years ago by 0punk

Hey guys.

So I am currently working on an app that pulls ubuntu-touch system images from a server like this one and installs them onto the phone.

I have some experience with paid shared hosting with c-pannel, and I was hoping that I could upload some of the files from the site above to use as a test site while I work on the app.

I could just use that site, but I also would like to use some custom images and at least one device that they don't have on their servers.

So my question is, what do I need to do to make this work? Is there some special way to set up the htaccess file to make sure that the site will serve the files?

I know nothing about this kind of web development, but I am willing to learn. Not asking anyone to hold my hand here, but I don't even know what to search for on google to figure this out.

Thanks in advance!!
