TrueNAS and ubuntu LAMP server

[travlanders80]

Posting here because I am such a noob I am unsure about the setup... I just know what I want do...

1. I want raid network storage for video, pics, etc. => so I built a machine specific for this and installed TrueNAS.... cool

then I got to thinking... I also want to run a LAMP server and I wondered if I could do that on the same machine in some way. preliminary reading and guessing leads me to believe I can run a LAMP server by setting up a VM with TrueNAS and then installing ubuntu on that VM then the LAMP software....

Am I approaching this right? Not sure what other information I may need to provide but that is what I want and how I was thinking I could get it done... I was hoping someone with more knowledge of TrueNAS might hit me back to let me know if I am approaching this problem in the right way or guide me to a better solution if there is one....

Cheers,

Travis

nothing?

LAMP is for Linux.

TrueNAS CORE / FreeNAS is FreeBSD.

FEMP is the stack name for FreeBSD.

You can install FEMP in a jail or run Linux in a VM and run LAMP on that.

A jail demands significantly fewer resources from your NAS.

FEMP is the stack name for FreeBSD.

I'm sure you meant FAMP? Only the first initial changes (Linux -> FreeBSD), the rest of the stack remains the same.
Actually, it would stay LAMP since OP said that he wants an "Ubuntu VM".

Note to OP: I'd run FAMP in a jail instead. You'd incur less performance overhead unless you need to also install some Linux-specific thing that doesn't exist in FreeBSD ports collection.

No. It was coming from way back in my memory, but I was right (at least sort of):

Install Nginx, MariaDB and PHP (FEMP stack) on FreeBSD 11

In this tutorial, I will describe the process of installing and configuring the FEMP stack on FreeBSD 11.x. FEMP software stack is an acronym for Free...

I think it's a reference to the substitution of nginX (pronounced like Engine-X, hence the E instead of the A for Apache in the Linux stack).

However, you can also install Apache on FreeBSD, so you can have a FAMP stack.

Personally I prefer nginX to Apache, so I guess I remembered it like that.

Both are "correct" and will result in a working stack.
