Hello everyone

I am a mathematics PhD student completing my dissertation at Yeditepe
University Istanbul working under Prof Ilhan Ikeda who is at Bosphorus
University Istanbul. I am involved in setting up some seminars,
keeping correspondence with other mathematicians or mathematics students.

I worked for brief periods as a programmer mainly in python on small
projects.

Currently I am working with an electrical technician in Bursa Turkey
who is running an electrical electronical services store.

I am also interested in educational projects.

I am very much into using linux for academic work, I am willing to
introduce other people to linux and possibly set up a local linux
users group where I live.

I am thinking of setting up a server, both for local (at home use), (I
have already set up say samba server or openssh server) to be used
only under one modem. However due to lack of machines dedicated for
that purpose the server is not continuing.

I would like to make a server I set up say at home available at the
workplace as well so that I don't have to run back home while at work.
If possible make the server accessible via a smart phone or some other
computer.

Also in future possibly I would like to set up a web server possibly
for the shop and or for mathematical educational and linux related
activities as well as for myself and friends and maybe local community.

Already gdrive offers opportunities for storing files etc. and wix and
some other sites allow you to build websites and I am sure there are
many other options out there coming from the cloud. But I would like
to explore, if you guys also thinnk it might be a worthwhile endeavor
too and worth the time, to use linux LAMP server or any other option
under the linux umbrella that might be worthwhile. I am thinking of
starting small scale since I am operating on a really tight budget
currently. And should I reach better circumstances whether through
finding some potential financial support or better income myself, I
would like to expand on number of things I try.

I am also in interested in humanitarian causes potentially though I
would not call myself very active or an activist I like reading on
such issues and discussing. One potential possibility is to develop
projects in relation to say immigration crisis to do with syria or any
other cause... even to help assist people in say getting help with
reaching or finding out about public services. But at the moment all
these are ideas. Nothing definite yet. I am exploring.

I would like to ask for suggestions like a roadmap that may be
worthwhile to follow.

Thank you in advance for any assistance and ideas and suggestions and
recommendations.

Sincerely

Semih Ozlem

If you want to smart small and cheap, you can get quite a decent LAMP
server using a nanopi M4V2 which has gigabit+ connectivity and can fit
an NVME drive for excellent speed and storage.

http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_M4V2

It has better connectivity and storage than the Raspberry Pi 4

Because heat is a problem you should get the fancy metal case

I run an earlier version of the board under armbian



To get me started and with no mony for this  I repurpose a desktop
computer that I had/found as a server.
The server was simply Debian in headless mode (no DE ...).

HTH.
