[GRLUG] software suggestion - follow up

[desert frag]

Ok the server side of Linux is a new experience so bear with me.


I've set up a web site on my VPS:  http://192.210.207.15/

Note it's Ngnix.  I think php and mysql were installed.

http://192.210.207.15/info.php

Hack away :)


One suggestion was to use OwnCloud for an image hosting solution.  Well, it's a mess with CentOS right now.  


https://github.com/owncloud/documentation/issues/56
https://github.com/owncloud/documentation/pull/67

Since it's a mess I haven't proceeded.


My original question was:

Another suggestion was:

'Just set up a simple web server with Nginx or Twisted, and an SSH bookmark
to the shared folder. Drag and drop at will.'

Alright, since it appears Nginx is functioning ok how do I proceed?  How are images uploaded to the site? Do directories need to be created on the server?  What would be the url of the images if I wanted to point someone to a picture(s)?  


Would appreciate specific step by steps.  Thanks.
