What is included in the concept of "raise the server"?

Question

IT terminology

For example, in the recommendations for an internship it says: "Try to program something: write a game, create a website or raise a server."

Answer 1

1. Come to the server room, take the server and lift it up. Problems: Servers are usually bolted to racks. It is easy to lift an unscrewed server, the screwed one should be unscrewed, disconnected and then already lifted. Do not forget to lower everything later and connect it as it was.
   
2. Take and buy the cheapest virtual machine (VDS) for a month on some low-cost hosting. Select ubuntu, install docker, run in separate containers (and write in contab) VPN, proxy for Telegram, minecraft server. Each of these actions is done by one command. Problems: be careful, it's easy to get hooked on such a server. A stable working telegram, the absence of site blocking, your minecraft tube server - you quickly get used to it. Then you want to raise your cloud, start your internet radio station for friends... Be careful, if the beard grows through the sweater, it will be difficult to get rid of them.
   
3. Carefully study the subject area in which you are doing an internship and, probably, it will become clear what kind of server we are talking about here. Maybe you are aiming for loaders and then see item 1.
   
4. It is probably reasonable to ask your question to those who set such a task, and not to an indefinite group of people who help beginners solve technical problems.
   

Answer 2

Well, they need strong developers.
Chezh here incomprehensible?!)))
Raising a server means putting a server operating system on the server, setting up user rights and a firewall (firewall), installing and configuring the operation of typical software Internet servers: web server, dns server, mail server, docker etc.

Answer 3

Install and configure the server so that it works and performs its functions.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Servers can be different, from the banal one, which takes a number and returns its doubled number, to an advanced (for example, gaming) server. For an internship, something in between, such as a proxy server, may be suitable.

Answer 6

Raising the server can be crossed out because by installing pure Linux you have already raised the ssh server,
I think here it would be possible to rename it to "own server"
in this context, this is a client-server application where the server listens on the port.

Answer 7

To raise the server means to launch a server application to which you can connect from the outside, having received a response from it.
For example, install Apache and open a web page in the browser that this server provides. Or install a mail server, and connect to it to send a letter. Thus making sure it works.
At the same time, if the server is running, but you don’t get the result (the page doesn’t open, the mail doesn’t leave), you need to fix the problem and ensure that it works.
