How to deploy a web application quickly with Ubos on Raspberry Pi

Ubos, which translates to "You are the boss", is a platform to help intermediately skilled users set up a home server and deploy web apps on it in a most automated way. Ubos puts you in the driver seat without knowing the details of the motor. On the other hand, it does not keep you from exploring the depths of the system.

Ubos is based on Arch Linux. Do not let this scare you away. Ubos reduces administrating the platform and deploying web apps to a mere handful of commands. That also means there is no GUI, it is simply not needed.

Ubos has images available for Raspberry Pi (RPI), Raspberry Pi 2 (RPI2), Beagle Bone Black, X86_64 PCs and for Virtualbox. We will have a look at the performance of the RPI2 when running apps like ownCloud on Ubos to see how the RPI2 outpowers its predecessor. The available apps for Ubos at the time of writing are WordPress, ownCloud, WikiMedia, the URL-shortener Shaarli, the blogging platform Known, and Jenkins as the build platform that Ubos uses itself for continuous development.
