LAMP

This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.

LAMP is a acronym for Linux + Apache + MySQL and (usually) PHP.

Most IndieWeb sites are running on some variant of LAMP stack, though there are common exceptions like:

• nginx instead of Apache
• file-storage instead of any database (per database-antipattern)
• Another programming language (Python, Ruby, JavaScript, etc) instead of PHP.
• MongoDB or Postgresql instead of MySQL.
