Hi,

Everybody is free to do whatever they want, of course.

My advice would be to not use graphical tools to deploy server applications (unless as add ons afterwards, like a dashboard or management app).

Use Linux (Ubuntu is the safest choice).

Stick with headless (no gui) command line tools.

Pharo is very good at this.

The following book chapter explain things reasonably well:

Nowadays, you would use Baselines and git though.

I can give you more info if you want. Feel free to ask questions.

Sven
