Ultimate Virtual Tour Work Flow - Virtual Private Server to Host Your 360 Tours

Hi all!
This video is about how to set up a virtual private server so you can host your own virtual tours and have full control over everything with access to the back end. It's a bit boring but it's necessary if you want to save some $$$ since 3D vista chargers WAY too much.
Here are some useful links and text to follow along with the video:
For the SSL certificate command you can use this command sudo /opt/bitnami/bncert-tool or visit this website for more details: docs.bitnami.c...
For settings up restrictions you can put these lines in the htaccess.conf file:
Header always set Strict-Transport-Security: "max-age=31536000" env=HTTPS
Header always set Content-Security-Policy "upgrade-insecure-requests"
Header always set X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff"
Header always set X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block"
Header always set Expect-CT "max-age=7776000, enforce"
Header always set Referrer-Policy: "no-referrer-when-downgrade"
Header always unset X-Frame-Options
To access your word press instance follow this guide to obtain your password: lightsail.aws....
Any questions please ask!

I don't think people understand the amount of detailed information crammed into this 12 minutes video! This is so awesome. He points you in all the right directions. Thanks man.

My pleasure!

Thank you for this information, very helpful. I'm starting my own Virtual Tour business and hosting was a hurdle for me, thanks for helping me jump over it.

[@360TourDude]

No prob! Good luck

3dvista hosting costs nearly $400 per year for a measly 1GB storage. It is not expensive. It is commercially prohibitively unaffordable.

[@360TourDude]

😂😂😂

[@JustAnotherChannel100]

@bldtv7038 did you figure this out yet? I'm curious how you managed this. I'm a small photographer looking to start offering 3dvista but the high hosting fees made me start searching for other options. What did you decide to do?

[@bldtv7038]

@@JustAnotherChannel100 Hi. I figured it out yes. I took the 1gb storage limit offered by 3dvista. The saving and hosting is easily done. The solution tbh is compression. You’ll need to compress your 360 images to a level that they don’t lose their quality. That’s a trick in itself btw with a lot of testing and uploading to determine results, I was able to fit appropriately fifty 360 images to the 1gb allowance.

I am stuck at connecting my domain to my lightsail ip Address. Somebody help

[@joshuagoodfellow7554]

The apps folder was not present @ /home/bitnami Any suggestions?

[@joshuagoodfellow7554]

Got it figured out, for some reason the instance did not deploy correctly and failed to create the /opt/bitnami/wordpress/ directory. Deleted the instance and started over. Learned that ~/wordpress/ has been moved out of ~/apps/ in 6.*.* so just created the ~/VirtualTours/ at /opt/bitnami/wordpress/VirtualTours/.

[@chinedunkwocha8721]

Really good Vedio.

[@notalotaboat]

Hi Felix, I am struggling to access htdocs as my files seem to be arranged in a different format. Also, could you make a video on a way to host on EC2 instance as lightsail instances are limited to Wordpress websites.

[@dripnature931]

While creating an instance on lightsail, why is your platform Linux and not Microsoft windows since your computer looks like windows to me?

[@360TourDude]

Good question! We’re just using it as a server so it doesn’t really matter, it just needs to run our Wordpress site ans have some storage. Windows instances are usually more expensive.

[@dripnature931]

@@360TourDude and is there any way we can connect with you over zoom and get help from you?

[@zouhairbenazzouz2536]

why you stopped man ? Did the business failed you ? Or is it the small amounts of views ? You have to keep it up !

[@360TourDude]

Honestly just life man! I’m moving and I got married. Will restart once I’m settled!

[@RonySarahVariety]

[@sosavage360]

The Apps ----> Word Press ----> htdocs (what if I dont see the Apps part?)

[@joshuagoodfellow7554]

Did you ever figure this out, trying to follow along in 2024 and this is my issue as well.

[@fredhenaux1114]
