I started reading Red Hat Application Development I: Programming in Java EE and wanted to setup an “Enterprise Application Platform”. I found a Red Hat EAP 7 offering (it’s kind of hidden!) but the WildFly project caught my eye along the way.
I was initially thinking I would run WildFly on DigitalOcean and found: https://www.liquidweb.com/kb/how-to-install-wildfly-on-centos-8/. Then I thought it might be easier and more fun to run it on my laptop as a toy in-home enterprise application server. So I followed the instructions on my RHEL8 machine and now the computers on my home network can access the fledgling EAP 🙂
