This is my setup:
A web server (FreeBSD + nginx), and a second server with Seaside VM + Magma VM. The Magma VM is just Pharo with the Magma server package. Both VMs are running headless, but have RFB (RemoteFrameBuffer) installed, so I can manage them remotely via VNC viewer. Monticello works nicely for package updates, too.

Hello List!
I'm developing a small website in Seaside and using Magma for persistence. Now it's time to deploy the project to a server where development would continue in a more real environment. I'm not sure how to do it, since I've never deployed a smalltalk image.
I was going to run the Magma server in a separate VM, containing not a lot more than needed by Magma. Let's say a plain Pharo image with Magma installed. Seems reasonable to me, but is it a good idea to have it separated from the WEB server and the only client?
The other thing I'm concerned about is stopping the server. How do I shut it down gracefully when running in headless mode?
