OK, I recalled incorrectly the best way to get Chris Muller’s SqueakSource. He called it Personal SqueakSource. He created instructions on how to install it on the swiki.[1] He intended it to be for desktop use, but once it’s running, it is easy deployable as a full server in a server box, because that’s what it’s meant for. 
The release of WebClient-Monticello had announcement describing it. [2] I made it work in localhost at the time - June, 2010 - and I recall having to make a small change. I documented my experiences with it. [3]
SqueakSource is a proven project, but it’s pretty large to my thinking. In contrast WebClient-Monticello is small and hackable. Granted, it’s a proof-of-concept project, but I made it work at the time. I liked it because it was so small, spare, and comprehensible. 

HTH,
Chris
