Install Cherokee on Ubuntu:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cherokee-webserver/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cherokee

A tip for users of Linode and possibly other VPS providers that provide a stripped down server version of Ubuntu: if the add-apt-repository command doesn't work, you need to install an additional package first with:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

Seaside startup script, runseaside:

#!/bin/bash
cd /path/to/folder/with/seaside/image/
/path/to/pharo/virtual/machine/executable -vm-display-null seaside.image
