Creating an OpenCart online store

OpenCart is a free and open-source platform where you can create an online store of any complexity with a broad selection of community-supported extensions.

In this tutorial, you will create and configure an OpenCart online store by setting up a VM with pre-installed required software, e.g., OpenCart and MySQL server.

The guide describes how to configure a local MySQL server or, if you need higher performance, how to deploy a Yandex Managed Service for MySQL® database cluster.

You can create an OpenCart online store with one of these tools:

• Management console: Create your infrastructure step by step in the Yandex Cloud management console.
• Terraform: Streamline creating and managing your resources with the infrastructure as code (IaC) approach. Download a Terraform configuration example from GitHub and deploy your infrastructure with the Yandex Cloud Terraform provider.
