Creating an OpenCart online store

OpenCart is a platform where you can create your own online store. The platform is free and open-source. With OpenCart, you can create an online store of any complexity using a broad selection of community-supported extensions.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create and configure an OpenCart online store. You will deploy a VM with pre-installed OpenCart and the software it needs to run, specifically the 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 from the Yandex Cloud management console.
• Terraform: Streamline creating and managing your resources using the infrastructure as code (IaC) approach. Download a Terraform configuration example from the GitHub repository and deploy your infrastructure using the Yandex Cloud Terraform provider.
