Re: Seeking LDP server recommendations

Hi

This seems to a major shortcoming of our community. We keep building test/research systems but then don’t have a way to keep these going for production systems.

I just did a search to try to find a straightforward way to setup and deploy a linked data server. I couldn’t find anything. I would welcome any pointers. All our lists on various wikis seem to be very out of date.

But it's prone to unexpected failures without any diagnostics (e.g. fails silently when loading Turtle data with comments; returns garbage data).  It is also a Solid container, there is ACL configuration that complicates the setup if not run in debug mode.
