I've got Community Server pushed up to our vps, including the databases it generated and I modified locally, and I've got a SQL server instance including an url and credentials.
The trick, the way I see it, is to move the database from my local up to the VPS, attach it to the SQL instance that's available, get SQL running on the instance, and then configure the Community Server that is loaded to access the database that we just attached up.
I think.
