Webservers

Introduction

There will be several Webservers in the Home Lab. Each will be on it's own Virtual Machines and will be on the production VLAN. The MySQL databases will be on a separate VM on the same network so no connectivity problems from that. The Proxy server will forward all web traffic to the appropriate webserver. There are a few helpful scripts that can help with Webserver Setup Scripts

SSL Config

There will be two setups for SSL/TLS one for the seaoffate.local and one for seaoffate.net. More details can be found here

webservers Purposes

four webservers with the primary job of serving websites have been defined.

Logan (Wiki)

logan has been setup as a webserver to have the wiki website. It's IP is 192.168.100.12 It can be accessed by logan.seaoffate.local, wiki.seaoffate.local or wiki.seaoffate.net. Lodan has now been retired and wikimedia has moved to Plum

Lime Default or www

The default website is hosted on lime. The IP is 192.168.100.10. It can be accessed by lime.seaoffate.local, www.seaoffate.local, seaoffate.net or www.seaoffate.net. The application that is running the main website is Joomla.

Fig (files)

There is a change of plan and Fig is now hosting a Nextcloud server on prod.11. Not much to say really the install was simply a matter of downloading the installer, create a Database and start the installer going. The prompts were quite self explanatory. The only thing that is notable is that there is now a 1.7 TB hard drive added to store any and all files uploaded here.

Bookstack

Bookstack has been installed on Plum as an alternative note book to Wikimedia. The DNS name for bookstack is https://notes.seaoffate.net

Plum (Photo)

This one is to host the photo website, probably Piwigo. It can be accessed at plum.seaoffate.local, photo.seaoffate.local or plum.seaoffate.net. The Ip will be 192.168.100.22. The setup here is to have a normal HD for the webserver and a large separate HD for the photos. We may VM called strawberry (IP prod.23).
