This repository contains all the scripts and info to run the PRHLT's web server and its member's personal web spaces (https://www.prhlt.upv.es/~username).
The web server is based on Nginx running through docker-compose. It is expected to be located in an nginx folder at the home's directory of a user named webmaster.
Prior to running the Nginx server, you need to place the following files into your nginx directory:
- certificado.pem.
- certificado.key.
- dhparam2048.pem.
where certificado.pem and certificado.key are your SSL certificate files; and dhparam2048.pem is obtained by running the following command:
openssl dhparam -outform pem -out dhparam2048.pem 2048
You can run the Nginx server by doing:
docker-compose up -d
Note: you need to run this command inside the /home/webmaster/nginx directory.
The Nginx server is prepared to run personal web pages for the PRHLT's members (https://www.prhlt.upv.es/~username). However, access is not granted by default. You can grant access to a user by running the scr/personal_spaces.sh script:
sudo scr/personal_spaces.sh username
Besides granting the user access, it will create a public_html folder inside their home directory. They can create their own personal website inside that folder.
scr/personal_spaces_backup.sh constains a script for saving a back-up of the personal spaces. To set it up, you just need to edit the variables username and server with the data of your back-up server and programe a daemon with root permissions:
sudo crontab -e
Here's an example of a configuration:
0 0 * * * /home/webmaster/scr/personal_spaces_backup.sh
The PRHLT web run's through a separate docker which has an Apache server. The Nginx server it's set up to proxy pass petitions to it through port 8000.
