Wenn man jetzt sagt, man möchte sich gerne mit Serveradministration auseinandersetzen und auch nur mittels SSH. Wie sollte man am besten starten?
Ziel ist es am Ende, einen Ordner anzulegen und dort Ghost CMS am Laufen zu haben. Die Domain kommt von außerhalb und würde ich mittels DNS mappen.
Ich habe im Grunde keine Ahnung von SSH, habe aber gelesen, dass man damit starten sollte. Putty auf Windows, oder direkt via Terminal unter MacOS (was unter der Woche kein Ding ist).
Als Server würde ich mir einen günstigen V-Server bei Netcup holen. Also nichts Weltbewegendes. Vielleicht auch erst eine virtuelle Geschichte, lokal. Keine Ahnung wie das klappt, habe auch bisher nicht gegoogelt.
Monday morning, the peak time for requests and issues. One of the things I try to avoid on #Linux servers is using external repositories for installing specific package versions. Just a while ago, a developer asked me to install the php module for #PostgreSQL on an (old) #Ubuntu server with an external php repository. Even though the server is being decommissioned, this is a temporary operation for migration. Unfortunately, I had to tell them that the packages are no longer available because that repository no longer provides them. Tech debt always comes knocking sooner or later.
A few days ago, someone asked me for advice about a slow website.
Upon analysis, the server wasn't the issue—it was running #Linux#CentOS7 on bare metal. However, the site was operating on PHP 5.4 (default for CentOS 7) and was entirely custom-made.
I suggested updating everything, especially since CentOS 7 is nearing its EOL, and transitioning the web application to work on PHP 8.
Their response? "We don't want to do it." They wanted me to set up a new, optimized server to run PHP 5.4. I explained the risks and the nonsensical nature of this, only to hear that they found someone willing to install PHP 5.4 on a new system. So, if I refused, they'd give the job to someone else.
I replied, "Good luck," and ended the conversation.
It saddens me that some in the IT world would opt for such shortcuts rather than striving for a more secure web.
