Digitalocean Ubuntu configuration

[phenomlab]

@justoverclock I’ve rebuilt this droplet with Virtualmin, and have completed the below

• Setup domain justoverlock.it so that it points to the new server
• Secured the site with HTTPS using let’s encrypt
• Installed PHPMyAdmin
• Installed NodeJS version 14.x (supported by Ghost and recommended)
• Installed and base configured GHOST.
• Configured nginx.conf to use reverse proxy as below

location / {
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2368;
}
 
client_max_body_size 50m;

Now ready at https://justoverclock.it

We should discuss the following

• Backup plans
• Additional memory for server, as 1Gb RAM is leaving things a little “short”
• Maintenance (all latest updates have been installed) - handover back to you when you are comfortable.

As discussed over PM, this is now resolved and confirmed working.

[justoverclock]

@phenomlab yes, it a confirmation that sudonix (phenomlab) is a great resource for everyone like me is at first attempt to manage a server…

i do not have words to say thanks

[phenomlab]

@justoverclock From what I see now, you just need to setup your forum. I think you’re good to go at this point, so (as per PM) I’m handing this server back to you. At some point (very soon - let’s not forget), we need to discuss backup policies etc.

Create a snapshot once you’re done, so if the worst comes to it, you can get everything back.

@phenomlab yep sure, now i’ve just noticed that forum.justoverclock.it is not reacheable on my phone but works on my pc…

[phenomlab]

[justoverclock]

@phenomlab is a mystery…on my iphone does not work…and i’m on the same wifi of my house

[phenomlab]

@justoverclock does it work on 4g ?

[justoverclock]

[phenomlab]

@justoverclock Very odd indeed. Do you get any specific error message and does it work from a laptop on the same WiFi network ?

[justoverclock]

[justoverclock]

Odd indeed. Do you get the same issue if you try with another browser on the iPhone ?

[justoverclock]

@phenomlab on an android tablet i get CERT AUTHORITY INVALID, but if i click “proceed” i can see the forum

[phenomlab]

@justoverclock Hmm - you only get that message if the cert is invalid. According to this, it’s broken

Let me have a look

[phenomlab]

@justoverclock looks better now

Try again ?

[justoverclock]

@phenomlab and magically now works on my iphone

[phenomlab]

@justoverclock Good !!
