• Not just BBS Support question

    From claw@21:1/210 to All on Saturday, August 27, 2022 11:05:06
    I'm not exactly sure how to explain my question so they and stick it out.

    The question is really more around Web Virtual hosts. It does pertain to my BBS, however it even more so to the Noverdu Network as a whole. I didn't see any Other Support forums so I'm posting it here. Hopefully Avon doesn't get irritated.

    First I love building servers and tinkering with them. As time has gone on I have found and played with a ton of different softwares. I have generally just created different ports. This works for me internally as I can easily remember them easily, however I constatnly get asked by my patrons which one was that port for again? I want to help them by using subdomains to redirect to virtual hosts.

    I know if you start out with this its not too hard to setup. However I didn't Here is my setup. The End goal would be to have a www.noverdu.com that can show what each of the services are and have links to them.

    nextcloud.noverdu.com:80 goes to my Nextcloud file and chat server. This generally is for a few of my friends and I to just share files and chat on. I used port 80 on this because its the one I want to make sure is easy to get to.

    noverdu.com:88 goes to my radio station.

    noverdu.com:808 goes to my BBS's ftelnet access.

    As time goes on I will want to add more to play around with. I realize how I need to learn and start using virtualhosting so I can separate the services easily and let everyone just use port 80 for everything. Its easier to remember www.noveru.com goes to Home page and radio.noverdu.com goes to radio and so on. instead of all the ports. I only have 1 IP address and eventhough its not technically static I have have the same IP for over 10 years and it even followed my though a move.

    I want to create a server just to be a webserver now so I can try and fix this spaghetti of a setup now.

    I want www.noverdu.com to be a new server on port 80 so I can have a place where everyone can go and be directed to the right server/port, however if someone comes in on nextcloud.noverdu.com I still want that to be directed at the server with that. system

    My setup...
    I have a Dell R815 Server with 64 cores and 192G of ram, running VMWare. I like keeping severs separate so if one has an issue it doesn't take down everything at once.

    I have an HP Micro Server handling just my PFSense so if I need to take down the big server and work on it we don't loose INTERNET. The hole family is in chaos if that happens :).

    I want to create www.noverdu.com now and unsure how to clean this up and go about it in a way that doesn't disrupt the network or addresses people are already using.

    end goal is to have www.noverdu.com:80 be able to have links to redirect to all the services. I still want nextcloud.noverdu.com:80 to keep its access on port 80. From what I have goggled you can do this with virtual hosting and a server running NGINIX or something like this to get the initial connection on port 80 and then redirect it where it belongs internally. on the network. Can this be done with apache as I am more familiar with that?

    I'm going to be done rambling now I'm sure a ton of you are like TLDR. Would be cool if someone can at least point me in the right direction. All the things I google looks like you need to start with the virtualhosting not add it.

    Thanks in advance to all that stuck with it :)

    What web server are you using? Apache is the one I'm most familiar with, and its virtual hosting is fairly easy to setup per website. Another popular web server is nginx, but I haven't got my head around it yet.

    And if you have some applications that have their own web server, you can use reverse proxying with virtual hosting to forward requests to those hostnames from Apache or nginx to the actual web server process.

    I'd start with the docs for the web server software you're using and look at how to enable and use virtual hosting.

    If necessary, I could dig up my Apache configs, which use both virtual hosting and SSL, that would cover Apache. I can't help with any other web servers.

    I think the issue is I'm not sure which one to choose. Because it several VMs or VPS as people have been calling it these days I believe I need to start with a new Web server that just handles this (I could be wrong) Most of the servers have their own way of handling thing and back-ends that rely on specific setups.

    I also have the most experience with Apache, which isn't saying much.

    I would really like to pick your brain sometime if you would be ok with that. I have several methods of direct communication. Part of the difficulty of asking the question is unpacking it from my mind.

    I will have to google it I though a reverse proxy was so you can connect to internal servers just like they were external servers. Example is I use my BBS Noverdu.com by connecting to Noverdu.com which points to the external address even though I'm local.

    Is this the same concepts on a different scale? If yes can I just have PFSense handle it then?

    OK, I'm a bit confused, because you didn't leave me with enough context, especially regarding "I'm not sure which one to choose" - which "one" what?

    I also have the most experience with Apache, which isn't saying much.

    I know Apache a little - enough to be dangerous.

    I would really like to pick your brain sometime if you would be ok with that. I have several methods of direct communication. Part of the difficulty of asking the question is unpacking it from my mind.

    OK, gather your thoughts first. :)

    Sorry for the mess. Like I said it's hard to unpack the question. Too many parts too it. Lets start with choosing between apache and niginx I think it was. I'm sure the second one is misspelled.

    You'd be fine with either, more than likely, but my personal preference is nginx because it really just uses a single thread. Apache uses a thread per connection if memory serves, which is probably fine, but I prefer the predictable nature of nginx.

    I might have missed that you're using pfSense. I do as well.

    There is a HAProxy pfSense package: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/packages/haproxy.html

    I might have missed that you're using pfSense. I do as well.

    There is a HAProxy pfSense package: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/packages/haproxy.html

    Well I've started reading the articles everyone shared. So far I like the idea of having my router handel it all. PFSense with ACME and hyproxy. Might have spelt it wrong but so far that is looking great not sure how I will move the existing certs over but going to have to learn more about how the certs work.

    Thank you to everyone!

    Cool. :) Neat solution for you. Won't work for me, because my system is a VM running Docket containers. Some of the containers will generate HTML and PHP files that the web server will serve, while others run their own web server that will be behind a reverse proxy. My ideal case is to run nginx on the host to be both the web server and reverse proxy, along with Certbot for LetsEncrypt certificates. But I may have to settle for Apache instead (because I know it a lot better).

    After reviewing this a bit and watching that lawerence video I don't see how it wouldn't work for you? Can you elaborate as this sound much like the current setup I have?

    Hmm, you took your current setup out for me to compare again. :( And video reference isn't helpful either for me, I tend not to watch instructional videos, as they are largely a waste of time for me. :(

    From memory, you're using port forwarding in places. While Docker does have its form of port forwarding, I'd have to do another comparison to find what I saw last time.

    Haha it's subtle missing bits of information. I'm very sensitive to that. :( Part of my workaround for different communication styles is I try and assume a lot less, but when the other person makes unspecified assumptions, that's kinda hard.
