README
This repository contains the code of my server, which is available at [marcelgarus.dev](https://marcelgarus.dev).
# Setting up the server
This chapter describes my server setup, primarily for my future self.
The server runs Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 64bit; it's a small machine hosted by [Strato](https://strato.de).
## Long-running commands
Using the GNU `screen` utility, you can connect to the server multiple times while retaining the same terminal state.
`screen -S ` starts a new named screen session.
Detach from a screen using ctrl+a ctrl+d.
`screen -list` lists all screens in the form `.`
Screens can be re-connected to using `screen -d -r `.
## Firewall?
No Firewall is needed; only a few programs are listening on ports, so it's easy to get an overview.
To see which programs listen on ports, do:
```bash
netstat -tulpn
```
## Setup the repo
1. Install Git
```bash
apt install curl git nano build-essential pkg-config libssl-dev
```
2. [Install Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/docs/install)
3. Clone this repo
```bash
git clone https://github.com/MarcelGarus/server.git
cd server
```
4. Make the production Caddyfile the system Caddyfile:
```bash
cp production.Caddyfile /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
```
5. Enable Caddy:
```bash
systemctl enable caddy
```
Done! The server will run, even when the system restarts.
Later on, you can apply updates like this:
```bash
git pull && cargo run
```
## Setup DynDNS to route marcelgarus.dev traffic here (DynDNS via Namecheap)
```bash
apt install ddclient
```
This will automatically start a wizard, where you can enter random values.
Configuring is instead done using the configuration file:
```bash
nano /etc/ddclient.conf
```
The content should be this:
```bash
## Update every 300 seconds.
daemon=300
## Log stuff to these files.
cache=/tmp/ddclient.cache
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
## Get the public IP address via dyndns.org
use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.org
# Update using Namecheap.
protocol=namecheap
server=dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com
login=marcelgarus.dev
password='the-namecheap-dyn-dns-password'
ssl=yes
@.marcelgarus.dev, *.marcelgarus.dev
login=marcelgarus.de
password='the-namecheap-dyn-dns-password'
ssl=yes
@.marcelgarus.de, *.marcelgarus.de
login=mgar.us
password='the-namecheap-dyn-dns-password'
ssl=yes
@.mgar.us, *.mgar.us
login=marcel.jetzt
password='the-namecheap-dyn-dns-password'
ssl=yes
@.marcel.jetzt, *.marcel.jetzt
```
To test if it works:
```bash
ddclient -daemon=0 -noquiet -debug
```
The cache file is at `/tmp/ddclient.cache`, and you might need to delete it if you want to re-set the DynDNS A+ record, although the IP didn't change.
Make `ddclient` start when the system is booted:
```bash
update-rc.d ddclient defaults
update-rc.d ddclient enable
```
