Server control panel

For controlling technical aspects of the server (POWER ON, POWER OFF, RESET, etc.) a web-based control panel is used.

Login at https://manage.edis.at/vps, use "Login with email-address and password (new system)"

email: <edisUser>

password: <edisPassword>


Server login

The server allows secure (ssh) logins only. From a Windows machine it is recommended to use the PuTTy tool as the ssh client.

Login at blackboxframework.org on port 22 with SSH selected.


Server reboot

Use the control panel for rebooting the server in case it shows any anomaly such as out-of memory error messages.

Then login to the server and start Redmine:

cd /var/www/redmine-2.5.2

unicorn_rails -c config/unicorn.rb -E production -D

Certificate extension

Certificates should be extended every 3 months. Note that the TMP folder is very small on EDIS, therefore the /tmp directory should be redirected:

sudo su

export TMP="/var/www/tmp"

export TEMP="/var/www/tmp"

export TMPDIR="/var/www/tmp"

export DIRTMP="/var/www/tmp"

service nginx stop

~/certbot-auto certonly --standalone -d forum.blackboxframework.org -d community.blackboxframework.org -d wiki.blackboxframework.org -d blackboxframework.org -d redmine.blackboxframework.org

service nginx start

For checking the web server status use:

service nginx status

exit

MySql Database control panel

This can be used for example for creating backups of MySql databases. The administration tool is a php-based web application.

Login at http://178.209.50.165/phpmyadmin/

user: <mysqlUser>

password: <mysqlPassword>


Backup Files

Before running the following bash command you should copy your public key to this server in order to login without password (modify it for user/serveradress you want to use):

ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/id_rsa.pub user@serveradress

bash command for backup of all files starting from /var/www (modify it for user/serveradress you want to use).

nohup tar -c /var/www 2>/dev/null | ssh user@serveradress "dd of=.../backup_of_var-www.tar" > result.out 2>&1 &
