One more time (Part II)

So, yes, I was driven to get my web site up and running on a Linux server at home, and I did do that successfully. Then I gave some thought to the other sites that were also living there and decided that hosting them at home did not give me the best availability guarantee, so I opened a Linode account and duplicated my home server there; Fedora 35 Server, Apache, MySQL, PHP, WordPress, etc.

Here is how it all lays out now:

Linode:
www.weitemeyer.net
mark.weitemeyer.net
gthomas.weitemeyer.net
silkydesert.weitemeyer.net

Home server:
home.weitemeyer.net
home.weitemeyer.net/mark
home.weitemeyer.net/gthomas
home.weitemeyer.net/silkydesert

The home cameras page lives at home.weitemeyer.net and the other home.weitemeyer.net sites have a meta refresh=0 tag to redirect them to the appropriate Linode-hosted site.

A quick note

April 20, 2022April 20, 2022 by mark

I am reworking the sites and servers hosting all things associated with weitemeyer.net.

I set up a Fedora 35 server at Linode and am hosting the following there:
www.weitemeyer.net
gthomas.weitemeyer.net
mark.weitemeyer.net
silkydesert.weitemeyer.net

SSL setup is not complete for the silkydesert site at this time. The other three are fully functional. The www site has no content, but is up and running.

I have also set up a Fedora 35 server at home and am hosting home.weitemeyer.net there. SSL is set up and working and sites living in sub-directories are fully functional.

No matter how many times I try to let go of the idea of hosting WordPress on my web server from home, I keep coming back to it. While I did get WordPress running on my Windows server at home, it never did run truly “right”.

This time, things are hosted on a server running Fedora linux, the Apache web server, MySQL Community server, and PHP contained within my home network.

Since I have Google Fiber with a symmetrical 1Gbps connection, the performance should be acceptable. Time will tell…
