Maintaining static websites on staticweb¶

Work In Progress¶

1. Add DNS Entry under dot-cdist/files/dns/zones/ungleich.ch

staticcms-staging           CNAME staticweb

2. Run the following command on control server.

cd ~/.cdist; git pull; cdist config -bj7 -p9 -vv d{1..7}.ungleich.ch

3. Run the following commands on staticweb.ungleich.ch

mkdir -p /home/services/www/ungleichstatic/staticcms-staging.ungleich.ch/www/u/
chown -R ungleichstatic /home/services/www/ungleichstatic/staticcms-staging.ungleich.ch/www/

4. Create nginx config for the site under /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/staticcms-staging.ungleich.ch

server {
    listen *:80;
    listen [::]:80;

    server_name staticcms-staging.ungleich.ch;
    root /home/services/www/ungleichstatic/staticcms-staging.ungleich.ch/www;

    # we can use root ... outside of the location block to keep it generic
    # HOWEVER we don't want this, as http only serves the path that is necessary for letsencrypt, nothing more
    # Ask Nico, if you don't believe this -- 20190421
    location /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
        root /home/services/www/ungleichstatic/staticcms-staging.ungleich.ch/www;
    }

    # Everything else -> ssl
    location / {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    }
}
