The server update for Oregami and Kultpower websites is finished.
Before the update the server operated on Ubuntu 12 and had one single apache web server, which had to be used for all websites.
From now on the new server runs Ubuntu 16 and no other software - except for docker. Every web site runs in an isolated docker container, or even on multiple small docker containers (web server & database). In front of all web servers we now use traefik, a reverse proxy, which distributes all webkits to the corresponding (docker) web server. A very neat feature of traefik is the automatic generation of SSL certificates for every web domain via letsencrypt. Yeah!
Another thing we updated is the public website of www.oregami.org : previously it needed a web server with PHP and a MySQL database to operate the content management system "Redaxo". The website was not designed for mobile devices, and the blog posts were written an blogger.com (by Google). From now on the whole website will be served from static HTML files. These are generated from a new GIT repository, which contains HTML templates and markdown text files for pages and blog posts. The generation is done with Jekyll, a great open source static website generator. And you should try to visit the site with your mobile device: works like a charm! (see attached picture: before - afterwards)
The update to docker based websites now gives us the opportunity to continue the development of our open game database: we needed docker e.g. to run "Keycloak", a nice piece of software for user and login management for our database.

Maybe we should publish farewell posts there for the people watching the blogger.com accounts.gene wrote:The website was not designed for mobile devices, and the blog posts were written an blogger.com (by Google).
