The web production server is a public-facing web application and database server that hosts the website. It was designed and developed by Mildly Geeky, with additional features and bug fixes performed by Shotgun Flat. The server was provisioned by Peter Stevens using a DigitalOcean droplet. It features directory information for Center affiliates, a calendar of events, information about opportunities provided by the Center, news relating to the Center and its affiliates, and publications.
Website updates
In July 2017, Gila Naderi began conversations with Mike McKenna on the 2018 Website Update Pilot Project.
Cron jobs
- Every Sunday at 8am, the server will execute
/etc/cron.d/certrenewal. Note: the Let's Encrypt certificates may not be used by the web engine. They are stored as a standby in case of certificate lapses.
Security
Password authentication
Password authentication is temporarily turned on due to permission denied error messages.
SSL
Certificate is provided by InCommon. It has a term of two years. On September 11, 2018, the certificate expired without notification. It was replaced temporarily with a Let's Encrypt certificate, due to site inaccessibility. The renewal application was initially rejected because three-year certificates were no longer supported. A subsequent certificate – one listing ces-it@fas.harvard.edu as the email address – was applied for, approved, and installed on September 13. The expired InCommon certificate and key are located at the following paths respectively:
/etc/nginx-sp/certs/ces.fas.harvard.edu/ces1.unix.fas.harvard.edu.crt /etc/nginx-sp/certs/ces.fas.harvard.edu/ces1.unix.fas.harvard.edu.key
The Let's Encrypt certificate and key are located at the following paths respectively:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/ces.fas.harvard.edu/fullchain.pem /etc/letsencrypt/live/ces.fas.harvard.edu/privkey.pem
The new InCommon certificate and key are active and located at the following paths respectively:
/etc/ssl/certs/ces.fas.harvard.edu.cer /etc/ssl/private/ces.fas.harvard.edu.key
Cold standby
In case of certificate lapse, uncomment the lines located in /etc/nginx-sp/vhosts.d/ssl.conf which point to the Let's Encrypt certificate and key.
