Description
I created a linux custon server that is hosted on Digital Ocean to explore DevOps. Although I don't have very much visuals to show you what it is maybe this description will help you know what I did.
I created a linux droplet running ubuntu, hosted on Digital Ocean. Although it is hard to show a server, you have seen it many times if you have looked at my portfolio. Lots of my portfolio projects are hosted on the server, including this website. They are all run through on a linux server that I am renting which I configured for my needs. I currently have 5 websites hosted on it all running node.js.
The server has 5 servers all running node.js on it. I also have a small MySQL server on it for some of my portfolio projects that need a database. The server is running nginx as a reverse proxy to open the local ports to the public. Originally, I attempted to run a server on my old computer but our internet service provider does not allow that. I also tried heroku hosting, but found them too expensive or took too long to boot up. The server is not designed for a lot of traffic, however for portfolio items it works perfect.
I learned so much about security, deplying, workflows, and DevOps through this project. I continue enjoying learning and exploring upgrading, securing, and building my ubuntu server.
If you want more details about this server just contact me from the contact page. I don't wanna share too many details for the sake of security.
