Day 19 of 100 Days of Devops

xFusionCorp Industries is planning to host two static websites on their infra in Stratos Datacenter. The development of these websites is still in-progress, but we want to get the servers ready. Please perform the following steps to accomplish the task:

a. Install httpd package and dependencies on app server 2.

b. Apache should serve on port 3002.

c. There are two website’s backups /home/thor/media and /home/thor/apps on jump_host. Set them up on Apache in a way that media should work on the link http://localhost:3002/media/ and apps should work on link http://localhost:3002/apps/ on the mentioned app server.

d. Once configured you should be able to access the website using curl command on the respective app server, i.e curl http://localhost:3002/media/ and curl http://localhost:3002/apps/

Copy the backup files to appserver 2 using SCP

I’d prefer to use my own ssh key rather than password as it takes time to hop servers

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -N ""
ssh-copy-id username@servername

scp /home/thor/media username@servername:/path/to/destination/
scp /home/thor/apps username@servername:/path/to/destination/

Configuring app server 2

Install httpd

sudo yum install httpd -y

then make sure to move copied folders under /var/www/html

then configure the virtual host under /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following virtual host config at the bottom of the file. For more referene https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#virtualhost

<VirtualHost *:3002>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html
    <Directory "/var/www/html">
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Since the folders /var/www/html/media and /var/www/html/apps already exist, Apache will automatically serve them as subdirectories.

Verification

curl http://stapp02:3002/apps

curl http://stapp02:3002/media

Thats all for today!. Thx Bye
