Linguica Posted December 11, 2018 Hello gang, As you probably know, I run Doomworld. Like, all of it, from the servers hosting to the operating systems to the various packages installed to the configurations of all the systems. You may also know, or have a strong suspicion, that I am not a professional at this. Watching the web server cry out in pain today while I was utterly unable to do anything made me realize that I should probably actually rebuild the web site in a more sane and maintainable way, and not the ad hoc antipattern nightmare where I learn just enough to be dangerous about every bit of software I need but have no clue of any formal way of administering it. But, again, the problem is that I am not a professional. What I must admit to myself and to all of you is that I need a professional. I need Bar Rescue to come in and tell me the way things really ought to be set up, and what the best practices are and why they matter, and basically turn the ramshackle tinkertoy construct I currently have into something maintainable. Anyways, so is that you? Do you work, in your career, as the sort of person who has knowledge of Linux servers, and specifically web servers, and configuring (small) networks of component servers for a web app or similar? Are you willing to consult with me regarding the current disaster that are my Linodes and the best and most advisable way to reconfigure them? Are you familiar with software commonly used to help manage system administration tasks? Most importantly, are you willing to patiently work with me on this FOR NO MONEY IN RETURN? If the answer to all those questions are yes, then send me a PM! 16 Share this post Link to post
Buckshot Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) And here I thought it was my internet connection sucking ass today. Took like 45 seconds to load the forums on several occasions. 25 years of DOOM... And the 14.4k dialup speed to go with it! Blast from the past! 0 Share this post Link to post
