Idk of any good series but techno Tim has a great video on using cloudflare and traefik to get wildcard letsencrypt ssls for your docker services.

I think the bulk of users are running discarded junk and raspberry pis.

That was me, I built a ~$5k rig and now some of what I’m doing is just nonsense of a typical self hoster, so the point is somewhat valid, but even those like me mostly started out with discarded junk and raspberry pis.

Docker used to scare me until I tackled a project that required me to use it. Then I realized I learned it without knowing I’d learned it.

Are the two servers on the same LAN? Did you update all configs for the new servers address?

Is the docker container spinning up and running, or failing and exiting?

Run docker ps, it’ll tell you how long your containers have been running or if they exited.

If everything is running then it’s most likely network, and I’d need to know how it is you used to access it on the old server (web address? Ip?)

If it’s not running then you get to dig through error logs to get to the next step 🤓

What do you mean “doesn’t have the same way”?

My first method eliminates waiting to see if your students code runs fast enough. Unless complexity is part of the assignment, I’d still say go for the hash.

It’s also less work for the professor/grader.

I mean just for the love of God don’t spin up something on your company’s infrastructure that accepts file uploads.

Just don’t.

If you’re reading this and going “well, it’s just internal,” or “well, it doesn’t do much it just accepts this exact file type.” My god. Ask your CISA. And if they’re okay with it, cool. That’s on them.

Unless your whole business is transferring files, don’t. And even then… Don’t.

And if you’re still confused, the answer is to use another company’s infrastructure for this. Use Azure. Use AWS. Use Google cloud or even g suites. Don’t accept that liability. Let the trillionaires do it.

Why give your students a way to get RCE on your institutions servers through anything less than perfect file upload implementation.

For a .tar? I wish you the best…

Instead of that, simplify.

Use unique salts for each assignment per student.

Align hashes with those salts to check the outcome for each students assignment.

Literally have them send you a CTF style sha256 string.

Do it step by step where each step doesn’t depend on the next, grade as a percentage of flags accurately procured.

For getting your stuff available over the internet, y I recommend a secure tunnel with wire guard between your vps and servers running the services.

Make your vps an authentication portal using stuff like Authelia and Fail2ban.

If you’re really needing out, get ELK stood up for free and get agents on your containers/services to keep visibility into any potential… Anything

Show it.

Take for example the case where person A has blocked person B.

Person C comments. Person B responds.

New thread, same post, person C comments about how some people think like person B, and quote them.

As is the current case, person A can see this quoted material. It’s just text. It’s not in any programmatic way tied to the person B account.

We don’t need to change this just because it’s a child comment of person B.

Been doing this with a warning system. I tag shitty people and block them if I see a person who is tagged acting shitty.

2 years in, no regrets.

I do wish Lemmy would fix the blocking system though. If someone who I’ve blocked responds to me, I don’t see it. Fair enough, but I also don’t see what people who respond to that say. I feel like it should just show the username as [blocked] and the content as [hidden] with an option for me to show that content/username, while keeping the rest of the child content fully visible.

Found the Russian.

I didn’t say you need it. I strongly recommend the as a provider.

No I am talking about creating a secure tunnel.

Secure tunneling.

I agree, I only include it as a “woah this WordPress stuff is confusing!” lower barrier to entry.

Try WordPress first. If they’re absolutely stuck, wix is a lot more beginner friendly. But yes, beware of the downsides to having your hand held.

Use WordPress. It’s by far the most used content management platform, so if you’re a beginner, you’ll find the most resources. It’s also free and open source.

Then you can, if you want to make it even easier, use a page builder like Elementor or Divi or something. Or not.

There’s also Wix for very simple page builds.

Man, I don’t know. I wanna know too.

I got a refurb drive in 2019 that has been clicking and rumbling a little to moderately for 6 years now. Great value at this point, but it’s replacement is gathering dust…

Having 0 documentation doesn’t mean you have no DLP strategy. That’s amateur hour.

And again, NB: this does not scale.
