Goals Get to know Linux server basics
Two thirds of the group had basically no experience on them prior to this course
To create some basic server Nothing too fancy
Debian Debian distro was chosen because of
Jussi’s earlier experience with Debian Installing went without incident, only
thing we had to do was download the newest image from the web
Installation was done by Vmware vSphere client software
Debian We did the basic server configurations
Creating users Updating packages etc. Vmware tools Other course related tasks
Remote access SSH was installed to enable remote
access through Putty VPN required to login (this was provided by
the teacher) After this we basically did the course
assignments remotely through the Putty terminal
What was actually done? We had some trouble coming up with a
server idea We decided to go for something pretty simple,
since Juhana & Petteri didnt really know much in advance and we didn’t want Jussi to do all the work alone
Apache The Apache web server application was
installed on the server by the following command:
# apt-get install apache2
Apache Web server
System information through a phpsysinfo-package
SSH (Secure Shell) SSH was installed in order to be able to
remotely connect to the server with Putty This was done by the command:
# aptitude install openssh-server Also a VPN connection was required,
because the server is in a closed ciscolab network This was done by using the OpenVPN client
and the config file provided by the teacher
SSH connection through VPN
OpenVPN interface
Remote connection by Putty
UT 2004 Dedicated game server
We downloaded the server software straight to the server with wget
The server software was a zip package, which was extracted with unzip
The server has a web administration interface, which can be accessed by a browser at the port 8080
UT 2004 Dedicated game server
Screenshot from the web administration interface
FTP server We also installed an FTP server software
with the following command:# apt–get install proftpd
Our FTP server automatically uses the user login information of the server
We configured the FTP server so that the users can only view their own home folder and upload items there
Result PJJ-server
Apache webserver UT 2004 dedicated game server FTP-server SSH connection to enable remote access
through Putty (and VPN)
