notes
what did I do
12.02.2025
I read through Hosting and serving and Kim's resource. I wanna use debian and nginx because I know this is the server software and os we used for cerealbox.
Kim also suggested I look into this log: Chalien's grad project. It is a log of all terminal codes she set up for her own server project.
What I don't understand so far is why does she use nextcloud... To organise things? Not sure.. Something to ask Manetta :))
WHAT DO WE CALL THE SERVER????????
So Vaio is not good enough and Claudio suggests we call it the Neapolitan hey: https://glosbe.com/nap/it/uaglione
I want to do USB reboot thing. Claudio says I need to use one of these to make the usb bootable.
I tried using VENTOY for this. Rufus for windows.
Initial steps:
Download Rufus and Balena Etcher on server computer. Balena Etcher by itself wouldn't work for me.
Plug your USB in. Start Rufus and write the Debian .iso file in the USB.
When restarting your computer press the rebooting button(is gonna be sth like ESC, F10,F11, etc.-> Search for the right key to press)
Installing:
This is the tutorial I'm gonna follow : https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=153625
DOES NOT works great!
I did it once without the steps and it was a shot in the dark and I chose all the wrong things.
Claudio is on the server comp and I am taking notes for now...
On Rufus we left all settings on default. https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/wiki/FAQ didn't help....

I follow net-tools install instructions on the tutorial page, ifconfig doesn't work instead :
ip a
After this everything went downhill... The internet connection to my hotspot was very shaky. We didn't understand really what we were doing. We kinda tried to google all our errors, managed to connect to Fred's hotspot. I will try at home with my own wifi connection maybe that works better. But the config settings for that might be also very strange and hard to figure out. I don't know anymore...
What we found confusing was that we tried to connect to the server from the server itself so it wouldn't connect and by the time we understood what we were doing the connection was lost...
Claudio claims we managed at some point but I remember differently. Well, I will have a server weekend to sort it out.
Gonna try:
