Web Infrastructure

Some documentation on MuMaLab's web infrastructure stuff.

Hosts

We currently have 3 VMs at Hetzner:

• mars.munichmakerlab.de (Mars)
• jupiter.munichmakerlab.de
• saturn.munichmakerlab.de

Saturn

• docker containers are started via systemd
• cronjob added for cleanup of old docker images
• Firewall: ufw => check via sudo ufw status verbose
• fail2ban to ban hosts with too many authentication failures

• Create your own account, needs to be confirmed by an admin

Maintenance

We currently have a bit of a spam problem, easiest way to fix it currently is to clean them up in the database directly.

update mw_account_requests set acr_rejected = DATE_FORMAT(NOW(),"%Y%m%d%H%i%S"), acr_user = 1, acr_comment = "Spam, no confirmed mail address", acr_deleted = 1 where acr_email_authenticated is null and acr_rejected is null and acr_registration < now() - interval 7 day;

update mw_account_requests set acr_rejected = DATE_FORMAT(NOW(),"%Y%m%d%H%i%S"), acr_user = 1, acr_comment = "Spam", acr_deleted = 1 where acr_rejected is null and acr_registration < now() - interval 7 day;

update mw_account_requests set acr_rejected = DATE_FORMAT(NOW(),"%Y%m%d%H%i%S"), acr_user = 1, acr_comment = "Spam", acr_deleted = 1 where acr_rejected is null;

Status

Space status at https://status.munichmakerlab.de

• Details at StartYourEngines

MuMaBus

Space Automation, see MuMaBus for details

• MQTT at jupiter.munichmakerlab.de

Slack

Chat, with bridge to IRC

• Application in itself is SaaS. Talk to tarwin or tiefpunkt
• IRC bridge is powered by RelayBot, hosted on ???

Additional Services

• Calendar as iCal
• ical2email. Sends reminder emails for events to mailing list, using the wordpress calendar. Python script running daily on vps02.thearrow.de

Access

The following people currently have admin access to the infrastructure:

• Milian
• Phier
• tiefpunkt
• Adrian

Migration and Optimization 2024

We're planning to consolidate services into a standard deployment model, consolidate external services, and maybe add some new ones.

Ideas

Consolidate:

• Wiki: Containerize => Challenges: php modules; updating php/wiki; ggf. make it easier to include the plugins (maybe php compose module handling)
• Mailsystem: ??

Externally hosted, and to be transfered into MuMaLab Infrastructure

• Tickets (https://tickets.mumalab.org/courses/)
• Calendar -> Google Calendar -> NextCloud
• ToolJet (via OpenUnitState)

Planned Services

• NextCloud
• evtl Ticket System
• Single Sign On: e.g. login to wiki either locally or via SSO. Later only SSO. Can be used e.g. for nextcloud or other services as well

Details unclear

• InfoBeamer

Lightburn VM

2. Licence for lightburn is already available. Would be nice to give members the chance to prepare Laser stuff remote and just come to the lab to laser.

Challenges: No Linux support https://forum.lightburnsoftware.com/t/linux-support-to-end-after-v1-7/144605; exposing remote desktop in secure way

Remote Systems?

https://guacamole.apache.org/

SSO

IDPs

1. Option: Authentik
2. Option: https://git.cccv.de/uffd/uffd
3. Option: ...?

Auth:

Complete guide to Nextcloud OIDC authentication with Authentik

Integrate Authentik and Nextcloud

Wiki Plugins for OIDC etc.: Plugable Auth
