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

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

- 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

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 (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?

IoT Setup Lab | Local https://www.home-assistant.io/ setup to have a plattform for additional functions like power monitoring or controlling of the devices in the lab | Adrian | |
Cleanup | Check MQTT and other IT devices. Which are still up to date, which can be fixed and which are not existent anymore.
check remaining stuff in the lab, if something depends on old ports: MuMaBus ; Cleanup also acl.conf |
