4p(p)l(e)t: a Void Pubnix
I've made a public access Unix system running on Void Linux, on which this article
is currently hosted on.
§ What?
It is a Linux system which is ran inside a Docker container, upon being registered, the
user can simply use SSH (secure shell) to log into the environment; which is a perfectly
standard Linux shell as a non-superuser.
No password is used during the process, it instead takes use of SSH public keys, which
exclusively allows chosen individual devices of the user for the login, making it much
safer.
Each user currently gets an email address (hosted by Migadu, for almost no downtime)
and a personal subdomain website self-hosted by 4plt, in detail:
Any file put in the public_html folder inside of the user's personal 4plt home folder will
be read by a Lighttpd server and output to the matching subdomain website, without
limitations. Everything is file based.
§ Where?
Right here.
§ Future plans
I am planning on hosting both a Stagit static Git web server and a Gemini protocol
capsule server in the future, taking use of the same folder method.
