Message-ID: <20090514125627.4R69T.439405.root@hrndva-web28-z02> This came up at last nights meeting of the Austin Perl Mongers...how to run a site (eg something.com or something_else.org) without using a hosting service or paying commercial fees. Note that you need to check your AUP (Acceptable Use Policy) provided by the basic connectivity provider. There may be bandwidth limits or port blocking that means you need to use a different port, etc. The basic setup is you've got a computer running Linux, BSD, Winblows, Mac OS X, Plan 9, QNX, Amoeba, etc. You want to run a webserver, RDBMS, BBS, etc. In the particular context it was meant as a demonstration of skillset for job interviews. The short answer to this question is 'dynamic dns'. But that didn't satisfy a couple of people alas. So... Let's first understand what Dynamic DNS is about... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_DNS Seems pretty simple. So the first step is to register a domain with your favorite name registrar. This usually runs from a couple of bucks to $35 if you go with the big boys. Then you find yourself a dynamic DNS provider. I use DynDNS because they've been around since the Cretaceous with regard to dynamic DNS. http://www.dyndns.com/ They charge something like $25/yr to have them host your domain. Once you've got an account with DynDNS you're back to your registrar where you tell them the IP address (use at least two) of your name resolver. Now when people try to access your domain the request goes to the DNS registry and gets redirected to DynDNS servers. How does it get from here to your actual box? Well there is this nify Perl script called ddclient that is free. And since it's Perl is reasonably easy to hack even for weird operating systems. It grabs the current IP (whether static or dynamic/DHCP) and sends it back to the DynDNS servers. So when they get a request for your domain they now have an IP to send the packets to. http://ddclient.wiki.sourceforge.net/ http://freshmeat.net/projects/ddclient/ At this point you need to make sure your box has the latest security patches, have whatever services you want exposed turned on, and away you go. -- -- -- -- -- Venimus, Vidimus, Dolavimus James Choate jameschoate at austin.rr.com james.choate at twcable.com 512-657-1279 www.ssz.com http://www.twine.com/twine/1128gqhxn-dwr/solar-soyuz-zaibatsu http://www.twine.com/twine/1178v3j0v-76w/confusion-research-center Adapt, Adopt, Improvise -- -- -- -- From michael.reddick at gmail.com Thu May 14 08:08:08 2009 From: michael.reddick at gmail.com (Michael Reddick) Date: Thu, 14 May 2009 10:08:08 -0500 Subject: APM: Q from APM last night..."How to run a personal site w/o hosting?"

I use linode.com. It's only $20/month for their cheapest setup which is more than enough for most people. I've been very happy with it. You can literally have it setup in 30 minutes. And it's an easy way to learn sysadmin skills. I use Amazon's S3 to store encrypted backups using duplicity. That costs about 15 cents a month.

But > that didn't satisfy a couple of people alas. If you don't want something at your house there are free providers out there. Just depends on what you are wanting to run. Google Apps may be fine for you. There are several free host providers also. For dynamic DNS and hosting you can check outside providers like freedns / afraid.org which allow you to host your own domain for free. Some do require you to let other people have hosts on that domain. Eg. buttercup.mydomain.com for some random person.

For a number of years I hosted websites, DNS, mail, Jabber, etc. off an AT&T DSL line (static IPs, delegated rDNS) and began migrating stuff to a linode virtual back in November when I moved from Austin to Chicago. My only complaint is there's no easy way to back up the virtual for porting to a new data center, or to save the VM locally but it was easy enough to set it up to use the rdiff-backup solution I'm currently backing up with. The big win for me was hardware abstraction; the improved outbound bandwidth and fast reboot were nice but not as cool as not worrying about hardware failure. I highly recommend getting one's hands dirty with system administration. It recently helped with a PC disk upgrade - boot with a Knoppix live CD, a long-running dd command to duplicate the old internal drive to an external drive, shutdown, swap disks, and reboot. You learn a lot, but it takes patience and a willingness to break stuff and reinstall.

You can use foo.nfsnet.net or something if you don't want to have your own domain, or you can get your own domain and they will serve off of that. Anyway, it's an option that might match whatever it was that whoever it was wanted :). mike On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 2:42 PM, > wrote: > Michael Reddick wrote: > > On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 7:56 AM, wrote: > > > >> This came up at last nights meeting of the Austin Perl > >> Mongers...how to run a site (eg something.com or > >> something_else.org) without using a hosting service or > >> paying commercial fees. > >> > > If you want a cheap solution with guaranteed uptime on the connection and > > with the versatility of doing whatever you want with the box, you can get > a > > VPS.
