Installing Debby

05/20/25

ssh keys

jump from cerealbox to login debby:

ssh cerealbox
ssh xpub@145.24.152.64 (@ip address)

make a shared terminal:

tmux attach

find my ssh keys:

cd USER
ls -la (show hidden files)
cd .ssh
cat (the key I want to copy)

edit config file (nano) in .ssh folder, copy and edit cerealbox config and change host, user and ip address

ssh debby (should now be possible) --> not yet

but we made a local ssh in the config (using debbys local ip address)

ssh debby_local

the config file in my .ssh folder is a listing of all my servers
to run certain install processes go to the root access

$ su

installing mastodon software

Prototyping session w/ Joseph pad

  • death of the hyperlink

server diagram by joseph
  • we remove and install linux on virtual box new (kim, debian)
$ su -> enter pw -> $ apt install sudo nginx  php8.2 (stay in root for next step)
add user as sudo: $ nano /etc/group
in the browser go to localhost

this is already our server, just $ su installing nginx (and php)

  • now we want to add a cms (flatpress)
$ sudo wget https://github.com/flatpressblog/flatpress/archive/1.3.1.zip (you have to be in /var/www/html)
$ unzip
$ mv flatpress-1.3.1/ blog
$ sudo apt install php-fpm
$ sudo systemctl stop nginx
$ sudo apt install apache2
$ sudo systemctl start apache2
in the browser go to localhost/blog
give write access (inside of blog folder do)
$ sudo chmod a+w fp-content/
continue to configure the cms in the browser (localhost/blog)
