Semibug,
I recently registered a domain name.
I am interested in learning how to manage it effectively.
What is the best way to learn how to manage a domain
with registrar-provided remote access tools?
What are basic expectations?
What are some advanced expectations?
What are best practices regarding
'A records', 'A dynamic records', 'mx record',
'URL redirection', 'ABE', ???
I've been a sendmail and postfix postmaster, apache webmaster,
and moinmoin wikimaster for most of the last 4 decades.
I've edited ldap, nis hosts, and iptables set up by others.
My goals include
1. /var/www/html/index.html
on my (Raspberry Pi) web server
is seen by the public as https://mydomain.tld/
also as https://www.mydomain.tld/
2. port 1465
with listening (Raspberry Pi web server) postfix
is seen by the public as mail.mydomain.tld:465
3. /var/www/purpose/index.html
on my (Raspberry Pi) web server
is seen by the public as http://purpose.mydomain.tld/
also as https://www.purpose.mydomain.tld/
4. port 80
on my hot tub web server
is seen by public as https://hottub.mydomain.tld:8080/
5. Other hosts on my LAN are visible to each other,
but invisible to the public.
I currently have approaches to meet all of the above goals.
1 and 3 have been successfully tested.
2 and 4 are untested.
5 is not known to fail (which is not the same as successfully tested).
I believe that there are BETTER approaches than what I have devised.
Thanks in advance,
--
Bob
