Overview

uwdoss.unipharm.local is a production server VM that hosts open-source software being used by the business. This includes:

  • PostgreSQL relational database
  • MySQL relational database
  • Nginx web server
  • Moodle (eLearning site, to be migrated later)
  • Mediawiki (uniKB/uniWiki, to be migrated later)

The server runs Debian Linux.

History

Prior to this server, uniPHARM ran strictly Windows Server for all server applications and workloads. However, there began to be a need for open-source software. For example, Moodle and Mediawiki have been in production since 2015. These are currently being hosted on Windows, using a pre-packaged WAMP stack that arguably is better-suited for development environments. It was decided a Linux server would be useful to uniPHARM's growing need and usage of open-source software.

Administration

This server does not run Xorg i.e. X, and therefore no GUI exists. Instead, command-line prompt through vSphere remote console or SSH can be used. Credentials for the user and admin user are as follows: 

Generic user
Username: unipharm
Password: visionit

Dev user
Username: uwddev
Password: CH3CH3O

Admin user
Root user: root
Password: visionit
