Secure Cloud based Webserver Project

This is a project I put together to create a highly secure cloud-based set of webservers with monitoring via an ELK stack.  As the web servers run in docker are the only machines visible to the internet, and the firewalled host machines are only accessible via ssh keys through a hidden jumpbox the build is highly secure.  In the event that one of the containers is crashed or compromised alerts will be sent to network admins, and the compromised machine removed from the load balancer.

The GitHub contains the instructions to build the network, as well as the needed ansible, docker, and elk stack configs.

Bash Scripting

As I have refined my workflows, and adjusted my daily driver linux builds as well as my Pen Testing builds in Kali and Parrot I have build a large number of scripts that I use on a daily basis.  Additionally, I have also built scripts for a Raspberry Pi Webserver project that are included in this respository.

Docker Based Web server on Raspberry Pi

This server was originally hosted on a Raspberry Pi from my Home.  It was containerized with Docker and was working great until my ISP decided that HTTPS traffic outbound on a consumer internet plan was not allowed.  While building this inside of containers is not needed, it allowed me to include monitoring solutions such as ELK stacks and Falco.  Plus I enjoyed the challenge of using solutions normally used on large scale projects on a tiny low powered piece of hardware.

This site was created from backups of that site and content-wise was identical to this site run currently run on a 3rd party hosting service.   Oddly it actually ran faster on the Rasberry Pi than it does with the current host.

Once I settle the disagreement with my ISP I will again host the website from my home using the very simple and energy-efficient Pi4 device.   It was quite challenging to get HTTPS running inside a container, and required an unusual amount of trial and error to get it working correctly, as it appears no one else has published how to do run WordPress in Docker on a Raspberry Pi and support HTTPS.  I am in the process of a full write up as well as all of the config files to place into GitHub and produce a youtube series on how to do this.

I have provided a link to my to-do list that goes over all the steps and software that were involved with the original version of this site.
