server setup

created new project
created new instance
purchased domain name from domains.google.com
set up static ip and set firewalls to serve https and http
called gcloud init to create a new profile on my mac to interact with the lindsay-labbook project
logged into the new instance gcloud compute ssh theodorelindsay@labbook1

installed apache2:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2

checked that the static ip for the instance was serving the apache test screen
created a coud DNS zone called lindsay-labook-zone (networking tab of the google cloud platform menu on left)
add two record sets, and A record and a cname. The A record (theodorelindsay.com) contains the static ip and the CNAME record contains theodorelindsay.com as the canonical name.
update the name servers for the domain back in domains.google.com:
- selected theodorelindsay.com in the my domains page and then select configure DNS tab.
- selected use custom name servers and added the name servers listed:

bash$ gcloud dns managed-zones describe lindsay-labook-zone
ok-zone
creationTime: 'time'
description: zone for personal website
dnsName: theodorelindsay.com.
id: 'someid'
kind: dns#managedZone
name: my-example-zone
nameServers:
- ns-xxx.googledomains.com.
- ns-xxx.googledomains.com.
- ns-xxx.googledomains.com.
- ns-xxx.googledomains.com

setup a jupyter notebook system using the setup commands listed here:
- check to make sure theodorelindsay is added to the staff group groups theodorelindsay
- if not add myself to staff so that I have access to site-packages and dist packages in /usr/local/lib/python2.7
- that didn't work but adding --user to the end as pip install jupyter --user worked.
- no need to install fiji
- didn't install ros
setup jupyter server
- jupyter notebook -genrate-config
- fire up ipython and genrate a passwd
```
from notebook.auth import passwd
passwd()
```
- add the password to the ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py file at the c.NotebookApp.passord = line and uncomment
- below uncomment c.NotebookApp.port = 8888
- create a new certificate using lets encrypt sudo apt-get install letsencrypt
Generated self signed certificate and key
Updated c.NotebookApp.certfile and c.NotebookApp.keyfile with absolute path to certificate and key
Updated c.NotebookApp.ip = '*'
set c.NotebookApp.open_browser = False
created firewall rule at google compute engine -> networking tab ->firewall rules->create
- created jupyter-notebook 0.0.0.0/0 tcp:8888
had a problem with the jupyter notebook not finding ipython. Solved by sudo apt-get remove --purge ipython and then pip install ipython
cloned https://github.com/psilentp/labbook.git into src.git
from the labbook repo root directory:
started the notebook server in the background with jupyter notebook &
installed the pelican requirments: pip install -r requirements.txt
updated the submodules git submodule update --init --recursive
set up a virtual host for apachie in /etc/apache2/sites-available/labbook.conf:

# domain: theodorelindsay.com
<VirtualHost *:80>
    # Admin email, Server Name (domain name) and any aliases
    ServerAdmin webmaster@duncanlock.test
    ServerName  theodorelindsay.com
    ServerAlias www.theodorelindsay.com

    # Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located)
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
    DocumentRoot /var/www/labbook/
</VirtualHost>

restart apache using:

$ sudo a2ensite labbook.conf
$ sudo service apache2 reload
