## Homebrew server fundamentals
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The homebrewserver.club is part of a larger 'self-hosting' movement where
|
||
|
|
people try to host on-line services such as websites, mail, calendars and chat
|
||
|
|
themselves. They do so in order to avoid reliance on the corporate services of
|
||
|
|
GAFA(google, amazon, facebook, apple), with all the consequences that has. The
|
||
|
|
homebrewserver.club takes the 'home' in homebrewserver.club literally and the
|
||
|
|
'self' in self-hosting figuratively.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That means we try to host from our homes rather than from datacenters and for
|
||
|
|
and with our communities rather than just ourselves. We host from home from an
|
||
|
|
understanding that paying for a home internet subscription means you use the
|
||
|
|
connection not only to download but also to upload. We learn about this
|
||
|
|
together knowing that it becomes easier, more fun and empowering than when one
|
||
|
|
does so alone.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
During the workshop, we will help participants through the fundamentals of
|
||
|
|
setting up a basic web server and all that entails. We will explore the
|
||
|
|
possibilities of low power hardware (either old or single-board computers),
|
||
|
|
understanding network topologies, re-configuring routers and exposing ports for
|
||
|
|
hosting our own websites outside of the 'cloud'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Among others, participants will be learning how to:
|
||
|
|
a) access a remote computer via the terminal
|
||
|
|
b) install web server software and set up a simple web page
|
||
|
|
c) configure a router to make their server accessible from the internet
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
No previous experience is required. If you have any old computer lying at home
|
||
|
|
that you would like to turn into a server, please bring it along! Otherwise, we
|
||
|
|
will have some material available that participants can use during the
|
||
|
|
workshop.

# Varia curriculum
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This workshop is organised as part of the Varia curriculum.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The curriculum is an ongoing series of workshops in which participants are
|
||
|
|
introduced to technical, theoretical and methodological skills at the basis of
|
||
|
|
the various practices that live within Varia. These are short intensive
|
||
|
|
master-classes or workshops aimed towards providing high level introductions as
|
||
|
|
a basis for further explorations.
