| Security Notes | This service is secured using HTTPS. The remaining non-HTTPS websites are being upgraded. | |||
Access
Web hosting happens on Toushirou.
Available methods:
- using a shell account is you already have one; if not, you might ask for one, but this is not easily granted for security reasons
- using a VCS repository
- using an FTP account is also possible but we try to deprecate this method.
Available Protocols
All websites are using HTTPS, with HTTP redirecting to HTTPs for security and privacy. Except if there is a very good reason, HTTP-only or without redirection is not an option.
All websites are also available via HTTP2, with the only exception being sites relying on Apache indexes because of this bug.
Available Languages
We currently support these langages:
- Python 2.7 and 3.7, and WSGI applications
- Ruby 2.5, and Rack-enabled (Rails…) applications
- Perl 5.28
- PHP 7.3
- NodeJS 10.15 applications
Java applications are not an option, but we may consider other languages though.
If you need libraries and tools installed, please contact an administrator.
Website Database
SQL databases are available, please look at this corner of the documentation.
If the database node is hosted on Toushirou, then you may use UNIX socket access for increased performances.
Website Generation
If you have shell access, then you can handle this yourself, setup hooks/crontabs/… as needed. Contact us if you need help.
If you don't have a shell access and your application needs to be generated, please ask an administrator. It may be possible to use a hook or crontab (not involving uncontrolled code for security reasons).
