Creating a website

updated: Jul 25th, 2024

COSI websites are stored in Docker containers on Tiamat.

Get permission to host a site from the current Lab Directors.
Create a DNS entry for your website on Zones.
- Follow the directions in the readme for Zones
- At step 3, add a line to both db.cosi and db.cslabs using the following format:
```
<requested_subdomain>  IN CNAME    tiamat
```
Clone your repo on Tiamat in the /docker directory (at the root of the file system). Your repo must contain a docker-compose.yaml as well as anything else that you need for your container to function.
Update /docker/caddy/Caddyfile with the following information related to your site:
```
<requested_subdomain>.cslabs.clarkson.edu{
    reverse_proxy <container_name>:80
}

<requested_subdomain>.cosi.clarkson.edu{
    reverse_proxy <container_name>:80
}
```
NOTE: This is the bare minimum required to make your site available. You can read more about configuring your entry here.
Restart all the containers by running ./run.sh in /docker.
