Setting up the front end of this server, to be easy to use and intuitive for Highland County citizens, will be something of an evolution. The decision for the front end, a Wiki site, seemed to be a logical choice. With the addition of a dynamic menu in a sidebar, a wiki can be designed to accommodate numerous articles and file attachments in a manner that is information dense while being easy for visitors to navigate. So far, so good.
For the PC and Server enthusiasts in Highland County, this site was built on a VPS (Virtual Private Server) running Ubuntu Server (OS), Nginx (Web server), php8 (web scripting language), and Dokuwiki (the front end). It's been a long time since I've built a web server from scratch. Things have changed. Good security is not longer an option. It's a must.
