| − | The [[CNM Next Server]] (hereinafter, the ''Server'') is a compute server that the [[CNM Digital Team]] (hereinafter, the ''Team'') uses for learning and testing. While being a part of [[CNM Servers]], the ''Server'' utilizes one [[DigitalOcean]] droplet, which is located at the [http://167.71.244.79 167.71.244.79] [[IP address]], and shall support all the applications that are installed at the [[CNM Fellow Server]]. In other words, the ''Server'' can be described as a learning and testing variant of the [[CNM Fellow Server]].

| − | ==Platform==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The ''Server'' is set up as a [[Digitalocean]] droplet with dedicated 1 vCPU and 2GB / 50GB Disk in its NYC3 datacenter (New York). The dedicated resources can be increased when the existing ones can no longer support all the services that the ''Server'' is expected to provide.

| |
| − | :*#*24/7 to the ''Team'' fellows;
| |
| − | :*#*24/7 to those ''Team'' associates whom the [[CNM Technology Board]] authorizes;
| |

| |
| − | :*#View its publicly-open pages 24/7 and register to everyone:
| |
| − | :*Easily restored when the ''Server'' fails. Those failures may particularly be caused by hands-on training sessions and experiments.

Some design ideas were proposed by Chris M. In early September, Atif G. was hired as the contractor. By mid-September, he installed the control panel, all its applications, web and mail servers. Atif G. also configured [[SSL certificate]]s, generated DNS records, and plugged most of the applications into the [[CNM Federated Servers]] through [[LDAP]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===To-do list===
| |
| − | :The ''Team'' believes that it is needed to:
| |
| − | :#Plug all the applications into the federal server through LDAP.
| |
| − | :#Design the policy of granting access to the ''Team'' staffers and learners.
| |
| − | :#Document all developments using [[CNM Labs]].
