Camp Cretaceous, 7/8

Today, we learned about servers. We were taught their relation to routers and their purpose as to disperse the Wi-Fi. We learned about the vital components of a computer and server, such as the motherboard, GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), CPU (Central Processing Unit), RAM (Random Access Memory), PSU (Power Supply Unit), Hard Drives, and SSDs (Solid State Drives). Afterwards, we learned how to configure the server using Coolify, creating accounts to start automation workflows. We used N8N and WordPress as our pages to start our automation on, and downloaded the templates to work on. As a result of one of the servers reaching and error, we troubleshot the problem by manually shutting down the entire server and setting it back up. The purpose of this is to reset the entire process of the blog to create the account without the same error. We also remotely updated the server via ‘ssh’ (secure shell), logging in again to connect to the server with the IP address. Finally, we deployed this blog through WordPress, along with 2 other web apps through Coolify (Active Pieces, N8N), helping us understand the basics it takes to launch automation web apps.
